Title: Updates (The Good and the Bad)
Post by Tiannia on Aug 30^th, 2004, 4:49pm

Lets start with the good.

Shaun started his new job today. It was a little less money, but enough that we can pay the bills and feel comfortable. Thanks to everyone who sent up energy for that. It takes a lot of stress off my shoulders.

Potentially good.
I have gotten together a ton of info and our ins rep is going to be presenting my case to the HMO to see if we cant get my insurance reinstated. I got a letter from Shauns old work stating that he was terminated and did not leave by his choice. I also got a letter from my work and day care with a letter explaining why we would be unable to pay the COBRA payments thru Dec when regular eligability is available. Our rep, thinks that we have a really good case.

Bad.
As I posted in another thread, I think the Beast is chewing though Trex. 4 times this weekend Imitrex would not abourt my HA. Twice with NS and twice with injections. Granted I was not using a full shot (1/3 to 1/2 by using the tip to the side) but I am trying to ration what I have (via angel surprize packages are a wonderfu thing) in case the Insurance thing does not go my way. I am not on any preventatvies atm. So trex is my only option. So I can only hope that this was a fluke thing and that trex will work again. But it really scares the shit out of me to think that the one abourt I have availiable to me might be failing me.

Worse.
On top of it, my HA are ramping up in frequency again. I know, a year stright and no 30 day break is chronic, but they still go down to a 1-2 to 9 K8+ a day (was my worst). At this point I am at about 4 K8+ right now. I am used to the shadows and can deal with the K5's and such. Hell I can even deal with the sweats, I've gotten used to people looking at me weird, when people are wearing sweaters inside cause the AC is turned down to 65 and I am pouring sweat. I am just hoping that this is a top point for me right now and that I am not only half way up a really fucking nasty ass mountain.

PF Wishes, my Friends. Am still here and posting here and there, but you are all in my thoughts.

Blessed Be-
-Tia

Thanks guys.

I should have an answer tomorrow on the Insurance. She said that she felt it went well, They where going to review the documents and the ongoing medical treatments that we (as a family) need. She was told she would have an answer by noon. and if it was good, then we would be active as of Sept 1st and they wouldnot consider Aug as a lapse of coverage, becuase we where working onthis all month. So that at least sounds promising. I will keep you all posted.

Shaun liked his new job, so that is a bonus. He will eb putting in a lot of OT but at least now he is NOT salary and will get paid for it. And I can cut back on my hours. that will help too. Less stress.

Night all,
-Tia
