Okay, wouldn't common sense tell you that if you have a child with a neurogenic bladder (which I forgot to list on my last message) and she is catheterized all night, every night ... that you MIGHT want disposable gloves? Okay, let's say that the urologist told you that you as the mom don't need to be gloved and sterile, just "clean cath'ing". But home health nurses catheterize her 5 times a week. They are mandated that they have to wear gloves!
Yet our insurance company says that unless the patient is a quadraplegic, paraplegic, or has encopesis, you do not get disposable gloves.
HUH!?!?!?!?! Sure, they're not THAT expensive. But the little things that aren't covered, add up!
Stupid insurance company. I need non-latex gloves, in bulk.
We used to revel in the "new perfect" that was our life. Raising a beautiful girl with multiple special needs showed us that "perfect" is all in our minds. Emily's life was perfect. It was happy, it was brilliant. She was social, outgoing, silly, and ticklish. Now we are learning to get through life without our "Perfect Peanut" in it. This is most certainly NOT a new kind of perfect.
