logcabinmama Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Good morning everyone, I just want you to know that I talked to Fran yesterday. She had just gotten home and was in a lot of pain yet. Of course they had sent some nice pain pills home with her. Sounds like the surgery went fine and tomorrow she can take the bandage off. She is able to read on line, but not doing any posting as she has to much trouble typing with just the one hand. She said to tell you all 'Hi', for her and thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Remember, she is all along as far as family goes, she has no one in the town where she is. The neighbors have been very kind to her. She is unable to have any kind of insurance because of her medical conditions. She has not been in TN long enough to get on any kind of state insurance. So this is going to cost her a bundle. Sorry I didn't get this in yesterday, but I didn't get on line after I talked to her. Quote Link to comment
Lois Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I thought his ugliness was supposed to help with some of her medical bills, maybe I'm wrong... Quote Link to comment

logcabinmama Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 Just a short post to let you know I just heard from Fran. You know 'Murphy's Law', well it is so true. Fran didn't call from her home, she called from the hospital. She has pneumonia now and will be in the hospital for a few days. She is also getting blood transfusions as they said her blood was low. She also told me her DD and SIL are on their way up from FL. to be with her. I asked her to let me know when she gets home as she didn't know the phone number of the hospital. I didn't think fast enough to get the name of the hospital either. She sure has had her share of problems. Quote Link to comment

logcabinmama Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Good morning, just a quick post to let you know that I talked to Fran yesterday and she thinks she may go home today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Fran, sure hope you heal real quick and also DD finds a way to stay an extra day to stay with you.... Quote Link to comment
mrszouave Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Oh noooooooo Frannies daughter can't stay????? Bummer.....sure wish i could go and help out!! Sure glad Fran's gettin out! Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Frannie.......I'm so sorry to hear that you have been ill, and in the hospital. I send my prayers and positive energy for your recovery. Snowmom said you couldn't get any help with medical bills because you hadn't been in TN long enough! If it's Medicaid, they can't do that. There is a Federal law prohibiting ANY waiting period for American citizens, in any state. If it's a state funded program you're looking at, it could be different, unless they receive matching funds from the Feds. I'd sure like to talk to you about it.......maybe I can help. In the meantime, please get well. {{{Frannie}}} Quote Link to comment

Hospitals have programs for just this thing... If you have problems I can give you info on it! Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 They say my case is 'pending' with TennCare. Guess that's a medicaid for disabled folks. Keep your fingers crossed please Quote Link to comment

Linda Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 hope Fran is doing lots better. i understand the medicale $$$. We where paying out over 1000.00 just in meds for dh. Sure do hope you get the help with these bills and things. I get really upset with THOSES PEOPLE(?) when there are those in need. our DSIL got ourt of a er bill. he had to take our dd to er and ended up paying only 50.00 for the bill. He has wrote a booklet on how to do it all. If you want let me know and I can let you know how to get it a copy. it really works Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Oh Fran hope you're doing better. PM me is I can help. Diane Quote Link to comment
