My next post will focus on an aspect of spinal fusions I have not yet covered on BBW: the financial impact of this major surgery. If you do not have insurance, bless your heart. May God be good to you if you proceed with this surgery.
If you are fortunate enough to have good health coverage, bless your heart. Prepare to embrace your explanation of benefits statements (my stack is almost two inches thick now) and bills, as well as never-ending calls to physicians, physical therapists, health insurance companies, pharmacies, human resources leave of absence coordinators, bosses, disability insurance case managers, and your sister, with whom you commiserate on how dysfunctional these entities are while crying for the fourth time before noon. (Thank you, Moe, for being the best sounding board I could have ever asked for).
Stay tuned . . .
