Hey folks... been really busy today, and didn't even get a chance to pop in and post, so I figured I'd stop by before the days is up, and say HELLO!

So, ummmm..... Hello.

:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

I really have nothing to say, but even with that it still adds +1 to my post count. :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

:thumbsup2 she got a call this afternoon from the doc., they had there tumor meeting last night. yes, tumor meeting. it is group of drs. that get together from jefferson with every specialist represented and talk about people and there tumors and the best way to treat them. before they do anything, the drs have to agree on a treatment. anyway, tammys doc. as he has many times, took her case to the meeting and they all feel its from the radiation treatment and the inflamation should go away on its own in time. he told us the effects of radiation ( im not sure if its all radiation or the type tammy got) can effect you from 6 to 18 months after treatment and he has seen cases that years later have popped up with symptoms. so tammys feeling a little better. not to nuts about having brain swelling or having to have another mri in 8 weeks but she is counting her blessings. ive never seen so many young kids with white canes as i did wednesday at wills eye hospital.:sad1: i have a hard time watching little kids stuggle with health problems.

I think my DW's group does the same thing. We see the radiologist Monday morning. It looks like our health care only pays about 80% of radiation treatments, unless we're not understanding something correctly. I guess we'll find out Monday. Hopefully, the treatments will work and they'll really shrink this thing down to nothing.
 
Good Morning,

wow, i hope it covers the treatments for you completely. maybe its a network, out of network thing your looking at? tammys had the one time, stereotactic treatment. we were at the hospital all day. we got there a 6am, they did a cat scan first, than an mri. then they bolted, when i say bolted i mean bolted a halo looking thing on her head. her treatment lasted about 15 min. they billed my insurance company $65,000. my insurance paid $8600. and they took it as payment in full. :confused3 im not complaining but i just dont get it. im sure the hospital knows how much my insurance company is going to pay for the treatment. they know my insurance pays all but $150.00 for an mri and collects that before every mri. ehich i dont have a problem with that but if you know the insurance company only pays $8600, why bill for $65,000.:confused3 the dentist does the same thing. we need a pre auth. for mris so we always know we are covered before going into it, same way with her treatment, we had a pre auth. so we knew it would only cost me $150 for the mri. im sure they will let you know monday how your insurance works before they do anything. good luck mike!! will be keeping you guys in our prayers!! :thumbsup2

Ok, so we just moved to a new city and state. My son and I were involved in Cub Scouts last year (Tiger/Bobcat) and I was Asst. Den Leader. Almost all Dad led...camping, woodworking, carpentry etc.
At his new school/pack/den..it seems to be all mom led??? I went to the first den mtg...we wore our uniforms as we were used to. It was about 6 moms and a couple of high schools girls leading the den mtg of about 12 boys. We were the only ones in scout apparel. There did not seem to be much personal interaction with the boys, just rotating them through stations to "accomplish" activities. I tried to hang back (to see how they did things/ don't want to step on any toes).
I was very disappointed....not with the moms, I'm glad they were leading. Where are the dads? My son also plays football and almost every dad is there for every practice T/Th 5:30-6:30 and games on Sat. Not one other dad bothered to take his son to scouts on a sunday afternoon!?
What are y'alls thoughts?
I am more than happy to try to help the den, but not real comfortable being the only dad. I'm also not sure all the Leaders/helper s are certified/youth protection etc.(high school girls) I can do alot of the activities with my son outside of the meetings, but this so different than we were used to.

Any scouting DisDads...advice?
Thanks for the chance to vent.

Hey brother, this is me and me only....and keep in mind my guy isn't old enough for scouts yet...but here's my take on this situation.

I find this to be a sad statement of the current status of Fatherhood (or lack thereof) in today's society.

My dad, for all his faults, was very involved in anything we were doing, even if that particular thing held no interest for him (hell, he has been fishing with me...he HATES fishing). He also put aside what HE wanted to do, to get involved with what WE were doing--and that meant missing a few football games;)

I try to be involved and hands on with mine as much as I can (though he recently broke my heart by saying he "doesn't like fishing"--but that's OK, he's his own person:lmao:)

I really don't see how you lose by getting involved---matter of fact, I'm willing to bet some dad at home catches all kind of hell from his wife (who is at the meeting) about how you got involved, he didn't...etc. etc. etc.


My take? Depending on your read of the situation, get involved!

Of course, I'm on the couch with a Vicodin high, so take that into consideration.:rotfl2:

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! Get a facebook, start posting and the clients will come your way. You will be amazed at how many friends were thinking Disney and just too scared to do it themselves.

Any questions, this fellow Graduate will be happy to help you out!
