Going to try and see what happens

OK, I had some responses yesterday on my "at a stand still" post.  I have decided to take the suggestions and mail information to both the California Insurance Commission, and United Health Care.  I have been searching for the best approach on these letters of appeal.  I have learned that trusting my gut is the best way to go.  My gut tells me to spell things out calmly, factually, and stern but pleasantly. 

I would like to thank every one for all of the support that I find here, it supports my strength to fight for what I need. 

I have recently heard myself saying things that I thought I would never believe.  For example

I have to much I want to do and a lot to offer this world to die prematurely.  I am WORTH IT.

This coming from someone that felt insignificant, invisible, and unworthy of every breath that she took.  Tis a shame that it took so long (51yrs) to get this point but the journey
was necessary.


Well back to research and letter drafting.

Have a great week end all and I will post more maybe over the week end , if I have time.



Ciao

Lori,

do you have a copy of WLS for Dummies.  If not can you get a copy?  It has really really good ideas for appeal letters in it.

Hi Lori,

I am so glad that you are sending the letters to both.   Also before sending off the letters I would like to suggest that you check with insurance forum here on OH and they can give you great suggestions on how to draft those letters.   You can post any questions you may have and I am sure they will chime in with some great suggestions.

Here is the link!

You are worth it sweetie. Grab the bull by it's horns and go for it!

Hugs and have a wonderful weekend.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
