Finally
As of this morning, I am officially insured. For real. Really. No last-minute hiccups, no lost paperwork at the insurance company, no failure for the employer to file, no oops-we-gave-you-the-wrong-number. I have health insurance again.
I have a PCP, who is awesome and who agreed to see me *today* as a new patient. He has referred me back to my own neurosurgeon instead of demanding that I restart the process with the office's Preferred Provider. He has also agreed to support my disability claim, and has made some suggestions for ways that I can eat and sleep while waiting for the procedure (two things that I really haven't been doing for the past few weeks).
It seems like there's a chance this might all work out. I've worked so hard at not getting my hopes up, but... fingers crossed, knock wood, I might maybe actually have a chance to get better....
