cornerofmadnessMy insurance stopped paying here today. My surgeon's office calls to tell me my surgery is now 2 hours earlier and it's outpatient only. I explain you were told I have no transport then AND I have no where to go. I have to be admitted (my insurance won't allow it apparently). Talking to my brother ALL of his orthos ACL repairs are out patient only (Insurance needs burned to the ground and rebuilt starting with ceo salary caps)
By now I'm sobbing on the phone with the surgeon's people in the middle of a panic attack. I get the social worker here asap. They find me new transport (15$ per mile btw plus wheelchair rental. Literally 130$ to go THREE miles) We arrange for me to come back here and pay 400$ a day out of my pocket until the insurance agrees I can come back.
The only other option is if something happens postoperatively then I can be admitted which I knew because I have adverse reactions to anesthesia and I almost always get admitted. In the mean time I've packed up my stuff for storage. Can someone think good thoughts for me.
A possible hope. My brother is head PT at a big orthopedics clinic in Pittsburgh. He said a lot of time patients CAN weight bear after surgery of the type I'm having. If that's the case, maybe I can go home. That would be the best news I could have. Guess I'll see tomorrow I'm actually hoping for being too nauseous to leave the hospital especially if I can go weight bearing. That way I can spend the night at the hospital and then my family can get me the next day.
So seriously if you sent me something here, let me know. I know I'm looking for one more coloring book. Turns out it was the chair of my department and my friend (and her wife) who sent me the Jason Momoa coloring book.
