I have ARVD and an ICD. With the progression of the disease, it has gotten to the point that The RV is not pumping very well and I have gone into heart failure. It's not too bad right now, but it has a way of rapidly declining the nearer I get to this invisible edge.
What I want to know, is if you have had a heart transplant, how did it go. Where did you have it preformed? How long was your wait for a heart? What are the guidelines for being listed? How long and painful is the recovery? How expensive are the meds if you have insurance? How many meds are you on for the rest of your life? Right now I take 40 pills a day. Does life get better? I am pretty much an ARVD couch potato. I noticed when I was in the USAF that I had no running ability, even for a mile, I would fall of the squadron's pace. I never have had any kind of physical stamina even when I was somewhat in shape. Unfortunately, I wasn't diagnosed as having this very rare disease until 2001 even though I was having syncope and sustained VT since the mid 1980's. Anyone out there picking up what I'm putting down? I welcome your responses.
This is a free chat room and you can talk to people who have had heart transplants.
http://groups.msn.com/TransplantSupportLungHeartLungHeart
Message Board - Another great way to connect to others and ask your questions that you have been meaning to ask and would like feedback from other members.

In the Resources you can find: Links, Medical Journals, Books, Medical Equipment, Money for Meds, Rx Programs, Support Groups, Lung Tx Centers, Heart Tx Centers.
Remember, the chat room can be found at:

All you need to do is create your nickname and then a profile (ex: post lung, Loyola, live in Ohio) Then join the great chat.
The Chat room is open 24 hours a day, but most often chatters can be found every evening from 8pm Eastern Time on into the night. Twice a week we have planned topic chat beginning at 8pm Eastern Time.

Sorry it so long, but well worth it. Courts gone mad. lol
>>>Time once again to review the winners of the Annual
>>>
>>>"Stella Awards."
>>>
>>>The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled
>>>hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in NM). That
>>>case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous,
>>>successful lawsuits in the United States. According to reliable legal
>>>analysists, for every idiot who wins a case, thousands of other
>>>imbeciles don't make it that far. We can thank our lucky stars for that,
>>>because it's you and me who end up paying for these mental midgets
>>>awards as companies pass the cost on to the consumers.
>>>
>>>When I was growing up, my folks told me that if I did something stupid,
>>>I'd have no one to blame but myself. I guess the Stella awards prove my
>>>folks, and every other law-abiding, intelligent person who takes
>>>responsibility for his or her own actions, dead wrong! AND I firmly
>>>believe that everyone on these juries should be locked up and the keys
>>>thrown away!!
>>>
>>>
>>>Here are this year's winners:
>>>
>>>5th Place (tie):
>>>Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of
>>>her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was
>>>running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were
>>>understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving
>>>little toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.
>>>
>>>5th Place (tie):
>>>19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses
>>>when his neighbour ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman
>>>apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when
>>>he was trying to steal his neighbour's hubcaps.
>>>
>>>5th Place (tie):
>>>Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had
>>>just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the
>>>garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning.
>>>He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and
>>>garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and
>>>Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He
>>>subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food.
>>>He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him
>>>undue mental anguish.
>>>
>>>The jury agreed, to the tune of $500,000. This is so outrageous
>>>that it should have been 2nd Place!
>>>
>>>4th Place:
>>>Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500. and
>>>medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door
>>>neighbour's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced
>>>yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might
>>>have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had
>>>climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with
>>>a pellet gun.
>>>
>>>3rd Place:
>>>A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster,
>>>Pennsylvania, $113,500. after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her
>>>coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had
>>>thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
>>>
>>>2nd Place:
>>>Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a
>>>night club in a neighbouring city when she fell from the bathroom window
>>>to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while
>>>Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to
>>>avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental

>>>
>>>And drum roll please………..
>>>
>>>1st Place:
>>>
>>>This year's runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City,
>>>Oklahoma.
>>>
>>>(This one sounds eerily familiar, like an urban legend, but it is a
>>>mater of public record in 2005 at the Superior Court in Oklahoma City.
>>>And it just goes to show that you can't protect stupid people from

>>>
>>>
>>>Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On
>>>her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the
>>>freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the

>>>Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual
>>>that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus

