Whine, whine, whine....lol
Today has been a better day in regards to yesterdays crap anyway.
I caught a head cold though. Snot, congestion, slight fever so took some Nyquil at like 8am and promptly passed out until sometime around noon.
Not much else has been happening really.
I called and spoke to Sebastians attorney, things are moving again.
Why do people evade subpoenas? Why do they run from the law man? Don't they know that that is actually worse for their case then just coming forward and doing it the first time? Sheesh.
I have to call my disability attorney at 4 and get an update on my hearing. This is one long process but in the end, I know it will be in my favor because I was denied an out of area surgeon in Miami. Got the letter today. The 6th one.
I cannot go to Miami University hospital for them to even look at my back. That probably means I can't go to Shands or U of Florida either. They will not let an out of area doc look at me and no locals will touch my spine with a 100 foot pole so I'm slowly coming to terms with what will be my future.
I cried a little bit but I haven't given up hope yet. I am going to keep pressuring the insurance company for help and maybe even get a state rep or two involved if I get denied again.
Lifetime welfare benefits are only 5 years and with the disability hearing taking so long, I could easily go past the 5 year mark. They would have to continue to support me and I don't think they want to do that. That would require a state hearing wherein I could go and show the state court exactly how many times I and my doctors requested a surgeon and how many times it was denied. That wouldn't look very good now would it?
It's so funny to me sometimes how our governor and legislature would get involved and try to take custody of a comatose brain dead woman which would have cost the tax payers of this state millions of dollars over her lifetime for care yet they won't let me see a surgeon in Miami so that I could work again and be self sufficient. My surgery wouldn't cost nearly as much as that would have. Not even close, less than $60,000, yet I can't even go down there for an simple evaluation.
Don't you all find that a little odd?
It amazes me whose quality of life is considered more important.
Maybe I should email Jeb, tell him I'm a good Christian mom and beg for his help. Think that would work? 
So, on with my day.
Later days.

I've known for years that, when someone gets caught up in the system life becomes hell, but damn! Unfortunately, "the system" doesnt know the meaning to common sense.
And if you do write Jeb, don't forget to say you're a "Republican, church-going Christian". He'll make sure you get all that is needed.

Hahahahm yeah, I forgot to add the republican bit. I should throw in for good measure that if he runs for president, I'll vote for him. ;)

Good luck Kat, and give 'em hell. I really hope things start to go your way with this thing soon. I'll call Jeb this evening and let him know I am sorely displeased.

Jeb, maybe... doubt it... Oprah. Go for Oprah. (And actually, I say that seriously.) Shit, if she can give people cars because they write in to her and whine... wtf not a back operation?

I kept quiet on this because I didn't know what to say other than "I'm sorry" and "don't give up."
I still don't know what else to say, except that I love ya and I'm here.
