grievance committee

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I posted about this one other time and only got a couple

responses. I am definately going before the grievance committee

(Cigna) to present my case for the MGB. I will either do it on

October 3 or October 19. It will be October 3 if they get the

recomendation back from the same and similar specialists reviewer by

tomorrow, if not it will be October 19. HELP!!!! I am really

starting to freak out here. This is not any where close to what I am

good at. I am a very emotional and I either cry or talk but I can

not do both. I know I will go to Indy and won't be able to say a

thing on my behalf because of all the crying. If anyone has had to

do this would you post some of what you did and said and took with

you. I am scared to death to do this, but I know I have too. I have

a lot of resentment I am dealing with over this too because it really

pisses me off that I have to beg for their help. My husband is a

recovering alcoholic and he did not have to do anything to get in

treatment and get the help he needed. I am trying to use the things

I have learned in ALANON to get through this, but I have to admit I

have thrown ALANON out the window just about every time I have to

talk to someone from Cigna. It has been absolutely soooooo

frustrating! Please send me some words of encouragement, I really am

getting freaked out here. I could have to do this in 5 days. I

don't know what else I can give them to convince them that I NEED

this surgery. Thanks in advance for you help.

Bonded by our experience, strength and hope,

Rhonda
