As anyone knows who has been keeping up with 'the Tobi', my pseudonym, these last few weeks I have been going through tests that apparently will inform my new neuro with 'the how', to proceed.
I held up my end of the process by conforming to the concept of making the arrangements to get the required tests, blood work and MRI's.
Unfortunately, as usual with me, there was a glitch.
Apparently, the medical transcribers were not telling all of the reasoning for the two additional MRI's, with that reasoning being due to me in pain and the new doc looking for the cause via more lesions and once established how to treat me.
Once I was able to tell the approval department, the one who contacts, MY insurance with the why, which seemed to be NOT completely to be specified in my transcripts, and that is why the cervical MRI was delayed and I am now fully scheduled for my two remaining MRI's, one tomorrow and the last one, the cervical, on Monday that is unless there is a cancellation to move it up earlier!
I did have concerned decent people working with me; the first woman Diana deals with the approval from the insurance companies and is responsible for listening to me on the reason of my why and how long this had been an issue, two weeks today! Georgia is the scheduler who is willing to move me up if there is a cancellation before Monday, decent compassionate people.
They both work at the MRI center, Advantage Imaging here in Port Charlotte, just up the road a piece it has what is known as a 3 Tesla open MRI machine, my last few years the other place I was going to was only 1.5 or 2.0 Tesla.I found this info that explains the difference: http://www.3timaging.com/why-3-tesla-mri-ct-xray-mri-imaging-center-morton-grove-riverside-chicago-illinois.htm
And so I guess the final notable thing that we know to be true, except when shopping for clothes, outlets and thrift shops are good too, medical wise is you get what you pay for...this machine is twice the accuracy as the one that I was examined by previously.
On that note of delayed hopefulness, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
Next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
