I had some nice news yesterday not at all related to health -- well, somewhat.
My appeal was accepted! BCBS HMO will pay the $8,000 to the surgery center for the removal of the pin. I feel like I just had Christmas!
Now it's on to the next big medical financial challenge. I also got in the mail an acknowledgment that benefits will be paid for my admission to the hospital for three days -- huh? I've been here twelve days already! Why did I get that kind of a notice without even being discharged yet?
Guess I'll wait and see.
I continue to feel better and I am so very hopeful that I will be dismissed on Tuesday after the observation period is over.
After that I will be committed to housebound (visiting nurse) care for ten days while I continue to get anitbiotics. Then the surgery can be scheduled weeks after that. It would be so much better than a bigger, more complicated surgery now.
There is a lot of work I can do from home once I get there, so I may not have to take medical leave. Just a whole lot of sick time!
Nice news

Look after yourself when you get home.
