Open Letter to Those I Hold Dear
Alright. Hello, All!
I have, since my accident:
-been to see Dr. Fambrough twice and scheduled my surgery for Wednesday, 17 October 2007. (diagnosis: Recurrent dislocation of right shoulder...Hill-Sachs lesion at superior/posterior humeral head... anterior labral tear... subscapularis tendinosis--for all you medschool nerds). The surgery will be arthroscopic unless the good Doctor gets in and sees something he doesn't like, in which case he will open me up and keep me overnight.
-put on a great choir concert with Nana and Papa in the Master Chorale at Temple B'nai Shalom!
-scheduled an appointment to get my pre-admission labwork done, tomorrow (Friday, 5 October 2007).
-discovered that there is no mail-order Rx coverage with the BCBS plan I am under.
-found two programs that will allow me to get my medicine should I lose my health insurance.
-been assured by my boss that I will not lose my job because of the surgery (whew).
-ordered and received a copy of my accident report and filled out the accompanying form (although I'm not entirely sure I need to--better safe than sorry).
-received a bill for the ambulance and filled out the insurance information accompanying it (maybe I won't have to pay all of it)
-ordered another copy of "proof of creditable coverage" from United Healthcare to mail to BCBS.
And, perhaps Most Importantly...
-come to appreciate my friends family even more than I already did, most notably Nana and Papa: you guys have kept me sane through all of this--I don't know how I'd have done it without you! I love you both--and ALL of you--SO MUCH.
Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. And pull my head together. Thanks to everyone who has expressed concern or offered assistance to me in this stressful time--it means a lot to me.
Lots of love--Mikki
