A dear friend was on Kaiser Advantage in Georgia. His heart stopped and then restarted. It was “heart block.” Kaiser said they wouldn’t authorize a cardiologist appointment for 3 months. One month later it stopped again and he died. I’m still furious.

About 5 years ago, before this scam became well known, I was awakened by a call saying it was from Social Security and to call another number. I did and from a man with a foreign accent told me a wild story about a car registered to me was found with my name and a “white powder” in it. I realize that I was still in a dream state as he had me give him my car VIN #. He then asked how much was in my bank accounts. I actually told him. When he finally asked for the account numbers, I snapped out of my trance and said, “This is a scam!” and hung up. I called Social Security and they confirmed the scam. A year later a friend nearly fell for the same thing but was somehow able to stop money he had sent. I don’t answer calls if I just got up (or most calls now). I was contracting with SSA at the time which was why I did then.

Been through that with both parents. Thank goodness for the help from my brother as we both learned about dealing with this. They were broke and had dementia and none of us knew anything about Medicare or Medicaid. We had to supplement the aid we got for assisted living for Mom and the VA nursing home for Dad. (My grandfather ended all his letters to me with “Aways” by Mr. Berlin.)

t’s difficult especially when you live alone. I hate throwing away food. Also I cook low carb meals now ( borderline diabetic) so my daily banana has been replaced with blueberries. Plus being a 68 year old woman, I’ve been trying to increase my daily protein and I’m seeing increased muscle which helps my workout and hopefully will prevent falls.
