I eat like a mouse now or maybe a pig close to the plate lol. Kind of have the same though about eating outside. I was going to ask about insurance. Did you have to appeal or was it just considered medically necessary after a telephone call. I have Medicare now, but have secondary supplement to cover other charges, but Medicare has to approve first. I want to get one, and would motivate me to use, and will see my therapist about a prescription for it. What I think about is the limited mouth opening, which have different grades, and ifI need surgery, I wonder how they will get in, need a Trach, jaw split, anyway, that's down the line.
