Here you go, my Sweet Violets! Another new home for our daily musings....

Allergan just called. Today they were to have the meeting with their board about my reimbursement. He asked if I had to pay for the new band (Yes) and what the cost of the new band was. I sent them my hospital bill total ($5,500), but I have the breakdown. I told him I'd fax him the breakdown... But it's kind of misleading, and I don't know why they care unless they're only going to give me reimbursement of the actual band? Argh. So he said send that over, and they will meet on it again next week.

What I have, shows the actual band was $9,000. But then on my total page, the total hospital bill was $25,000... and then they adjusted it for a non-insured patient... $5,500.

So what does that mean, the band was about $200 of it? HEH.

Yeah, but I think I told ya'll at Christmas his dad told Russ he is leaving his mom. And then apparently the other day his dad finally packed and left.. but came back at night.

Hey... back @ the car dealership, this time for a scheduled appointment for the brakes... they shimmy more than I do! I brought work... I am SO behind in work!!

So busy trying to catch up from the weekend... cant even think about next weekend yet.

Laura, that's whack.

Pam, I'm a b, too, so its good to know we're not alone! I definitely need a bump up in my happy meds... I'm not feeling it.

Judy, I love your quiet, constant resolve. U rock.

Janie & Heather, love capris now that I no longer wear shorts, for the good of humanity.

Haydee, you sound so busy but happy!

Ok, time to get to work. Everyone have a great day!

Hey Girls~

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! It is going to be a fun day. We are going to Las Cas (yep, Haydee and Michelle, same one) and get our "Mexican on"!!!

I did WW well all day yesterday, UNTIL, I pb'd dinner, then had some chips for dinner. I like that you get 5 cups of low cal popcorn for 1 pt!! I will track all day, then enjoy tonight. I know it is not the plan, but Cinco de Mayo is a big thing here! I figure I will be good on and off for the next 2 weeks, then get back from TX and really get it going. I am NOT counting points next weekend...this is my only vacay all year, and I just want to be. I am getting a small unfill tomorrow since I have so much trouble when I fly. Might be good while doing WW. There are some foods on WW that are not band friendly. And I don't need to pb meat, then puke it all up...and then eat chips.

Have a great day peeps. Pop in from work!

xoxoxo

Oh man, Las Cas! I have the picture postcard by my desk! A dinner-sized 'rita sounds so good!! Esp. As I have another couple hours to hang out here @ the car shop! Snagged a desk & m working, at least.

Okay my newest injury to add to my right shoulder is my right thumb. I know I did something to it, but don't want to go to the dr. because they will incapacitate my thumb (livelyhood) for a while. I fell on my thumb and heard a series of crunches and had major pain. That was yesterday morning. I wasn't real busy at work yesterday, today really busy so we will see. Keep thoughts of my thumb away from the drs office!! But, don't waste your prayers on my thumb!!!

Oh yeah,

Good morning!!!

Pamela, your in-laws sound special!! You could have a book, Glass Castles, Running with Scissors etc.........

Michelle, I bet you feel so pressed for time! I feel that way sometimes and I am just me! No husband or kids to worry about with their schedules etc..... Hang in there!!!

Pamela, Judy, and Bob I just heard an alert on the tv that for some reason ww points are not going to count from the 13th to the 18th of May!!! Coincidence?????

Janie, That works perfect! I am glad I resolved to not count any point then...whew! That could've been a mess!

Did you mean Laura's in-laws? I went back and re-read a couple of my posts and no mention of in-laws.

Yes, Laura's in-laws!

LOL.

Did you have fun Michelle?!
