I'm Really Bummed
 
I was supposed to have my MRI today but the doctor didn't send the orders over until yesterday. I saw him on Friday. My insurance won't approve the test until tomorrow so we are trying to find another time.

I know some of you will think this is stupid but I'm having a "tightening" over the entire right side of my face. I'm not beautiful but I always get compliments on my smile. I can't smile. It makes me so sad.....sorry....just had to vent.

Im with you! I want the folks who are supposed to be setting this stuff up, to do it in a timely fashion, and not keep me waiting, and worried.

I hope you get your answers quick and your smile returns. :hug:

Hmmmm, is bells palsy a possibility? I had that once and your face looks and feels like you're having a stroke.

Good luck with the MRI, whenever they decide you may have it..:rolleyes:

:hug:

That sounds uncomfortable and scary. Hope it resolves ZAP! all on its own very quickly.

Yes, it does sound like Bells Palsy. I had that once and it was no fun.

NurseNancy 08-24-2011 06:00 PM

yes, that's crappy office mgmt.
if you get any other sx's consider the ER.

i hope this comes thru for you soon. keep checking about the approval daily.

Good news!
 
I got a call at 12.30 that insurance granted approval.
Apparently the lady felt bad after hearing my story and stayed on them until they got it done.

Not only that they got a vein for the contrast! I have horrible veins from Crohn's disease.

I have never been able to have a complete study before.


I LOVE this place

Thanks everyone for your kind words. My day deFinitey got better and you all were patt of that
