Hi Jodi,

Sorry to hear about your insurance issues. Things will work out you'll see.

When does your husband plan on going back to work? I'll say a prayer for you

and your family. See you in October.

Jodi,

I can't believe his employer is doing that to you. They sure don't give you

much time to come up with the money.

Maybe the orthopedic will put you on a payment plan?

I will be saying an extra prayer for you tonight.

Jodie,

I am so sorry this happened to you! I know it can be a scream! Just a

tip on the shoe thing. Consider if you can't make the appt. putting

one of those shoe inserts inside his shorted side shoe! We did this

for Storm when he played T-ball and he said it helped him run better!

(Just a thought until you get it all squared away!)

Blessings,

Carmen

Jodi,

In the meanwhile, can you move up the October 5 appointment? Try

calling the doctor and explaining the situation. I am sure they will

fit you in early. We have done that before and it always worked.

Heck, I wound up with the twins that way (our insurance was changing

and we weren't going to have infertility coverage anymore so we moved

up our second in vitro try and got pregant).

Best of luck.

Jodi,

Did you call the workers comp attorney? Also, is there a union that Terry is

in? If you need help or have questions and can't get a hold of your attorney,

call me at work. I can get my boss to answer or e-mail me your questions and I

will forward them to him.

I just called my sister who's boss does workers comp and she said they cannot

stop paying the health insurance for him and they cannot let him go!!!!

Call your attorney or call me at work or my sister at work - whichever you are

more comfortable doing.
