A new year, a new beginning.
I did have to work over the holidays- if you call being on call work, I didn’t (thankfully) get a single call. In years past we had little new years celebrations, friends and family, but this year we just stayed home and relaxed. On friday last I spent some time with some friends, a few of whom have their own blogs, but for the most part, I sat home. I could spend $24 and hunt for another six days, but it’s just not worth it, unless it snows very heavily. So all in all, the least expensiv (and most boring) holiday we’ve ever had.
In other news my insurance has denied the funding for my surgery. I’m told this is common and that the doctor will write a letter detailing the reasons they should cover it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Certainly, the operation is one that costs more than my very first house, so no way will I be able to afford it myself. I’ll keep you posted.

Happy New Year Og. A quiet New Year is most often a very good way to kick things off. I wish you and yours the very best in 2007~
Happy New Year, og.
Good luck with the surgery. A good friend of mine’s mother-in-law underwent that surgery last year and had pretty good success.
Happy New Year, Og. Yes, quiet New Year’s celebrations are the best kind. I hope your surgery goes well. My daughter and son-in-law both had it done, and are quite happy. God bless you richly.
Can I reiterate for a brief second? Thanks…

Okay, I have wood now.

Hey! You forgot a short afternoon of the worst van on earth and teaching me the meaning of whaaaaPOOWWWWWWW!
Trust me, that’s not by a long sight the worst van on earth.
Wishing you a wonderful New Year, Og… I’m glad I found your site.
Insurance companies suck!!… big time. I’m betting the doc knows how to write a letter that will get you what you want… good luck!
Happy New Year, Og. And I have faith you’ll get the insurance co. to come around. That is common. They refused my wife for what her doctor said was a necessary surgery. Turned out after about two dozen phone calls that it was a red tape/clerical thing. We found out shortly before Christmas that they would be paying for it after all.
As for ’07, good luck on your writing. Let’s talk as your story collection grows.
A lot of places automatically reject first applications. It’s their way of whittling away claims. They figure a small percent of the applicants will appeal, so they save a lot of claims monies by this easy way to screen out the meeker. Then they pay the noisy ones, figuring they’d have to pay them anyway. Social Security is a big one on this – most people who apply for SS Disability have to appeal their rejections. I’ve seen people who struggled to stay alive, let alone be work worthy, have to appeal. Squeaky wheel = grease.
