Default The good, the bad, and the MS

You know after 2 days of horrendous behavior that resulted in DD losing most of her toys... Dang if she didn't come home today with a student of the week award from school. I swear!

So that was my good... Now on to the bad... My bladder is officially not working. (We already knew this, but the doc confirmed it today). And he blames it on MS.

But while on my way there to meet with the doc I finally got a call from SSDI... You ready for this one? "We have all of your paperwork for your appeal, but we don't have an initial application on file from you." So how did I get a denial letter, file an appeal then be sent additional paperwork to fill out regarding my medical issues if I NEVER filed to begin with?!?!? An hour on the phone with these idiots and I get to go in on the 15th to talk to them, which ironically enough is the cut off date for them to make a decision.

And after getting home from the doc I make the mistake of checking the mail... where I am presented with a $2,000 bill from the tubal. Seems my insurance refuses to pay more than $16,000 for this surgery so I am stuck with the remaining balance. HA HA nice try guys, but I am not working and SSDI is refusing to do their job... so my income right now... zero!

I have discovered my body and my credit score seem to be deteriorate at approximately the same rate.

Have the hospital REBILL the insurance company. I find many times that does the trick. if nothing else, it buys you some time.

Hug the DD, and know that she just wants you to be warm at night. I love that she turned up the heat. She is clearly a smart cookie, and you are in for a run for your money. What a joy!

run for my money indeed. She is too smart for her own good sometimes.

And now she is folding all my towels I just washed in hopes of getting her ipod back.
