As Genesis sings, "That's all"

Just as I thought it was going alright, I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right, always the same, its just a shame, that's all

 

As I was on my merry way to do my hospital preadmissions the phone rang. Insurance decided to throw a curve ball 3 weeks prior to surgery. Now they want 6 months of documented medical weight loss, which wouldn't be so bad if my insurance wasn't going to be up before then. My insurance is linked to unemployment, which I am not most likely not going to have for June +. I can't apply for state insurance, because I already have insurance.. I'm just stuck.

 

Get a new job? Yes I know, and then expect that I can take a couple weeks off once I have insurance there? That's probably another year, and then get told that I have to dance through 10+ doctor appointments again. I've noted to myself several times during this that I wouldn't have been able to do all these appointments with my previous places of employment.

 

Still, I get to drive out to Burlington tomorrow to meet with a surgeon to discuss a surgery that he'll probably never do & see a nutritionist to discuss a post op diet that I probably won't be need to be following. Still, the was the last of my requirements.. so I'm going to see that through. Maybe it will help some time in the future.

 

In the meanwhile, I'm going to try my best to keep on the wagon best I can. I'm very goal oriented, but it requires outside checkpoints. I'm just going to work on what I can & hope that I don't become "weak" like before.

I am so sorry for the bad news you got today. Maybe you can appeal and they will change their decision, it is worth a try.
