Good Morning Ladies,

Yup Medicare only pays 80% that is why I got supplement coverage thru AARP. Only reason I did that cuz of needing Hearing Aids. Well, it sucks....last year hearing aid benefit only paid $100 towards hearing aid (mine cost at Least $1800 a piece). This year they went with a different company, all I have to pay is $150 co-pay per aid, but get this................their hearing aids are not strong enough for me. a lady called me towards the end of Feb. telling me this. Then she said she was going to talk to someone to see if a stronger aid could be made for me and still only pay $150, I have NOT heard anything from her since then. Every month $231 comes out of my SS for Medicare and supplement coverage, then I still have co-pays for some things. I quit going to PT for my hand, on top of gas and driving an hour, I was having to pay $15 co-pay twice a week. Besides the things that they had me do at PT I can do just as well here at home, plus I have a friend who is an Occupational Therapist.


I finished plating things on the side of the house, this is where the sun hits the biggest part of the day. I have strawberries that are getting ripe, yum yum. I hope that all the flowers seeds I tossed thru there germinate, it will be so pretty if they all bloom. Next year will probably be better. I don't know what to plant in the tires, any suggestions Ladies?????
