It is dark out this morning and 43 degrees. Yesterday was a fall wet day that chilled our home, our deck shines with moisture - today may be the same.Every day Motherkitty endures the pain in her back. She is active for as long as she can then stops because of the pain. We have not heard whether workers comp will allow her to have a test to see what is wrong with her back. Her doctor asked her to take the test but workers comp refused to pay for it. Were waiting for their approval so she may take the test.
The day before yesterday she had the tens unit (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) on her back and something rippled horizontally (that is not how the tens unit works) across her back and over her spine giving her a spasm that was surprising and uncomfortable. She turn off the unit and I removed it from her back.
Why can't the test just be done and paid for by her other healthcare insurance and then when Workmen's comp finally agrees to pay for it they (Workmen's comp) can just reimburse the other insurance for the test? It just seems a waste of Motherkitty & the doctors time to have to wait so long for a decision on whether the test will be paid for by WC. In the end if WC won't pay for the test it will fall to the other insurance anyway. The proper treatment can't be done on Motherkitty until it's known what her real injury consists of.
ReplyDeleteTell Motherkitty that we're sorry that she is in so much pain and I hope that the tens unit will function properly the next time she puts it on.
