Hi to all Getwell HMO complainants. I escalated my issue to above email address and they are fast to give responses and forward to Insurance Association. I am now on pending to get my refund.

My mom got diagnosed with stage 3t throat cancer. Shes getting pretty beat down with chow o and radiation. She also is about to do the big chop as her harir is falling out fairly quickly. Can someone send a card with well wishes s to raise her spirits?

I rescued a sweet stray dog from the pound. I only had her two days before she became ill and come to find out it's Parvo. She is at the vet hospital getting care. Her name is Luna.

I have to have arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder in less than a week to reattach my supraspinatus tendon to my humerus, and my labrum has a small tear that needs to be trimmed. I’m a bit nervous about the procedure. However, I’m far more anxious about the recovery process. It seems daunting. Has anyone else been through this that can impart a few words of positivity or, especially, tips and tricks to help with the process? I know I’ll be in a sling for a month then I’ll gradually rebuild my shoulder through physical therapy. How bad is the post-op pain? How hard is it to do normal daily tasks like shower, cook, etc? Any words of wisdom or encouragement will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Here are some things would make my day. Compliments about my personality.

Compliments about my appearance. Heartwarming messages and stories.

Funny jokes or meme's to make me laugh.😊😊

I'm having a really rough day. I'm feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and just generally down. I could really use some kind words to help me feel better.

Can someone please tell me something nice about myself? Or about the world? Or about anything at all that will make me smile?

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it more than you know.

My sweet boy got bit last Friday in the face by a dog! He required emergency surgery to repair his pallet, lip, sinus cavity and a few other places on his face. With over 20 stitches in his face and a hospital stay under his belt he has been amazing at handling it all!! Of course his dad and I have spoiled him like crazy! However tomorrow he goes back into surgery to remove his stitches. But we got a long road ahead of us! I wanted to find a group to ask for get well soon gifts just to bring him some more smiles he definitely deserves it! Can anyone help me find something like this? I have searched with no results!!

Redditors I am calling upon you and summoning your energy!

I am asking each one of you to write a kind message wishing my grandma a speedy recovery and perhaps a heartwarming poem to go into the main context of the letter.

Thank you all very much.

Get well soon <3

My sister has been in the hospital for a month. She fell and broke her leg, she had surgery and is going through extensive therapy. She just turned 70 and could really use some encouragement! Would you please send a postcard, a card or a letter! Thank you in advance!

Hi all! I work for a non-profit organization here in Ohio and I've started a campaign this holiday season for people to write in holiday cards giving thanks, words of encouragement, and wishing a Merry Christmas to in-need veterans. We are asking for cards to be sent before November 28th where we will then distribute cards to low-income veterans who are often alone for the holidays. A simple card can mean a lot for someone who doesn't have a lot. Many of our senior clients are veterans currently living below the poverty line and often are financially and physically unable to complete necessary home repairs, keep up with house maintenance, and obtain basic furnishings. We help these clients by raising funds and hosting youth and adult groups in from all over the country to complete necessary renovations like replacing decaying roofs, building wheelchair ramps, and building accessible bathrooms. In our 12 years of operating, we have helped over a thousand veterans and seniors decrease their chances of becoming homeless and given them an opportunity to age in a safe, secure, and sanitary home. If you'd like to send a card this season you can address it to: HARP Mission 810 Main Street Caldwell, Ohio 43724 Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Mia was born with hypo plastic left heart syndrome, and a number of other problems. She had her first open heart surgery when she was 22 hours old. Next one was at six months, next at three and another at 4. Recently (May 25th) she went in for another surgery to repair her valve then got an infection which basically destroyed the valve and it had to be replaced July 10th (the same day she was supposed to start her favorite camp, Camp Odayin, a camp for kids with heart disease) and now she is jumping over hurdles trying to get home and it seems like everything that could go wrong, has. Mia is one of the most inspirational people i’ve ever met and I want to lift her spirits because she is starting to feel quite defeated.

If anyone at all could send a kind word her way, it would mean the world. Thank you.

Yesterday, my good friend Melissa's 3 year old son Roan was critically injured in a horrific accident involving a riding lawn mower near Richmond, VA. Roan was raced to the nearest hospital an hour away from his home, then immediately transferred to the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU where he remains in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

Roan's injuries are extensive and life-altering. He has lost part of a foot and is missing a large part of his right forearm from elbow to wrist. Right now his right hand is alive and as long as it stays healthy, the doctors hope to be able to save it. Regardless, he is expected to have severe nerve damage. Roan has already undergone two emergency surgeries with another expected in the coming days. He faces a very long road ahead with more surgeries, rehabilitation, prosthetics and therapies.

As stressful as this situation continues to be, Melissa is due to give birth to her fourth child at any time. Melissa herself faces recovery time as well as the constant needs of a newborn, and those of their 1 year old daughter, Liv and 6 year old son, Colin.This is an unimaginable accident and we are all still in shock.

UPDATE 5: *"He's out of surgery. They say he did great.

They are finished working on his foot. They will come back and check on it during his next surgery. If it is healing well, they don't think they'll have to work on it again.

They left his thigh alone this time around to give it more time to see what is healthy and what they'll need to clear away.

His hand is still surviving. His muscle and nerve tissue are also doing ok. He has some dead skin that they had to cut away. The more skin that dies the more skin they will have to cover later. The plan remains the same. Clean the wound again on Friday and continue to figure out what they want to try and do Tuesday.

He's resting now. Same thing as before. Critical condition in the ICU stable and sleeping.

Love you all

-Sean"*

UPDATE 4: *"Morning update. Please share.

He had an uneventful night.