>>>
>>>The Winnebago company actually changed their vehicle operating manuals

Lets all hurt ourselves, then sue someone else. Lol
LMAO!! Not only is it hard to believe the stupidity of the people who instigate these lawsuits-but it makes me wonder how brain dead you have to be to be a juror that allows these idiots to win these cases!
I mean, if your kid climbs into your lap and says I want to grow up and be just like you…. you can take it at face value, smile and say awww, thank you…yet we know in our hearts our weaknesses and foibles that they can't see, and think immediately of the bad thingsa, at least I did today. One day, I might agree and think yes, this came on the heels of that right thing I did and he saw it, and understands lets say sharing, or forgiveness, or my cool temper with the grumpy neighbor…on another day, I might come out and say to him indirectly, you do not want this quality, you do not want to do what I do, do what I say….there are days I don't want my kid to be like me. Ever think that way?
Okay, you want an example….Um, my son (12) said he wanted to be like me once a long time ago (8ish?). He likes the fact I built him a 5 story treehouse out of scrap wood, with a fireman pole you have to slide down to get out from. I am building a sauna from good pre-owned wood (from the dump), and other recovered scraps (bricks of shingles, etc) for the family, because we are Finnish, and I would like one and I think they will like one. I built the kids a 60 foot tall swing between two 90 foot tall white pines in our rather large yard, and the kids love it (The neightbors think I am nuts and so does a neighboring insurance man who told me my homeowners might cancel me if they ever knew…..whatever…) I am lower middle class, and I grew up higher middle class. Soooo, I would say financially, I/we have not done as well as where we came from, even though we both work full-time. Okay, here it is…I DON'T WANT MY BOY TO DO THE THINGS I DO !!! I WANT HIM TO DO/HAVE BETTER.Build with new wood. Have the olympic gym/swingset/store bought fort thing. I am not a carpenter, but I manage to create somewhat wfe things no one has died on yet…. I give my kids good things I think they will enjoy, since I cannot give them the things they want (horses, RV trips, a cabin, etc). Yet I still can't fully accept the "high honor" from my son that he wants to be like me when he grows up. I don't want him to turn out like me, scrimping, scrounging, make do with leftovers, taking "scraps from the master's table" as it were. These are okay, but I find it hard to look him in the eye and tell him straight faced.."Everybody collects golf balls on the course cuz they are soooo darned expensive." This is something I do that gives us exercise and free balls (some really nice Nike balls too), but I don't want him to do this later in life. Please, Lord don't let him folllow my example on this one. I'll utter in prayer….
I ALWAYS hope that my (soon to be four) kids will do better than we do/did, and will aim high, even higher, so they might just experience things better. Just better. My life hasn't been bad, I just know there are things I want him to steer clear of and pursue instead. What do you think? Can you accept a child's I want to be like you compliment without reservations? And should we?
I need more information please, you're being to vague. LOL, Just kidding. You sound like a really loving parent and as any good one does, you hope for the best for your kids.
House will prob. be declared a total loss…what does that mean? If declared that term will the dwelling coverage of the insurance be paid out to the max as well as the contents? There also is a loss of use amount on my insurance policy, will that be paid out to me in full/I have to pay first and then get reimbursed. Not much can be done since the electric can't even be turned on till next month and many homes have a do not occupy sign posted…IT won't be a quick fix. CAn an upcoming purchase of a rv/5th wheel travel trailer be placed under a loss of use claim since living in a 1 room hotel is just difficult w/ a family? Will the insurance company make offers on total loss in terms of what will be paid out or is it an auto max payment of what the dwelling covers? Or does it go beyond the dwelling coverage if the fair market value is used since repairing it into what it used to be exceeds the dwelling coverage amount? thank you
When I had my total loss….
Allstate set an amount for me to rent a place (just like what I owned) and they gave that to me each month - and I had the option to rent a smaller place & pocket the rest (loss of use)
Dwelling should be rebuild exactly as it was minus you paying your deductible…if you had replacement cost.
If you had Actual Cash Value - they might cut you a check for the worth of your home - with depreciation….
Contents - They will cut a check…with depreciation for all the contents you can list/remember
and if you have replacement cost - as you replace the items & send in the receipts…they will reimburse you the different to pay your full replacement cost.
Good luck…remembering everything I owned was the biggest challenge!!! But you have 3 years to finish out your claim
We are essentially nomadic due to my husband’s job. We live in an RV and have to move anywhere from every few days to every few months, and this is not going to change for at least another 3 years. However, I just found out I’m pregnant. So now it’ll be myself, my husband, AND an infant. It won’t be as big a deal at the very beginning, but when he/she gets big enough to need social interaction we’ll have to be pretty intentional about finding opportunities to play with other toddlers, plus the logistics of living full time in an RV park with a small child. Any suggestions and tips on how to make this work?
(Please do not suggest my husband get another job, this is a well paying career with excellent benefits, including health insurance, and the benefit of sticking with it for the long run greatly outweighs any temporary inconveniences.)
When he/she is little I'll probably wear her most of the time in a sling or mei tai carrier, strollers take up too much space.
I think we have the birth thing figured out. We pretty much travel throughout just one (huge) state so I'll pick a midwife in a central location and travel there for appointments, then get a furnished apartment near the birth center for the month before and month after my due date.
Gee, thanks for your support "ya ya."
No, finding another job is not an option because this is a necessary step in his career, not just a job. And no, raising my child without daddy around is not going to be the best thing for anyone. If you aren't going to offer positive suggestions, I don't need your input. We aren't the first people in the world to live like this and it's not impossible.
We will not still be doing this by the time our baby is Kindergarten age.
My son is more “socialized” then most kids his age (he’s 2.5 years) -that’s not just my opinion I get that from a lot of toddlers. He always says hello, and goodbye. He wants to play with other kids not beside them. He will talk to anyone -child or adult.
Its a myth that socialization only happens between kids of the same age, in fact that is the worst form of socialization unless its very closely supervised. Kids can be cruel, also kids of the same age have the same behavioural problems and the same things to be learned. Socialization is learned the same way anything else is -by watching their elders and particularly adults.
So get out with your son as much as possible -malls, coffee klatches, church, whatever. And as he gets older there are parks and indoor playgrounds -he will meet lots of kids. It doesn’t have to be the same kids every day.

