Anything exciting happen while I was gone??

FunnyG - just read about your insurance dialysis problem. I have Kaiser insurance. Call Kaiser and talk to them about it, make them work to find someone that can do it during non-working hours. Get upset if you have to!! If that doesn't work call customer service and tell them you would like to file a ADA discrimination legal complaint, that usually makes them jump. So far it works like a charm with me. I get anything I want from them! When I wanted my MRI my oncologist said that I didn't meet all the criteria for high risk breast cancer, so they wouldn't cover it. I looked at him and said "please don't make me file an ADA complaint with the legal department". He promptly looked at me, laughed and said "Those are the magic words, your referral will be entered into our computer today".

Welcome back Alison!
We missed you !


Sounds like you had a grea time.. well except for the Gecko. ewwwwwwwwwww

Looked a bit online, not sure why the doc thinks they don't cover home hemo.. from what I read they do cover it and have partnered with a program to encourage up to 30% of their patients to use home hemo.

Maybe it's more of a problem in our area?

We think his HR benefit dept screwed something up, insurance was to start September 1st, says so when I look at his benefits online.. it's now the 12th and we don't have cards.
Even if the family coverage doesn't start until later, hubby still should have recvd coverage from their default plan (Blue Cross).
Hubby is going to benefits dept to figure it out today. Dialysis hasn't sent us a bill, yet... we shall see how that plays out. They may be just accepting Medicare payment and waived the copays for now.. then again he had that emergency room stay.. haven't got a bill and that was weeks ago.

Bernice, I was just catching up on all the medical issues. That stinks, I can't believe you just keep having problem after problem with this stuff.

Alison, Welcome home!! Glad you had a great time, Way to go on raising the money, and I agree, that's a horrifying lizard story and I would have been scarred for life!!

Uh-oh... Whats going on?

 

[funnygarcia]

yes, inquiring minds want to know.. hey Staley!

 

[staley7580]

Hey Alison... I just have to say..

 

[MATTERHORN]

Lauren will not be coming with me on the trip at the end of October!! I am so so bummed. This is the unthinkable part....

I FINALLY agreed to let my mom take her to.......WDW in October. I have been stressing about this for months. I really really really wanted any of our first times at WDW for me and the kids to be together. I wanted to experience it with them, all the details, all the differences. It was my dream for many years now that just kept being postponed.

Well now she's going, tickets are booked so I can't change my mind, and that's that!! I am so so upset. When we finally go, it won't be new for her. It'll be old hat. I won't hear her shock when she realizes Pirates is different than the one here. I won't see her reaction the first time she goes on Expedition Everest. I won't face the first time she sees the HUGE castle!!

Okay, I am in shock here people!! This isn't happening, this isn't happening. I can't believe I caved. I know it sounds silly, like compared to my real life this definitely is NOT a problem, but I am sad. It's so hard. But I know that if I had been offered a trip as a kid and my mom hadn't let me go, I would probably have to kill her now. So I am taking the hit so my baby girl can go have fun and experience "the world" without her Mom.

Awww... It will be okay!

 

[MATTERHORN]

awwwww, I totally understand.

Thanks! I know it seems trivial with my home life in shambles, but it's just one more thing to be depressed about. I am happy for her deep down, really I am, of course I want more for my kids than I had. But it will be so hard to talk with her about it when she gets back.

Andrea

 

[MATTERHORN]

Awww... It will be okay!

Hey, 8,000 lady!! Way to go!

Andrea

 

[MATTERHORN]

Andrea
