OK the fight is on....

ok so I went to the Insurance board and came acrossed another lady fighting with TriCare for the surgery approval. She got denied and has since been fighting them for some information on her appeal...ok....the other day she came back on saying that she had finally won her appeal...sweet for her right...lol I sent her a message tell her congrats and then asked how did she do it....she told me to call everyday 2+ times and then gave me another number....finally someone with information....so I just call them and they are like we will be checking into this for you and will be getting right back to you soon. And Dr. H is suppose to be calling them today sometime too...Damn now I have my hopes up again and I dont really think that I emotionally can take another denied. But if thats how it goes than so be it right.... I just feel so disconected from everyone here...but I feel like Im in the right place, seeing as you all have been through this. Anyway thats all for now....keep you posted

Cor, you are not disconnected from us! We love you and are rooting for you to get thru to whomever needs to hear it and get this procedure started! 

Alot of us had to jump thru alot of hoops to make it to the end results too, so dont give up!

We are all here for you girl! Are you coming on the 19th to Peggy's??? Sure hope so...cant wait to meet you. KEEP YOUR CHIN UP OKAY???? Let us know all you find out.

ok so just heard from TriCare...and guess what, they have NO Info on my BP meds and thats what is holding things up!!!!!!!!!!! Now Im PO'ed and could scream....so again I called down to Dr. H's and left a message for Margie to call medical director and hopefully get through to them sometime today......dang it to all h***!!!!
So here whats going on on the 19th, I wont be going because I have to work...tryed to switch things with another caretaker but she wont because of prior plans. So no I wont be going...This stinks you know...everything seems to be falling apart and I am emotionaly spent. Im sooooo tired of not feeling human and wanted in this life that there are some days that I feel like why am I even here. Anyway...Renee told me a while back that I can only have a pitty party at the begining of the month...sorry Renee mine is just one long one I guess...seems to be the story of my life anymore....So now you see why I dont post too much anymore, I just lurk...lol. Sorry for being a downer...I keep you all posted on what else happens...thanks for the support

Cor hope you will come to Peggys on the 19th so we can all give you some encouragement in person so you can see that all of us didnt just sign up and go to the hospital ...there are a lot of people that either had to jump thu hoops for their ins. or doctor or had to look far and wide to find a Doc....we all love you and are behind you one hundred percent....hope you are calling them every day now since the other girl told you too. we all still have you in our prayers... like i said please come to Peggys...

            DON'T QUIT

 

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Deb, that was a great poem! Way to go...Cor....read it again! You hang in there and read this whenever youre feeling down and dejected....

I sure wish you could come on the 19th cause You could use some hugs and encouragement. But just get on here and post so we can keep up with you and give you plenty of cyber hugs, ok?

I was sooooo hoping that you had amazing news to report, but you know what?  You found out some things that you didn't know yesterday!  You now have numbers and helpful hints and an idea what is causing the delay.  I know that doesn't seem like a lot but it is a step forward.  Do not give up!  You are worth this fight!  And there isn't a one of us here that believes you're not, cause you are!  Hang onto the hope, sweetie....if you get denied, you know perfectly well that we are going to urge you to appeal yet again.  We are behind you 100000 percent...we are praying, too.  The fact that you come on here and check on us (even tho you lurk) just proves that you care about us as much as we care about you.  So don't beat yourself up because you don't post.  You know perfectly well that one of us will ask where you are.  You just come out and let us love on you a little, there will come a time when this is all a distant memory and then you may be able to offer advice to someone else who is going thru what you are going thru now.  Until then, you hang in there and keep reminding us to pray for you and this situation.  Cause I believe that is what it's going to take to get you thru this battle.  Remember, you will win this war, so don't let the battle get you down!  You are loved, my friend.
Hugs,
Peggy

Yes you all are the best, that is sooooo true. I do lurk....man I dont like that word...because I do care and look at all of you as very close friends. Sometimes I think that maybe this was what was suppose to happen you know...I had always wished that I could have this done, but now I know that I wanted it then for all the wrong reasons. Now however I want it done for health and of course emotional reasons too. Im only 46 and feel like im 60...no disrespect intended to anyone please. So I guess that this is how things were suppose to happen...but on that same note....IT STINKS ya know....
Thanks Deb for the poem...I cried the hole time I was reading it but it really give you a sense of perspective...Did you get my message this morning?
Thanks again you all....I dont think TriCare has a chance in hell with you all helping me push down the DENIED doors...lol

I have tricare so I understand the fight. Keep your referral current .you can extend it yourself. I let mine run out before I saw Dr H and had to get a new one. Get a doctor to write a letter stating all of your health problems. Make sure they know how important it is. Just keep fighting and do not give up. If you get the right people at tricare they can be great. They actually called me today to see how I was doing.
