Thanks for the info. I am to meet with the performing doctor on the third of nov. The other opinion ex[ressed by the humana employee was that the doc said had a lot to do with whether or not Human would pay for it.

It has only been around about 3 years. Many people have had them inserted. Of all the reviews i have read about the valve only one has been negative.

I was hoping to hear from the doc today, no such luck but then again it has only been 2 days Breathing seems to be getting worse,doing a lot of wheezing now after just walking 20-30 feet did not used to do that.
I am kinda surprised that we are not under a lock seeing as how bad it has got.
It is always good to have a lovely nurse
