I know it's been a while... I guess that's what happens when you can actually get out and LIVE. I went the other day to Salvation Army to drop off a few bags of clothes... 2x and 3x shirts, 46 and 48 waist pants.... while I was there, I picked ...

Well, guess it's been a couple weeks since an update. Long story short, I won the appeal through external review, and they agreed to cover the DS. and here I am... 2 days away from a major life changing experience. Scared? no.... excited? yes... nervous? a little. morbid (or strange) as this may seem, ...

10/23/06 - do they really NEED to be famous?

Sun, 22 Oct 2006 13:30:00 -0700

well, I opened up my can-o-worms the other day by posting that someone was concerned that they've never heard of my surgeon. Does fame and/or popularity really make for a better ANYTHING? I personally know several guitarists who are many times more proficient than any famous guitarist you can think ...

Well, my insurance company received all the paperwork last Friday... it is now Thursday. Yeah, I know, that's only like 4 business days. I used to read posts and blogs of people who were anxious to find out, and would think to myself "Jeez, it's only been a week (or whatever ...

This particular post has special meaning, which is why I made it seperate from the other 10/16 post. just the other day, I received a message from a concerned person about my choice of surgeon. The fact that I am having DS, and the OH listing for my surgeon shows him ...

10/16/06 - not much

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 12:15:00 -0700

still to early for anything exciting to have happened. One good thing though... I was bored this afternoon, so I called my insurance co. just to verify that they have received all the paperwork from my surgeon. They confirmed at least the fact that they had received the correct NUMBER of ...
