Good morning Snappy & everyone...

I hope the dental appt. goes well for your DH today and the blood work comes back an A+....

Have a great day

Good morning to all of you.
I got a call from the doctor today. Our insurance won't pay for hubby to have his biopsy where it is scheduled,so the date and time I gave you is cancelled.:( We have to go there and get the MRI film and take it to the hospital where he can have it done, and then wait for them to analyze it and contact ua with a new biopsy date. Disappointing on one hand, but, we don't know everything, so maybe it's better for him to have it done where the insurance will pay. This is a hospital we have both been in many times. So we are familiar with where things are, etc. Just more delay. Wanted all our dear friends out there in cyper space to know about the change,
and when I get a new date scheduled, I'll update you. In the meanwhile, thank you for your continued expressions of concern. You are dear to me.

snappygrandma,

I have been following your husband's illness and wanted you to know that I wish you both good wishes for his recovery.

Your post recounting how the insurance company is denying coverage for his biopsy is just another example of the greed that exists in the insurance system. Denials are just to give them more profits and you two have to suffer the pain and anxiety of waiting until it can be rescheduled.

Your story and millions of others happen every day and it is immoral, IMO. For those who think that insurance companies shouldn't be held accountable for their practices, think of snappygrandma's husband.

Thank you to all who have posted here today. Your expressions of concern and assurances of prayer are a tremendous encouragement to me. JELLYBEANN (love your nic), we are on medicare. Our insurance card plainly says where we are to go for hospital care. When the office manager at the oncologists office first told me that hubby was to have the test done at a different hospital, she said that was where the insurance company wanted him to go. I really wondered about it then, but thought maybe our usual hospital didn't do this biopsy. So, when we were called this morning, it was just surprising, and inconvenient, as someone had to go to the original facility which had the film of his MRI, and then take it to the other facility. We have to allow an hour to get to either of these facilities. One of our daughters got the film. It's here, and we will get it to the other place in the next couple of days. We are okay with it. The claim was never denied, just misdirected somehow.

We just got home an hour and a half ago from the dental oncologist. They couldn't find a reason for the sensitivity hubby has in one of his teeth. They did some things that might help him, and gave me the film of the tooth in case he needs root canal. If he isn't better in a week or two, we will have to pursue that. The only thing he says, is "it's no fun getting old!"
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to come here and share with people who I believe absolutely care about us. I feel like there's a limit to what I want to burden my children with, as they are emotionally involved themselves. I get to see my optholmologist tomorrow. I have very dry eyes, so am looking forward to it.
Blessings on all of you. Nobody could have a better group of friends. Hoping you have a wonderful night.

Oh, Raeli right back atcha, many times over.

Snappy, my prayers continue for your
dh and you, too. Hang in there.

Snappy,All of that makes sense and hope you get some good rest this weekend.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MR. & MRS. SNAPPYG!

Hello all. Here I am, finally, home from the eye doc and fed. My eyes are super dry. One of the plugs in the tear duct has fallen out, so he is having new ones made, and adding them to the upper ducts. That will be in about 2 weeks.
ladycat, thank you for your prayers!
raeli, appreciate your anniversary wishes
jeannelien, thank you for your prayers and anniversary wishes
MsLomo, appreciate your good wishes also
BASSETBABE, thank you for caring. Don't know what games will be on. If USC or UCLA are, we will watch them.
there's NASCAR on Sunday. There are also probably pro games, though we don't have a team in the NFL.
MONK is on tonight. And Numb3rs, which I like.
One of our girls will take the film to the hospital tomorrow. They know it could wait until Monday, but want to get it done. We are blessed, indeed. Hope all of you and anyone I forgot (shame on me), have a wonderful evening.