They let us know late last night they scheduled this morning for his surgery. They just took him.

This surgery looks to be more serious than what I expected. There were way more people involved than I expected. It also will take much longer than it sounded like it would. They said it might be an hour or two.

So he's in surgery right now.

Please pray again.

I'll update when I know more.

-Sean"*

UPDATE 3: *"We made the local news <3 Thank you all for your support

UPDATE 2: *"Update from Sean, Roan's father:

Roan was blessed by both a priest and our Powhatan bishopbric. Prayer is the absolute most important thing right now. It's all we can do right now. It was amazing and I'm grateful that they came.

Roan is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. The only thing they hope to accomplish is to further clean his wounds. If his thigh is healing well they may try a temporary skin graft tomorrow.

Every other metric is as good as can be expected. This hospital is amazing. I could not be more happy with all they have done for him thus far.

He remains in critical condition inside intensive care. He is only critical because they have him sedated and are breathing for him, not because he couldn't on his own.

It is terrifying but they say he is doing great.

When he gets restless he responds almost immediately to me and Melissa. They are keeping him awake enough to wake up from time to time but then we try to get him immediately back to sleep. He knows we're there and looks, he stirs when we sing to him.

He is so broken but still so beautiful.

Tomorrow he has a surgery to clean his wounds. He has another on Friday for the same cleaning. They'll also be assessing his hand and forearm to further determine exactly what is possible and what they want to do for his hand and arm.

If these next surgeries go well, then he is scheduled for a major reconstructive surgery on Tuesday where they will attempt to rebuild his forearm and save his hand.

His fingers have good blood flow. They twitch, they think he can squeeze, the nerves are still in decent shape.

His radius bone in his forearm is gone. His ulnar bone remains and that is the more important of the two.

If all is successful he will be able to use his hand, bend his elbow but will not be able to rotate his wrist back and forth.

They also need to use an unused muscle from his upper arm to pull down and cover his elbow joint. It's exposed and needs to be protected and covered.

After all that, they need to cover it all somehow with skin. They haven't decided yet how they are going to do that.

I am noticing new things every hour. Things I wouldn't notice or think of otherwise. Holding his hand has become part of his essential care. We haven't let go since we've been here. He has 8+ tubes from different IVs and medicine running into his little hand. He has tubes running into him everywhere.

Just looking at him is- ultimate sadness. It's beyond heartbreak.

Holding his hand is our most important thing here. He holds on. He reaches when you let go. It's how we can tell when he's about to wake up or is getting scared. It's how Melissa and I vent this crushing turmoil we have.

I know that just holding his babe has become as important as many of the multitude of sensors and tubes that he has keeping him safe.

Thank you thank you all for everything. We are so grateful for everyone's support. There's so much everyone is doing for us right now. I am so grateful. Melissa is so grateful.

There is no way we could handle this without you all. I've never experienced anything like this and I am so thankful. I've never felt more love and Melissa and Roan feel it too.

I just hope and pray we can all hold his other hand too someday.

We love you all!"*

UPDATE 1: *"Thank you to everyone who has contributed by donating, sharing, or sending love. It means more than you know.

Roan remains in critical but stable condition in the PICU. He can breathe on his own but they are keeping him heavily sedated to keep him comfortable.

He is expected to have another surgery in the next day or so to clean his wounds and reassess his needs.

His hand is still okay barring any infections. A lot will depend on the health of his extremities.

Thankfully, Roan is at one of the top children's hospitals in the nation. They have a team of doctors who are working with him to make the best recovery possible.

The worst part is that we are all so helpless and little Roan is so frail right now. Family from as far as Hawaii is flying in to help with the other kids. We are so grateful for them.

He could be in the hospital for a week, if not more. We are worried that the cost of the ICU and future physical therapy and prosthetics will be more than they can bear. That coupled with the new baby that is due any day now. So thank you again for everyone's help...in any form.

Please pray for Roan. Pray for his hand and his little foot. Pray for Melissa.

If you are able, please, PLEASE share this post."*

EDIT: adding updates

So my sister (48) has been diagnosed with 6 different kinds of arthritis plus an as-of-yet unconfirmed autoimmune disorder. She is also a diabetic so steroids are not an option. They took her of work and put her on chemo. Some days she can barely move. She has always had a job and not working/ being sick is tearing her up mentally. She could use a cheering up. (Dont mention her sister requested it please. I want her

Thank you

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day, a day not many of us would prefer to be a part of, but grateful to be a part off. None of us chose to be part of this cancer club, but those were the cards we were dealt and we played them.

I am a stage 2 Hodgkins lymphoma survivor. I was declared cancer free on Jan 7th 2016. I went through 2 1/2 months of chemotherapy, but escaped radiation. I was fortunate that I caught it early. Which is an important reminder, mostly for the guys since most women seem smarter then us and see their doctors regularly haha. But see your doctor regularly, don't be afraid to get something check if it doesn't seem right, ignoring it won't make it go away.

We are the lucky ones, I cry whenever I hear of someone losing the fight, we are all connected by this unfortunate bond, but a bond none the less. If you are going through treatments, you are not alone. I went through some dark times, but had some good friends that helped me through it. There's cancer groups everywhere online, don't ever feel you're alone in this fight because you're not.

While it is a day for us to celebrate, never forget the ones we've lost and the ones in the fight. Please support the charities of your choice, mine is Pelotonia in which I will ride in assuming a current surgery allows me to. We've come a long way in the fight, but still have a long way to go.

So happy survivors day to my fellow brothers and sisters.

Erik

An email is required, but you don't have to use a real one. If you do, the hospital will send you occasional emails promoting events like this for the children or ask for donations. You can opt out at any time.
