Wasted Month

Despith the fact that I filed a letter of intent to continue my medical insurance through COBRA when my employment at SKZ ended almost 45 days ago, the wonderful folks at BCBS of GA still haven't gotten my medical coverage renewed.

It took almost 4 full weeks for them to get the correct paperwork to me and get things set up for me to access my account correctly online and, despite the fact that I made the payments online 2-3 days ago, my coverage still isn't in effect.

What this means fio me is a lot of sleepless nights since I am forced to use cheaper and less effective meds for pain (or rather to help me sleep through the pain) at night at well as having to postpone a much needed back procedure until I can get it pre-certified with BCBS.

All this adds up to a long month of August. Despite the financial hardship it placed me in I was forced to not only pay for coverage for August (even tjough it is thr 28th and i still dont have coverage...) but also pay for September in advance just so there would be no further interruptions in my coverage.

Before ladt week I never realized how much I would miss that little blue pill I took every night.... (Not THAT pill, Silly! I'm talking about Ambien!!!)

  1. You can tell the generic sleep aid is working wonders. I actually took 2 at bedtime and am still awake at 6:26 AM....
