Dear So and So

When is still to be determined, it has to be done under sedation and apparently under some kind of x-ray machine where they can see the needle is going into the right place. This may well have to wait until January as I am sure the co-pay for this will be high. I am, however, looking into it.



My doc isn't sending me to PT because he doesn't think it would work any more than what I am already doing. He did recommend a home traction thingee, but I need to find one (and hopefully can afford it). It sounds like a simple device... He did give me some neck rehab exercises. I had a hour long massage this afternoon at his advice, and it was lovely. Not the most comfortable in certain places, but just wonderful!

Remember that come January, you'll have to first meet your deductible before insurance will pay anything. Whether and what the co-pay (or co-insurance) is may be irrelevant, depending on how high your deductible is. Good luck figuring this part of the situation out.

As for your mother, I am so sorry. I hope this second surgery is the last and that she finally gets to go home soon.

True, but at least I would be able to use my flexible spending account...but I just need to figure this out. My dr. says sooner is better than later so this doesn't become chronic.

Poor mom, I think she is starting to believe that she isn't going to go home...and that doesn't help the situation. This is about as stressful for her as it ever gets for anyone I think
