Today was a bad day

My day was going good today until my surgeons coordinator called and said she needed my psychology eval or I couldn't go pre-register tomorrow. So I called my pcp to see if maybe he sent it to him on accident and they said nope. Then I tried calling the psychologist himself and all I got was his machine. At that moment I wanted to and I was . So we were planning to rent a car so I could go pre-register so we did and hit the highway to go to the psychologist's office. And he wasn't there. So then my bf and I started to . Because I was so frustrated I wanted to quit. My bf went to my pcp's office and explained everything to them and they went through my file again and no letter. SO I called the coordinator and explained to her I have called this man all day and even drove 35 miles to office and no answer. And I asked her do I have to reschedule my surgery and she said no. And I asked her about pre register and she said to still pre register tomorrow. So my bf finally came out and my pcp's office said they will try to get a hold of the psychologist. For a moment all my dreams felt as though they had ended. I need this surgery so I am going to be calling the psychologist blowing up his answering machine until he gets the paperwork to the surgeon. Ok I just needed to vent.

Hey Tasha, I can image how you feel. I'm sorry you had a rough day but everything will work out. Just think your day will be before you know it! Things will work out you'll see.

I know what you are going through...you will have the surgery don't worry...just keep after the psych doctors office until they can fax your papers over.

I totally understand Tasha, I went through insurance / pre-approval hell myself for over 2 months. I got a letter from my benefits office yesterday that said that I am approved for the approximate 3 weeks off but with NO PAY, I had thought I would be getting Short Term Disability that would offer me 60% pay. 2 weeks of no pay to me will be devastating. I am single and my income is all we have. Sue 273/260//?150 T-15 days & counting

Sue .... Why no pay? Why isnt your STD kicking in? Deb

They are giving me a bit of static saying that STD is for medically necessary / non elective surgeries only. I told them that I have a letter of medical necessity from the insurance company so therefore, it is medically necessary. I also mentioned to them that childbirth is elective and they cover it on STD. Waiting to hear an updated answer now. Sue 273/260/?/150 T-15 days & counting

Tasha I can totally understand what you are feeling. I've had my share of that since I've begun this journey. But in the long run everything has turned out well for me, so far so good. I have one more appt. my 1 on 1 with my surgeon and then off to pre-admission the same day. Once I've done that then I'll feel 100% relaxed, this way I know for sure that I will be having my surgery on the 6th of July. In other words you really can't do to much except wait. So vent all you want until you know for sure, I'll listen Cheri
