Hang in there both of you. Being there for her is the best thing.
A true act of love.

Here's hoping for a smooth path.

I'm thinking of you, and I agree that being there for her is a really good thing.

Hang in there.

Hope all continues to go well and you get back to broadband asap!

Sundae · 04-17-2012, 10:59 AM

Much love to you and the Kat.

Undertoad · 04-18-2012, 10:16 PM

And the update is...

NO UPDATE

which means they still haven't called her with more information. She's going to call them tomorrow, to try to move the process along.

She can't drive, can't lift 10 pounds, has a time bomb in her chest and is taking six different pre-surgical meds which is making her shaky and tired. Come on people, let's get going here.

But we did enjoy some of the area's best Japanese food tonight, so there's that.

Hang in there.

My friend is the wrong kind of surgeon (she does breast cancer), but I might be able to get you some names if you need them.

Undertoad · 04-19-2012, 01:10 PM

She finally called them. And they had forgotten her. They say the surgeon's office at Penn will be calling today.

jimhelm · 04-19-2012, 01:24 PM

unless they forget.

cocks.

The problem is 3rd party billing. If they treated us like CUSTOMERS instead of patients, we'd get better service. Stay on them. call every hour.

Sorry about your mom's health woes, bro.

fuggers. What Jim said. "Stay on them. call every hour."

Undertoad · 04-19-2012, 07:09 PM

The surgeon's office didn't call today. We will be calling them tomorrow.

infinite monkey · 04-19-2012, 09:25 PM

Are you freaking kidding me? Document every call, every non-returned call, and the fact that they 'forgot about her.' Keep a written record, because their complacency is unacceptable.

Undertoad · 04-19-2012, 10:33 PM

get this

She was prescribed a certain blood test. So Wednesday she went to the cardiologist's office to get that done. She spoke to the receptionist, who explained that the blood test isn't done at the office, it's done at the hospital.

Thursday upon calling the cardiologist's office to ask WTF why haven't we gotten an appointment with Penn yet, they answer....

"Oh. Well we saw you yesterday!"

yes i guess technically that is true

DanaC · 04-20-2012, 03:06 AM

Oh ffs. Just when you really need people to be fucking competant.
