This Is How We Do It!

Well, I managed to get in touch with the neurologists assistant and he had me fax the disability form over there. Also, spoke with the insurance person at the doc's office and am just waiting on the doctor to get her the clinical notes so she could call the insurance company. So, hopefully, she got those notes yesterday like she thought she would and she was able to call them. Maybe my insurance won't drag ass on this and they can get the MRI scheduled soon. And all this other testing can get underway quickly.

Once I have the MRI...then I can get on to the in depth testing to determine just exactly what is going on and find out what type of Lupus I have...if that's what it is. I still think FM...but that's just my opinion! And what would a "lay person" know about health care issues and diagnoses and such like that anyway? HaHa...alot more than they think! I, like my Mama, am a deep researcher. That's why I know so much about my symptoms and can tell the doctor just what is going on in such terms that a "lay person" shouldn't know!!! Anyway...

I was asked to submit a "letter" to my boss requesting I go out on short term medical leave/disability. Well, I can understand that's to cover his ass...but I made sure with that letter that MY ass is also covered. Like, that my benefits are continued while I am OUT on leave. He told me that he was fine with the letter, but that he had to basically get that "approved" by the big man, the one that owns the company. I'm hoping by Monday (Tuesday at the latest) I will know what the "big man" said and whether or not it's "approved".

I also checked with my insurance company if my benefits could be "terminated" while I was out..and according to them, the way my benefits are, I should be fine and my benefits should NOT be terminated. So, that tells me that if the "big man" decides to terminate my benefits while I'm out...that he went against the policy and well, I can take legal action against him for it. And believe me...I will!! I will SOMEHOW come up with the money to do so! So if that happens...don't be surprised if I begin asking for donations for the Brat Legal Fund! HaHa!!

Anyway, I think I'm getting a sinus infection...yuck! So, that's all for now...will update more later.
