Branches of Government

I thought that I was going to be incurring a lot of extra expense when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I’ve heard some horror stories about what this person’s insurance covered and what that person’s insurance didn’t and how much all of the materials and supplies can cost. While doing some research online to find the best equipment I could get as far as reliability and ease of use were concerned, I stumbled on a sight that helped me find out that I’m eligible for free diabetic supplies. I was studying some of the information on the American Diabetes Services website when I noticed a window in the sidebar that advertised the potential for free supplies. I clicked on it and all I had to do was fill out a simple form with some generic information about my age and insurance and things like that, then the site informed me that I was, in fact eligible. All of the top of the line equipment: the meter, the lancets, and the test strips, all delivered to my door free of charge. If I were given a choice, I would obviously rather not have the diabetes at all, but since that isn’t really an option I’m certainly glad I can get all of my supplies for free.

We are going to have a substitute in my political science class for the next two weeks; our current teacher, Mrs. Smith, is going to be away in New York for these two weeks. Mrs. Smith is going to get Lasik eye surgery. I asked Mrs. Smith: “What is Lasik?” She told me that Lasik is a type of eye surgery that permanently repairs one’s vision to the point that they no longer have to wear eye glasses or contact lenses. Mrs. Smith wears very thick glasses that really seem to bother her. I am glad that she is getting this Lasik surgery; she is going to be a much happier person, which can result in better grades for all of us. When my classmate Tom asked Mrs. Smith: “What is Lasik?”, she told him that “It is the surgery that your sister got so that she no longer had to wear glasses or contact lenses.” I guess that Lasik is the reason why Tom’s sister stopped wearing her glasses. This Lasik eye surgery must work very well; Tom’s sister was back in school after only a few days of being away. She also had no noticeable side effects of the Lasik surgery.
