Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Trisha - I bet nobody thinks you're sue happy! This is a support group and we all seek out advice and support here. Then there's me looking at suing the Cleveland Clinic and UHC. I thought people would think I am sue happy. I'm glad your grandma is home. Sounds like your dh needs to treat you to a day at the spa! I bet Bill will be able to bring Cigna to their knees for you. From my conversations with him, he sounds very honest adn dedicated!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Trisha, Keep fighting! Don't let Cigna win! If you have to sue them to get the money that YOUR ENTITLED to then sue them! I don't think your sue happy.I think your doing what Cigna has left you no other choice but to do. I can't " speak " for anybody else,but you didn't offend me. Your a great Mom for going through all of this for your son. I'm sorry your doing this alone. Just think of how great your going to feel when you WIN,knowing you basically did it on your own! Good luck and kick Cignas butt! Hi Trisha > > Good new about your grandma thats great!! Wow braeden was a big baby. > Crikey!!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hey Trisha: I agree with 's reply to you! DOn't worry.....many of us in the group have seriously considered suing someone at one point or another with all of this. Besides, don't worry what everyone thinks about you! You go ahead & vent away to us all you want. That's why we are here, for support! Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI Hi Trisha > > > > Good new about your grandma thats great!!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Trisha, I know you are super busy are work, but I'm getting a sitter one day next week so that I can come kidnap you and take you to lunch. What day can you go? Wednesday is out for me - 's got ballet. Any other day is great - you name it and I'll be there! Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
