Anyone have "friends" or relatives that don't understand the decision for surgery that we parents are having to make for our children?
I have a "friend" who has been trying to push chiropractic care on me. When I was discussing this with her last night and talking about insurance and such covering the costs, she actually said to me, "Isn't your dd worth it?"
I just about blew a gasket at her. She has NO idea about what a struggle this has been for me emotionally.
I am still very upset by this. I would move heaven and earth for my child. I wish it were me instead of my dd having to face this. And even if the surgeon we chose would not have taken our insurance, we were going to find a way to make this work for my dd.
She kept telling me of successes this chiro had with patients, but when I tried to pin her down specifically about scoliosis, she didn't have an answer for me.
Btw, when I asked my "friend" about the success rate her chiro had with scoliosis, she said she didn't know, but she had talked to her chiro (without my permission) about my child's case. Yet she didn't tell the chiro the degree of curve, etc. Her chiro said yes, they had great success with treating scoliosis.
Thanks for letting me vent. I just cannot believe this happened.
