Oh if only, Mark! But that would have to mean that they would be acknowledging my answers just 6 months ago would be the same as they are today, and that is too radical of an idea

Interestingly, after talking to my insurance company yesterday I found out that they don't require psych evaluations for SCS's. Their words were that it would be like telling doctors how to practice and they would never do that. Hmmm... because this company is very common in my area, and I would think the hospital would have known this. Well, a call then to the pain center is in order for Monday to see if it really is a requirement of theirs instead disguised as an insurance requirement or if it is a process I can bypass. Hopeful for the bypass option because the only available appointment the psychologist has will be cutting it very close to make it back for a final exam.
