Still Waiting

Hi all
It has now been 8 business days and I am still waiting to hear from Dr. Larsen's office about the insurance approval. ON Thursday the 15th N. called to ask a few more questions which I thought I had previously answered but I guess she didn't write down the answers. I called on the 22nd and N stated hey hadn't heard anything back from the insurance yet and that she would call as soon as they do.
In the mean time I did go for the MRI of my back and the Xrays of my right hip and left shoulder. Also went for the blood, urine and stool workup. I have heard from Dr. R about the MRI and Xrays. I knew I had spinal stenosis and osteoarthritis of the right hip so that info was not new. What was new is that I have 3 bulging discs in the L3-4, L4-5 and the S1 areas of my back, thus explains the excruciating pain I have been in for the last 13 years at least. As far as the shoulder I have osteoarthritis in that as well. Stupid Dr I had gone to in 2005 told me "Oh don't worry about it,it is just a fatty deposit it will go down. Yea well it went down and even afte PT I still can not get my hand behind my back. THANKS DR! Dr. R asked what previous treatments I had to treat these problems and whenI told him 3 epidural 6 months of prolotherpahy shots, PT for months on my back , hip and shoulder and none of it worked he wanted to refer me to a physiatry. I wanted laproscopic back surgery on the bulging discs but he wouldn't refer me. So now I am waiting for a referral to a physiatry and hopefully he will refer me for the back surgery.

I just wish this was all over with and I was living a normal life doing the things I use to enjoy so much. I HATE LIVING LIKE THIS!

As far as my love life well MW never showed! Gee I knew it, it was too good to be true! He Imed while I was at the MRI and when I came home I read "sorry but I have to take my daughter out of the state to a Dr will not be back until May 26th." I haven't heard form him since. He was suppose to be on a bus on his way to me on the 21st. The story of my love life. I guess no one wants to be with a crippled!!!!!!
