Spoke with the attorney today & he said we FINALLY have a hearing date scheduled for 1-21-2010.
1st... I can't believe it's going to be 2010 in just about 7 weeks... WHAT HAPPENED to 2009??
2nd.. The attorney said they're going to have a neurologist at the hearing. Which will all be done via video conferencing.
He also said that if all goes well & I'm approved, it will be 30 to 60 days before I get the 1st check... which should be the retroactive money. (Over 3 years worth!!!)
So, once we have that accomplished, I'll be scheduling the surgery soon as I can.... However, BEFORE I can even think about that... I have to get that MRI Cine Flow study done... That won't happen until Hubby's new insurance kicks in late this month....
UNLESS a friend, & advocate for Chiarians & a Chiarian herself, finds out if a certain radiologist will do the MRI for FREE... yes... I said FREE!!!! Only thing is... since I haven't heard from her... I'm thinking that the radiologist can't get privileges down in Columbus. ... I'm about to tell her to tell the guy that if he can do it... I'll get to New York!
Just hope if I do that... they don't mind I'm not going to the doctors in New York.
Who knows, maybe the doctor will tell me I don't need surgery after all & just will need to take some medicine to relieve the pressure. We'll see.
Anyway... that's the update on that.
*************************
A quick NaNoWriMo update (in case you didn't see my quick note)... It's on hold for me right now. I have completely lost my muse... & the mood of creative writing. I think it's from the lack of sleep I've gotten this week... SOOOOO hopefully things will improve over the weekend.
Stay tuned for more...
