what happend to TGIF???!!!!?????

Well what started out as a good day has turned ugly! The doctors office called as we were about to leave to cancel my appt.-- next opening is July !!! They are going to try to get me in sooner. We ran a couple errands but then they weather started to get ugly so came home. Missed my call from my case manager so had to leave her a message. The found out my Insurance is not going to pay my $14,000 hospital bill for December for the spinal fusion that did not happen because I didn't fit on the table.  The hospital says I have to pay it, Oh yeah! Like  have $14 grand sitting around. haven't worked in 5 yrs.  Wonder if they'll take $10 a month!! anyway, called my daughter to ask her help in writing an appeal letter to BC/BS and she blew me off.  Right now I'd love to eat a gallon of Ice Cream and top it off with A BIG bag of Chips. But  I'm too sick to my stomach to even try eating anything. I guess that is a blessing in itself.  I haven't eaten anything since early am so I know I need to but am afraid if I start 'll not stop..... Thanks for letting me blow off steam.   Paulette Oh did I say I got turned down for SS yesterday.....

ouch.....sending hugs cuz that's all i have to offer.....

Thanks Margo, I appreciate it! Paulette

Just when you think things can't get any worse...POW!!! It is sure raining on your parade!! I hope you get it all straightened out. Can't do much over the weekend so sit back and relax !! Prayers and good wishes coming your way!! Hugs, connie d

Thanks Connie,  My hubby made me a bowl of Minestrone soup, so that took care of the pit in my stomach. I actually feel better after eating it. I'm going to end my pity party by being constructive. I left a message for my surgeon to see if he can help with the hospital. Monday I'll write a letter of appeal to the insurance company and I called the hospital and asked for a complete audit of the bill.  My hubby suggested that tomorrow we just take the day and go somewhere to relax, sounds really good.  We have been working so hard on the remodel of our MB.  I have to trust that all will work out ok and not sabotage my food plan. I appreciate  the prayers and good wishes. Paulette

Boy, I can share your pain, but on a much smaller financial schedule. Wish I could help you, but I'm in Chap. 13 bankruptcy and will be for another two years probably. Here's a cyberhug coming your way; sometimes life isn't fair at all, and insurance companies sure do make it worse. Your hubby sounds like a good guy, taking care of you. My cats do the same for me, but they don't make me soup, they just shed and purr. Hang in there, things hopefully will turn around.

Thanks Eileen, the  hugs help! Paulette

^&@#$%*&#%$ There I said it for you.. .. You can look at this situation as a hurdle to help you overcome your eating for comfort. ( yeah right, like I do ) Your husband was wonderful for fixing the soup. Best wishes for getting the Insurance to pay up. Millie

Hi Millie, you hit it on the nail head. I do eat for comfort and when stressed so I need to learn how not to turn to food.  I did ok today anyway. Ate more than I usually do but am  still (just )under my calorie and carb limit. Thank youm, Paulette

Oh Hon.. That IS a crumby day !!! It was so bad there is nowhere to go but up.. Hang in there, one day at a time..hugggsssss
