Finally Back Home

Things ran very far behind today for a variety of reasons. One of which being they decided we have to pay a lot more upfront than we have been each month as insurance is taking longer and longer to process payments while attempting to cut back on what they will cover and and arguing bills. I don't think this is a coincidence. I have no doubt these problems have been caused by Wal-Mart termianting her unpaid medical leave and Atnea handling  her COBRA coverage.

Sandi's blood work is not any worse than it was last week so the decision was made to go ahead and start with the first round of immunizations. Her immunizations are way late, but the delays have been caused because of the fragility of her immune system and everything that goes along with that. She received six injections for that. They also want to add another drug for her lung function deal and since it is very expensive that has to approved first by insurance.

Assuming nothing bad happens, we go back in two weeks for more blood work and a doctor visit.

Their purpose is to wear you down when you are at your most vulnerable. We saw it with our daughter when she was warned—as she lay dying, a little over a year ago—that she should go home, because her lifetime amount of in-hospital treatment that would be covered by Medicare was about to expire. She was told by the hospital social worker that she should save that time for when she really needed to be in the hospital. I can't think about it without crying my heart out, but I want you to know that a lot of us understand. I pity the the fringes who think they are safe with their insurance, because they have yet to learn. Love to you and Sandi and all my unknown friends who are going through this right now.
