According to HME Business, a trade magazine relevant to my field, the number of O2 suppliers was down 50% (fifty percent!) from last year. I thought it was 20%. Apparently the 20% is just HME providers in general. There’s also a brilliant editorial note from the same magazine. When it becomes available on the site, [...]
One of the more weird things to happen today. Woman calls, starts giving me an ID number, to which I respond that we’re not an insurance company, is she one of our patients? No. I explained that we’re a DME, and is there anything I could help her with? No. “Have a nice day.” So [...]
The anticipation is so much higher the second time, since there’s a Nora in the mix. Her life is going to change forever. I don’t know if she really understands what a little brother means. Maybe she does. I know I never give her enough credit. She always surprises me. But this isn’t a singular [...]
With the impending arrival of the baby, I just want to go at full speed, but Lisa wants to chill out and do nothing. Problem is, I can’t shut it off. Even now, I’m planning my evening and such, but fully cognizant that I should just rest and sleep. On the flip side: two kids?! [...]
I understand Medicare needs to reign in their costs. They could’ve done it by cutting the payment, not shutting off the flow after 3 years. I don’t understand why they opted to do this. Basically, a patient who was with one company that went out of business is trying to find another company to take [...]
Nora and I played in what was left of the snow. I had a chance to break out the camera with the AF-S VR lens and practice some manual focusing. I’m thrilled with the results. Nora afforded a slight smile after dancing in the snow. F/6.3, 1/160, ISO-200 Edited with the GIMP + Phatch. Click [...]
Michael sent me a text few days ago asking if I had taken over 1,000 photos on the new camera. After a moment’s contemplation, I sadly admitted that I hadn’t. Christmas went wonderfully well (450+), but since then it’s been bitterly cold, with nothing to photograph. So this morning I decided to break out the [...]
Forget the netbook, forget the Droid, forget all that. The one and only gizmo I want is an eReader. For the last year, I’ve been using this free program called CutePDF to save interesting stuff I find on the web. It’s very simple: whenever you choose to print a document, you simply point it to [...]
I’ve been pretty quiet about my linux escapades because it usually means I set myself up for failure and go back to Windows, but lately it’s all I use at home. I haven’t found myself wanting anything or missing anything and surprisingly it is now working better than xp on my aged laptop. Specifically, on [...]
Lisa took this picture of me to show me just how ‘ridiculous’ I look. I think it’s one of the best pictures of me ever taken. You can agree with me in the comments.
