 |  I'm ready to cry
I just got back from visiting my two sons out west. They are having a lot of financial problems which breaks my heart. Then I get back and find that I got a denial letter from the insurance company while I was gone, and this morning I come back to work to find out that my team is being moved under a new boss that I despise. I don't think I can be any more depressed than where I'm at right now.  |

I'm so sorry that you are having all these problems. Its hard when your kids are in trouble and you can't do anything about it. As for your insurance, you always have an appeal. From what I understand a lot of use get denied the first time and have to appeal. Don't get too depressed about that yet. As for your job, maybe it will be a good move.?
Well, at least you have us to come vent too. Start the appeal process right away. Call the doctors office right away they will help.

Don't let the stress overwhelm you, take control of the things that you can. Start working on your appeal letter, say a prayer for your kids, and try and deal with your new boss.
I will keep you in my prayers!

Awww, (((((((HUGS))))))))
Don't give up!! Appeal for your surgery, being denied once is nothing!!
As for your job and boss...well, take one day at a time, and see where things lead.
Bad times for our children is a heartbreaker for any parent, but keep in mind, there always is a sliver lining to that dark cloud.
Baby steps, just putting one foot in front of the other, one at a time, will soon lead you to bigger steps.
Hang in there, believe in yourself, and you'll do fine.

Please don't give up things will get better soon. 1 denial is nothing to stress over fint out why they denied you and then work on that aspect of getting it approved

So sorry your going through some tough times--but remember to climb back up on the horse--don't give up without a fight! Appeal the insurance decision, alot of people go through this, prayers for the kids is good advice, and don't forget, keep your enemy close, you may find you and your new boss may get along better once you are on their team. Good luck to you.

Oh I can so relate to you right now. But since this is your post and not mine I will just remind you that God is in control and he knows what we and our children even the grown ones need. So I will be appealing right with you as I was turned down too and I expect things to turn around for us both.

Thanks everyone for all the positive comments. It's so wonderful to have a place to go to and know that you can talk to people who will understand. My husband is trying very hard to be supportive but he doesn't understand and so he doesn't say the right things. I will fight the denial - I don't give up easily, but I'm just really down from getting hit from so many directions at the same time. Thanks again.
