Well, that was a waste of an hour.

I can, but they likely would deny it. If they denied claims for ambulances and medical transports. Why would they return less than 40 bucks?

@RasmaSandra Daytona does have a service that does kind of cover this. However, you have to go ex ammount of times a month, it's not that relyable, and if you cancel ex ammount of times they'll kick you off. You have to reserve twenty-four hours in advance and be at your location for at least one hour. I used it on and off for a few years. However, I found it wasn't worth the hassle. And, it's still a cash-only system so I'd run out of cash, quick. while it's cheeper than Uber, I can put Uber on a credit card.

@kaylachan a question came to mind because I have been told I could get medical transport or social security recipient transport etc. For me, I don't go to doctors and I have no place really to go to take a transport so I don't use it. Would it be possible for you and George to get this kind of transport for his appointments so you don't have to always pay for Uber?

I completely agree. I am glad it got us out of the house, but I wish I'd known.

@just4him Iyt turned out alright.

@kaylachan I agree. It would have been nice to know before you need to make a useless trip.

@kaylachan I agree. They should give us the courtesy of 48 hour notice unless emergency with another patient which cannot be controlled.

@kareng I know. Doctor's offices are real good with the reminder calls. But, heaven forbid you have to cancel, or they cancel on you.

I hate when that happens.

Being told the day before is annoying, but it doesn't cost me anything. The worst part, is having to take an uber, get there, wait and then be told the appoitment was canceled by the VA. yeah.

@kaylachan That is awful.

@GardenGerty Tell me about it. At least the weather turned out nice.

George doesn't like being far from home. So he won't go to lake nona. So I'm fighting for community care.

@Morleyhunt It's good you have something like that in place.

@kaylachan I’m fortunate I qualify for 4 hours respite 3 x a week. We are only using one afternoon at the moment, but I am prepared to accept more hours as time progresses.

It happens. I'm over it and so is George.

@kaylachan Good to know that you feel better.

Its the govornment, what are you going to do?

I'll think about it. The va really hasn't been to friendly when it comes to travel expenices here. Hell, they denied the claims for the ambulance and medical transports between hospitals. Somehow I doubt they'll refund me the urbr rides.

It sucks, sure. I'll live.

Believe me I would've. But, I lost their phone number, not that I would've been able to read it. Hey it could've been good and not a waste of time.

No, it shouldn't.

I would if I could.

That works for me, sure. Not for George and visa versa. At least until he turns 65 and qualifies for those benifits. He's only 63.

@kaylachan Oh, I thought he was 65, that does make a difference. I wish there was something for him, as well, to provide rides. I would be upset as well, to have made the trip and paid the money out for nothing.

tell me about it.
