  • 3 weeks till surgery...

    Man, I am a nervous wreck, In 3 weeks I'll go in for the transplant, and feel so many emotions. Happy, scared, over whelmed by all the paperwork, worried about the cost of the medication... Just so much going on, and feel like I am fucking something up and will get denied for short term disability, or our new prescription insurance will fuck me over some how... My pre-transplant coordinator is about as useful as tits on a boar hog, she never replies with info and I have deadlines to file the paperwork. Tomorrow I am physically driving to her office so she can fill it out while I wait...

    Da fuq... I'd expect better responses unless you're going govt. healthcare route?

      No govt. insurance or workers involved. It is Baylor's cancer hospital, and Dallas Nephrology doing the transplant.
      Our stupid insurance for RX's only changed at work on Jan 1st, so fighting with them on why things are not covered, when they were before. MetLife for short term disability thru work. At least I get 6 weeks paid time off if I need that much, then 7 weeks at 60% pay if I need to stay off work longer. This whole process is a PITA!

              If you wake up in a tub full of ice and not remembering the past. Than congratulations everything went successfully 6 months ago and your celebrating went just a little too far.

              Relax do some meditating as ask some candy stripper for a sponge bath

                  Dont be nervous! Kidney transplants are the best transplants you can have. Success rate is the highest!

                    Best wishes for a smooth recovery, and meanwhile hang tough like you're already doing with the new insurance carrier.

                      If your doctor can give a good reason to have you short term covered by your insurance. You can have your insurance send your doctor send paperwork for the doctor to fill out. Hope that helps

                        Worrying's like a rocking chair Rob, gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere. Deal with the side-steps as they come, but not until they come, pre-suffering is about as useful as tits on a boar hog.
