Journal entry by Sara Oehler —
I’ll just jump right in today.
More annoyance! Has anyone ever filled out long term disability paperwork while being insured by Kaiser. Kaiser’s medical records department seems to be refusing to fill out the physician’s statement. They keep sending me a work status report and full medical record. I have Joshua’s doctor and social worker working on it, but I wondered if the hive mind out there has more information on how to get over this hurdle. I have been working on it since 4/13/24! I’m hoping I don’t have to march down there this week to get this 2 page form filled out. The Hartford seemed perplexed why the doctor’s office cannot complete and submit this paperwork that everyone else has to submit.
This is the stuff that truly exhausts me. Why is this so hard? It should be straight forward and easy for a newly disabled person who worked hard their whole life.
Joshua is doing okay. Still no fever. I’m giving him an antibiotic shot once a day for a week. He’s taking an antibiotic pill once a day for 2 weeks. He’ll have a new blood draw on Friday. Hopefully, his numbers will go back up. He spent most of today in bed. Got up to eat and then fell back asleep in his recliner. Poor guy. We cancelled his PT and OT for this week, so he can rest up before he starts acupuncture on Friday.
I’m okay too. Annoyed by nonsensical paperwork. Still feeling like it’s all a little (or a lot) too much, but I’m making forward strides again. I just have to stay focused and do lots of not really fun (but necessary) things.
