I think it is resolved now, fingers crossed. Part of this process (and the reason for the tongue-in-cheek title of this blog) is that I don't know *what* I don't know. I'm reinventing the wheel here and figuring it out as I go along, learning more than I ever wanted to know about all of this stuff. All of the advice and suggestions are very helpful, truly. Thank you so much! Still, good thing I have anti-anxiety medication on hand!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843280160505440822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-3217954786926059082010-10-08T20:10:43.865-05:002010-10-08T20:10:43.865-05:00Michael - please let me know if I can help make an...Michael - please let me know if I can help make any phone calls FOR you or bug people for you.

Since this was a clear, and very grave, screwup by some entity, and not just this one person,there must be a make-good remedy, and not just, "Gee, I'm so sorry." Unless of course the advisor who gave you the bum steer was some sort of freelancer, which I strongly doubt. <br /><br />--DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-68721913911716350132010-10-08T00:25:24.106-05:002010-10-08T00:25:24.106-05:00I don't believe it.

You need more information and better advice.<br /><br />FYI: I think you have a letter in your files that you received after the U of M surgery that says you have exhausted your inpatient benefits. It might be enough evidence.<br /><br />Try to salvage some peace and quiet and quality time with J. this weekend. We'll get through this. You are not alone.<br /><br />Love, MomEclector2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02388402098315119840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-9546603673412909402010-10-07T22:24:53.395-05:002010-10-07T22:24:53.395-05:00So what is the retail cost of the surgery?So what is the retail cost of the surgery?Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06045457110736763954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-13204302579493365172010-10-07T22:04:35.533-05:002010-10-07T22:04:35.533-05:00This makes me feel sick.

I'd be willing to do that for you if you want me to. I got very good at getting in touch with elected officials in NV when I was helping my mom. Here in MN we have a much better system of care. Just let me know.<br /><br />Mary RoheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
