I don't really know, and I am getting tired of asking. I know, don't give in now. This is exhausting--both mentally, as well as physically. Here here it is Friday again and another week gone by. I am beginning to not remember what 'well' feels like! C.  |

Ok. Depending on who you ask and what they're looking at, my request has either been denied or is still in progress... Of course, Saturday and Sunday are down days for these types of issues, so we are looking at Monday or Tuesday at the earliest.
Patience--

Still waiting.....
Dreary, cold, and rainy fall day. Furnace is running, and I am on couch with feet elevated. Will be going back to my book after finishing this update.
Patience, patience.

Jeff, you better uncross those fingers for a bit to restore circulation...!!

In order to check on the status of my personal and physician appeal, I spent probably close to an hour with insurance and doctor's office this aftenoon. I was informed I will be getting a letter with the name and number of my 'grievance representative'. Great. I was able to get her number instead of waiting for it in the mail. I called her, and she answered the phone right away. After asking me if she contacted me first, I explained how I got her number. I think I must have stunned her--she said she was on a conference call and would have to call me back... Hmmm. Why am I not too optimistic about hearing back from her any time soon? I believe I did mention that I needed help asap. (Oh, is it standard practice to answer your phone during a conference call?...). It is just not looking too good for me to get any kind of authorization on this thing. I guess I would just as soon be told right now that the answer is "no" instead of jumping through all of these hoops first.
Sunshine today does help. Hope everyone else is doing ok, or at least better than I am!

I will be back on the horn tomorrow morning. The wound actually looks a little worse today, with some new drainage and new soreness--looks like a little infection starting up again. What are these 'powers that be' thinking anyhow??

I had a conference call yesterday with my grievance coordinator and the nurse person to review everything before they take it to THEIR manager for review to see if it qualifies for appeal. They do seem to be my advocates--I was a little cynical the first time I talked to my rep. That was not fair on my part. I am just getting so darn tired of all this. (Have you noticed?!).
In the meantime, I made a recheck appt. with the wound clinic for tomorrow morning, and my walker was delivered yesterday!! Woohoo!

I think you need one of those scooters and take it up a notch with a flame paint job and some mag wheels. Nothing more attractive than a woman with a nice ride!
Good luck with your ongoing appeal.