PS Your prenatal care is none of my business, you didn’t even ask about that. But since others have decided you need to tell them about it can I recommend:
Empowered Childbirth

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/empoweredchildbirth/ (ugh its back in age-restriction again, I swear its just a normal pregnancy and birth group -well ok maybe not “normal” as its anti-useless intervention)

No matter who you are EVERY woman should know how to birth their own baby -things happen.
Yesterday a friend and I went to look at RV's to rent. My husband and I had rented one from this same place last Sept to go to the Grand Canyon and had had a good experience with this company. Well, she and I had gone into some of them to check out the inside, probably about eight, since renting last time I'm EXTREMELY careful getting in and out, hand rails etc. One of the employees came around and we looked at several w/ him, then went inside for info on renting, the employee came out to show us our opts. and got a call and walked away. Unfortunately the last RV we looked at I ended up slipping on the last step coming out, twisting my ankle and ending up on the ground. My friend ran to the office and he was w/ another customer. They left me laying on the ground for 20 mins before even calling 911. Long story short, my friend ended up driving me to hospital, using my own insurance, I have a fractured ankle, I can't go back to work 6 to 8 weeks( I 'm a server). What are my options now
The non slip covering on the bottom step was in disrepair. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking for some BIG SETTLEMENT, I wouldn't have driven to the hospital or even used my own insurance if that were the case. Now it's about my job and being able to pay bills etc. I don't want to just take time off (6 TO 8 WEEKS) but I CAN'T work. I'm a server in a restaurant and crutches aren't an option. I just need to what steps to take from this point and what I should expect.
Honestly, I don't think you should do anything. Sure it'd be GREAT to get some time off work and sue the hell out of a company and get money out of them… but the truth of the matter is, you slipped and it was an accident. Whatever you slipped on I'm quite sure was not intentionally placed in your path to cause you injury.
My advice is to take care of your ankle and get some rest. Anything more would be out of line.

15. One of the throw pillows on your bed is a hot water bottle.
16. Conversations with people your own age often turn into "dueling ailments."
17. You keep repeating yourself.
18. It takes a couple of tries to get over a speed bump.
19. You discover the words, "whippersnapper," "scalawag" and "by-cracky" creeping into your vocabulary.
20. You're on a TV game show and you decide to risk it all and go for the rocker.
21. You begin every other sentence with, "Nowadays…"
22. You run out of breath walking DOWN a flight of stairs.
23. You look both ways before crossing a room.
24. Your social security number only has three digits.
25. You keep repeating yourself.
26. You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity.
27. You go to a Garden Party and you're mainly interested in the garden.
28. You find your mouth making promises your body can't keep.
29. The waiter asks how you'd like your steak…and you say "pureed."
30. At parties you attend, "regularity" is considered the topic of choice.
31. You start beating everyone else at trivia games.
32. You frequently find yourself telling people what a loaf of bread USED to cost.
33. Your back goes out more than you do.
34. You keep repeating yourself.
35. Cafeteria food starts tasting GOOD.
36. You refer to your $2500 stereo system as "The Hi-Fi."
37. You make it a point to attend all the RV shows that come to town.
38. You realize that a stamp today costs more than a picture show did when you were growing up.
39. Your childhood toys are now in a museum.
40. Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion.
41. The clothes you've put away until they come back in style…come back in style.
42. All of your favorite movies are now revised in color.
43. The car that you bought brand new becomes an antique.
44. You keep repeating yourself.
45. You find this list tasteless and insensitive.
You been spying on me?
Very true!
Funny!
I live in Illinois and was wondering how much rv insurance is. Can't I get it just for the summer?
Fairly expensive, and yes, you can pay for 6 months then cancel, or better yet, get a storage clause set up, so that there is some protection while it sits.
Good luck.
Just when you think you have seen it "all"….
2005 Stella Awards!
Time once again to review the winners of the Annual "Stella Awards." The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in NM). That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United State s
Here are this year's winners:
5th Place (tie):
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000. by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.
5th Place (tie):
19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical
expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
5th Place (tie):
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was
malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door
connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed, to the tune of $500,000. In my opinion this is so outrageous that it should have been 2nd Place!
4th Place:
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500. and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
3rd Place:
A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500. after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2ndPlace:
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge . She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses
1st Place:
This year's runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000. plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete idiots around.
That's hilarious….idiots…..thanks!
