About 10-15 years ago my husband spend $3000 for a hearing aid. He used it for a while then stopped using it (claimed the battery wasn't working, or the whole thing didn't work anymore.

Then several years ago he had an appointment at Fort Campbell with an ear doctor. She wrote him a prescription for a new hearing hearing aid that was only $500,00 but he only wore it for a week or two. I have to yell at him when I want to tell him something because he says he can't hear me. I tell him to put his effing hearing aid in. It's just like talking to the wall.

Did you ever suppose, not being snarky here at all, he just wants you to STFU? I tell my girlfriend “I didn’t hear you.” But I’m up at 0300 when I hear a cat bump against a door. I’m just tired of hearing her complaining, bitching,social drivel,etc. and guess what? I CAN’T hear her. I only pay attention to what is important.

You can buy contacts online out of Canada without a prescription at reasonable prices. Just do a web search.

I had my dentist receptionist tell me that....’you don’t have to rea it all’. I said to her, I don’t sign anything that I haven’t read, period. She looked pissed.

Then I read at the end of the release portion that FEMA and 1 million other fed agencies would be granted access to my records, I pushed the clipboard with the document on it back to her and said, ‘Fema? I don’t think so.”

I have been in contact lens since 1985 and it is a racket in the US. However, in Lithuania there are vending machines in public locations where contacts can be bought. In Thailand, if I can write down what I need or take an old box they will sell whatever I need. There is no reason to lock down US consumers, other than rip them off........

I know, had my first one done 16 yrs ago, surgeon was sloppy, big name eye institute for our area, he used the wrong strength implant and nicked a nerve, I’ve had Neuropathy burning in the eye ever since. Second one 6 yrs ago, different surgeon no problems except the film that had to be removed.

I’m at a point glasses don’t work any more. I did not have astigmatism before, I do now. Nor the dry eye infections, dry spots on both corneas. My bifocal sees in reverse minimizes instead of magnifying print. World is a blur at all distances. Vision Yo-Yo’s from 20/60 to 20/30 in the left eye with the wrong implant, and it can’t be fixed. See the Neuro Cornea Doc next week. I have nerve Neuropathy down my entire right side due to degenerative and damaged spine and drugs can’t even begin to control it. What works is FDA/DEA restricted. I hate having to pee in a bottle to get a seizure med for nerve pain like I am a street junkie. I’ve been on 8 seizure meds, only 1 works with out tons of side effects, and every one is on the DEA restriction list. And Valium is limited to 20 mg a day. That is 2 doses. Last 4 hrs.

And I positively LOATH my STUPID Primary she can’t even get a script right. She took the place of her partner who had to medically retire, I liked him and he was a good doctor. And can’t find a replacement thanks to DUMBOCARE gutting Medicare/Tricare Life few doctors will take new patients.
