I am on the precipice of my first clinic visit planning to call them tomorrow. I’m hoping I (and the Mrs. especially) can make the journey into Gotham to the Columbia University hospital.
I read on their website that an interdisciplinary team visit lasts three hours and can cost a thousand dollars because insurance does not cover everything. Even though I have a diagnosis I am more worried that the first visit will just be that—just a visit, than another visit for testing, same o, same o
I’m in real need of more active intervention. My car driving days are just about kaput and I can no longer walk safely outside the house. This sounds like whining after just reading about a woman who has to make a three hour trip to MDA with an incontinent husband on a feeding tube, GOD BLESS THEM
Does anyone regularly use the clinic at Columbia, any product recommendations for a wheelchair and a walker? I am five ten and weigh two hundred pounds
and like long walks n the beach, who wouldn’t?
Joel, I think "you the man". Even though I am losing it, you bring sanity and personal responsibility to the often hairy problems caused by the Beast. Day at a time, Day at a time, Day at a time,
