Laurel left a comment for Frank Millard"I better get a bigger bucket. Maybe they have some pills for that. I made it OK through my first treatment in 2004. It was only the two drugs then. I did not get sick but it did not work either."

Laurel commented on Hostess Rise''s group 'UCSF Transplant Center'"Remember when we dropped in on our doctor? She was kind enough to see us. Kaiser was billed $360 and my co pay was $30.

Hi Laurel
You know it is not everyday it is usually on M,W,F the days I take Bactrim, it is not that bad it is only in my hands. On my Prograf has been lowered since the tx so I have at least 5 months supplie of all the meds that I need. The insurance group I have pays all. Enough of that how are you feeling with the Hep.? Are you going through some type of Hep treatment? I still have trouble navagating through this site expressly when i get a message at my aol address keep me informed.

Cisco said… Laurel, if you would care to look, none of us who chat are very good at typing. I type much like I did in high school--slow with many mistakes. I type many of the same messages you received, and I still have to check what I typed, and even then, there are still mistakes in my typing. We are not that concerned about typos, or even how fast you can type, with or without mistakes, we just like to share and answer any questions which are transplant related.

you are exactly right laurel.the churches arent helpful and i dont know why there tax exempt anymore there such big business.funny you should mention churches .i just left my church and transfered to a different one.as i had to go to my moms for a couple weeks in march.went to church before i left thought i wrote them a check for my usual 5 dollars a week and thought o good ill have 50 dollars for the rest of the month to live on when i get back .well i ended up writing them a check for 50 by mistake .when i told them when i got back they chuckled and said the lord will take care of me.well after that the lords now taking care of me in a different church.

hi laurel thank you for the response.unfortunatly the weak sick and poor are put on the back burner in situations like this. we need to empower the working middle class first .then we get the trickle down affect where the money comes in to help the poor and sick.which is understandable.i have inspired groups of people some say my story has inspired them to get in the fight to recall walker. i even turned a few republicans.so if my story has helped anyone up here to help any of there situationsto get people inspired to get rid of walker.thats what its all about .and maybe me and people in my situation will get the help we need when this is all over bobbi

dear laurel i posted you a message yesterday and dont know where it went so im going to try again if you saw this already please disregard.i want to thank you for supporting wisconsi the tyrant really tore this state apart even tho hes being recalled he signed 50 new billsthurs.one was the discrimination against womanfor equal pay.i dreadto find out what the others were.when he first got inti office he attaked the sick poor and elderly we werehis first victims.thats when i got involved even tho i worked 35 yrs when i got sick i lost my job thus lost my insuranceand who can afford cobra.so they put me onsocial security medicare and something we have in this state called badger care. its like medicaide.well he made major cuts to badgercare thats why i think im not getting the new drugs bottom line money.my primary dr wanted to put me on pallative care last year but the hep dr said no id get a new liver .well with the cuts i doubt ill get the new meds or the new liver.the badger care cuts he made cant be overturned until next april.soim fighting to keep going until then.me and many others.ive tried to explain to people at rallys and meetings that this could happen to any one of them unless their rich.one minute your middleclass then you get a catostrophic illnessand could end up in my situation.in the system trying to keep your head above water let alone fighting for your life at the same time.so thank you for your supportlaurel and many other wisconsinites thank you also
Thank You
