Insurance again denied LSB. This time for no failed PT and no failed analgesics. PM office is of no help...they asked me to contact my insurance. Today, official appeals were filed with insurance.

PM and I have been emailing back and forth for the past couple days. Appears to be a medrol dose pack on the horizon.

Vocational Rehab has decided to close my case as I am not able to work at this time ()

I have taken a few steps to help improve my sour mood...one of which is tutoring/studying with other students in the nursing program I am currently unable to finish. So far everything has been received well and I'm excited moving forward with it!

I have also contacted Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. I have an appointment next week. I also followed up on my GI referral and have an appointment early Sept.

Moving forward...
