Appointments, Appointments, APPOINTMENTS!


This week is crazy. I have to call 6 of E's specialists to schedule follow-ups. (She sees about 10 and has follow ups every 4-6 months with each of them) I've gotten 2 of those calls done so far. I also have to fight/dispute a $16,000 bill for a chest PT vest that insurance is refusing to help with at all because E doesn't have cystic fibrosis. We have appealed it twice and it's still being denied... apparently 2 hospitalizations for respiratory illness since having the vest, compared to 5-10/year prior to the vest, isn't a good enough reason for them to cover it at least partially. Frustrating, but we have a fight like this every month or so. (for different therapies, specialists, equipment, medical supplies etc... it never ends)

Tomorrow, we have to be in Boston (about 55 miles from us) for an 8am ortho appointment for E, which with traffic, means leaving at 6am. Then I have my post op appointment at 2:30pm.

Thursday should be quiet, aside from E's regular physical therapy and occupational therapy appointments. And FRIDAY I get to sit down with RE to figure out our plan for next cycle. THIS appointment I'm excited for! She has mentioned Clomid (my lining thinned on it by my 4th cycle but the first few, everything was great.) since I have been off of it for months and my lining is nice and thick, trigger and our first IUI. So we will talk about it more and schedule my nurse visit to go over everything for the trigger. I love having a plan. Now big cysts... stay the eff away!
