MS Awareness Month day 22

There really are not enough. I’m in a pretty dark place right now I’ve never been afraid of not being able to get out of it. But my problems at this time start with MS and of course that disgusting corporation Independence Blue Cross. I am very angry right now… SOOO angry. They are literally killing me right now by not allowing me the medical necessity rehab and the ability to get to my doctors. How do you people that are bedridden get to their doctors. I know, they go broke trying to pay for it on their own, Because Independence Blue Cross won’t. I’ve barely able to wake up the past few days because the fatigue from the stress and the depression is taking over right now. Fuck Independence Blue Cross fuck, the people that work for them that deny life-saving care just a big fuck you! I really hope Karma finds every last one of you and does her thing. Because you truly deserve what’s coming to you. I’m sorry but to work for a corporation where consciously know that you will be denying people life-saving care, you already have something fucked up in your make up. Because I know I could never work in a place like that, so yes, you’re already fucked up in the head. So sorry if this hurt anyone’s feelings… bahahaha no I’m not! I only speak the truth.

I’m sorry it’s a little dark today, but I can barely keep my eyes open and when they do open the tears just stream down my face. I’m angry and I’m broken and no one gives a fuck.

But no matter how I feel always, have courage and be kind. 🖤

Being a shut in is nothing new for many of us…

Tracy5 Comments

With everybody freaking out about being quarantined to their homes and not being able to go out to dinner, go shopping, etc.… This is nothing new for some of us. I’m not sure how to feel about it. It’s actually quite depressing. So for everyone whose lives are being up-ended over this, please get over yourselves. For some of us it’s life as usual.

Buuuuut… I get it, it’s hard. Really I’m sorry that by doing this you’re protecting the elderly and those people with chronic illness and autoimmune disorders. I completely understand that it’s affecting your life. And I’m sorry that people like me have to take extra precautions.  I mean seriously, bless your little hearts. But, again, get over your damn selves and just deal with it. 😏

Have courage and be kind.

The Fabulous Insurance Saga Continues …

TracyLeave a comment

I would love to say that Independence Blue Cross is actually ‘working’ for me and that we have gotten my non-emergent transport taken care of. Unfortunately that’s not the case. I’ve actually been to a couple appointments using the non-emergent transport. Sadly I see future problems with this. When I called to get the pre-certification for transport I was told I wasn’t the one that should be calling 😳⁉️ I was informed that my doctor needs to call every and explain that I’m bedridden thus needing the gurney transport. Are they fucking kidding me? My doctor has to stop his practice to contact this ridiculous company to tell them that I am in fact, bedridden and need this service. Again, are they fucking kidding me? So I put a call in to Jason to see what we could do about this. We spoke for a couple days as he was trying to find out the correct information for me regarding pre-certification. On March 6 I was told he would call me back on Monday, March 9 and let me know how I go about it. My doctors appointment was for March 13 and he never called me back during that week. 🤔 My appointment at my doctors was on Friday the 13th. I was not going to cancel my appointment, so I went ahead and got my transport and will definitely be billing them for that trip as well. The total now out of my pocket thanks to no help from my insurance company, is $940. 

Should I have called him and asked why he wasn’t calling me back? That’s a big no. When someone tells me they’re going call me back, that’s what they’re supposed to do. I’m shocked at the incompetence of Independence Blue Cross and they are rent-a-docs and their employees. The worst part about all of this is it’s seriously is fucking with my health. I know I sound like a broken record, but without rehab I have nothing. I think it’s finally time I either, shit or get off the toilet… I know that analogy is not the best but 😂 I really am not over exaggerating when I say this is life or death for me. I think maybe it’s time I go public. I think it’s time I show people what companies like Independence Blue Cross do to people who truly need their help. I think it’s time I take back my life, adjust my crown, and remind people who the hell they’re dealing with.

I know this blog is kind of all over the place but I really feel like I’m losing my mind. I know I’ve said this before but I really feel like I’m on an episode of punked. Real life really is stranger than fiction. I just want to get better. I just need the proper medical help that my doctors feel I should have. Sadly no one gets it until they get it and the way these people are making me feel, I hope they do get it. 🤭 I really don’t like feeling that way but I do believe that for every person that is keeping life-saving medical care from me, because they’re putting money first, Karma will be introducing herself at some point. Good luck! 

Have courage and be kind.

Oooo Ooo Memories

TracyLeave a comment

Another Facebook memory popped up. Wow… I was working so hard, and for what? Independence Blue Cross kicked me out after 30 days. At that time I’ve been bedridden for over 4 years. Did they really think it would be that quick? Their doctors truly are incompetent if they don’t understand what happens to a person’s body that’s been bedridden. They obviously don’t because they denied me life-saving care. And again when I say life-saving care, I’m not over exaggerating. At this point I’ve been in this bed over six years. I’m not going to spend another 6 years in this bed. And whatever happens, it is totally on them. Good or bad…

AnyWho… On to the memory:

Hello to all my amazing friends. I’m asking yet again for your help. Tomorrow is the big day when we find out if insurance will give me another week. Please keep me in your thoughts, blessings, prayers, cross your fingers and anything else you may do. I’m trying to keep positive and send out good thoughts to the Universe.🤞🏻

I’ve made some excellent strides in the past two weeks. While I can sit up unattended by myself, and my legs and arms have gotten back some movement, I still need to be able to transfer on my own before I go home. I’m still not able to get up into the sitting position by myself and I still cannot hold my weight on my legs. It’s like they’re explaining to me, I was completely bedridden for four years. It’s not going to change overnight and I have to keep positive thoughts for a good outcome.

I’m one of those people that wants it done like yesterday. 😜 Type A personality all the way.

So send me some good juju and hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some good news! 🧡 No matter what happens I will continue to fight the MonSter that is MS.

A little sidenote, if there’s any wealthy beneficiaries out there, hook a girl up with some real care. 😏 OK, just kidding… Or am I?

Have courage and be kind.
