Morning Update - Thank You All Again!!,,,,
Well, we had a fairly good night. She stills has a lot of pain but that is to be expected. I have resting right now looking at the paper. This next part just tells a little of what we went through to get this far. Sorry for the long read,,,, About a year & 1/2 ago she ruptured a disc. They went in and removed the disc at Paducah, Ky. That didn't help the pain at all and it kept getting worse and worse. Their answer for the problem was "Pain Management". She had to stay doped up all the time to even get out of bed. She had no life. So we went to Nashville TN. to see 2 Doctors. They felt like they could help Tonya. We got it all lined up and then her insurance denied the claim!! We have fought with them for months and finally found out that the 2 doctors wern't in the "Network" but the insurance agency turned it over to a IRO for review. They said that Anthem should have NEVER denied the claim so Anthem had to pay the claim. They went in and removed something that was putting pressure on all the nerves with every movement she made. Then the other doctor put rods and pins, screws and a cage around the whole area and then "Fused" it all together. She feels like they fixed her back. The only reason she has pain now is from the major surgery. I told her I could have saved a lot of money for chips by just going to Walmart & buying an Erector Set!!
Thanks for caring and Thank you all again for everything. It made my day to get more Personals & the other chips!! I will post them here in a few. Take care and have a great day and a Wonderful Labor Day Weekend, Mark & Tonya
