What cause would you stand for?  

You have always stood for the children's and causes for distressed women. I really appreciate. I just cannot see the kids unhappy. They are most precious.

You have hit the nail ion the right spot Alok. "Peace and harmony" could change the society unwinding all the malicious practises. We cannot have peace and harmony without having our children giving home, safety and love, we cannot have it without ensuring the seniors respect, reliability and assurance, nor could we have it without loving each other!

Thanks.

It feels sad to see the little girls being exploited and made to do derogatory stuffs. Girl child is still considered curse in some parts of our country. It feels sad.

I agree with you totally mentalward! The medical care in
the US is disgusting! If you don't have money to pay for
insurance and meds, the government does give a damn how you
manage!

This is indeed sad state of affairs. People are denied of necessary medical facilities - what could be more gross! Situations here are worse. People are harassed, declined and made to die unattended. Medicare will invariably have an issue or two to deny you of your privilege.

How are you dear? I heard about your heart ailment. I just hope you get better and get all that you need to make yourself happy. Love and hugs.

People here have died waiting in emergency rooms because the ones who could pay are always seen first. Sometimes, those without an ability to pay are never seen at all, but sent away.

I still don't know what is going on with my heart. I'm being seen by doctors because I do have insurance, although, to date, out of almost $5,000.00 in medical bills, our insurance has only paid for $136.00 so far, yet we're paying almost $400.00 a month to HAVE this medical insurance!

But, aside from that, I am getting seen by doctors. I'm wearing a Holter monitor right now to record my heart for 24 hours. Those 24 hours will be over in about a half hour, when I am to return the monitor to the hospital where a cardiologist will look at it. I cannot drive because I'm so weak and lightheaded, so my husband went in to work very early this morning and is leaving work at noon today so he can return the monitor.

I have an appointment to have an echocardiogram on the 20th, just four days from now. I should be getting a call today to get an appointment for a stress test soon. I am to speak with a cardiologist on the 30th unless these tests show something serious.

So, I'm just trying to take it easy until I have these tests and get the results. Did you read my discussion about spending the day in the ER on Tuesday?

H dear

I am sorry for being late here. I just hope that your Echocardiogram and Holter reports are OK. I work with a leading Interventional Cardiologist of the country, who besides being a great doctor is a great human. I am concerned about you. Pls tell me if you want to know anything.

Hi mimpi.

I had my echocardiogram yesterday. I joked about my heart having "hiccups". Three normal beats, then a "double beat". That's the way it was during the entire test. I'm not sure what's going on yet, but it seemed as though the technician doing the echo concentrated far longer on one specific area of my heart. (Facing me, it would be the upper left area of my heart.) Whether that means anything or not, I don't know. She couldn't say anything, I know, because she's not a doctor, but she did say she saw the extra heartbeat. I still have it. It just won't go away.

She told me that the cardiologist would be reviewing the results last night and my doctor would get the results today or tomorrow. I'm keeping my phone by my side all day today, and tomorrow if need be.

If it turns out to be purely stress, I'll be sending copies of the reports, all of them including my last visit to my internist, who sent me to the ER, then the report from the ER plus the cardiologist's report directly to my senator, congressman and the disability judge. MAYBE, that will push my disability case to the top of the pile and I'll hear something soon about it.

I just don't understand the fluctuating pulse rate, from 62 to 110 back down to 70something, up again, down again, all while I'm resting. I don't get it. If you know what would cause that, I'd love to know!

From what I could see on the monitor, it looked like my veins and arteries were all open, not clogged up with plaque or anything. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the update. The heart could fluctuate due to various reasons. The cardiologist definitely would tell you about this in details. Permanent pacing is only necessary when it gets much above or below your range. So, you relax dear. There are various medicines to keep heart rates in check.

You take care.

Thank you, mimpi. That actually does relax me some, knowing that I will most likely not need a pacemaker. I haven't heard anything yet, so there can't be anything urgent going on. I think I'd have heard something by now if something had to be done immediately.

I'm still having the palpitations and my pulse rate is still fluctuating, but I do feel much less stress now than I did. For now, my husband has changed his attitude and is being nice, considerate and caring. I hope he's finally realized that he's probably the main reason why I've been suffering from such stress. He's been attentive and helpful since Sunday night.

For now, I'll accept that much. But, I'll still work on becoming financially self-sufficient so I never feel "stuck" in a bad relationship ever again.

Hopefully, our insurance will pay for these tests. Based on past experience, I'm not counting on it, but it would be hard for them to say that this was a 'pre-existing condition' since I've never been treated for palpitations or fluctuating pulse rate before now.

It really is horrible not knowing whether the insurance we pay for will do what we pay for it to do: pay our necessary medical bills.

The medical expenses are quite exorbitant there, I heard. I just hope you get the clearance from Mediclaim. It's good to know that things are better on your personal front. Emotional hurts and pains are so painful to deal with and you are such a sweet person dodging those and smiling at life. Love you dear and be happy always.

Hugs.

That's a nice stand deepak. You are such a wonderful person. I think, dowry deaths ae still pertinent in our place and people like you make life so much more beautiful. I stand by you.

Hi dear!
Honestly, speaking I try to do my part in eradicating evils from our society, whatever is possible from my end. Thanks for appreciating my stand and for supporting the same.

Thanks Deepak. We need more people like you.

Hi dear!
Shall I go for searching some more similar to me!

I feel strongly for this cause aswell. I hate unfairness and try to protest it whenever and wherever I can.

Thanks.

You are such a beautiful person! Animals abuse is most gross and done by sick people. Nothing like caring for animals, caressing and sheltering them. you are doing a great job Opal. Love you.

You are so sweet! I think love for animals is instinctive and must come from within. You knew that that is what you want to do since your childhood.

Life is beautiful and you give more meaning to live Michael. Life becomes beautiful with your motive and I wish to imbibe your philosophy (physics theory) in my living pattern as well. Your thoughts make me realise how petty life I have been living!

I really appreciate Jenin. These would be on my list as well. Both elderly people and children are insecure and we must ensure their safety and good living.

Thanks.
