Caricature of a stressed-out mom

[Guest guest]

I have this appeal hearing coming up in 10 days and am scrambling to

put together a presentation for the judge. I will have TWO agencies

fighting me, apparently, both of them represented by attorneys.

Eeeeep!

So I got out the leftover gallon (yep, GALLON) of vanilla ice cream

from 's DOC Grad party and sat here at the computer doing

research with a serving spoon (forget a wimpy little teaspoon!) and a

bottle of chocolate syrup. I ate ice cream with chocolate syrup until

I got cold, then ended up sucking chocolate straight from the bottle.

Ahhhhhhh...the ultimate cure.

If anyone out there has been through an administrative law hearing to

appeal payment for a band, could you contact me? I don't know what to

expect, how much time I have to talk, how to summon a witness (or

subpoena one), what I can object to, etc. I will pay it forward. If I

don't puke first.

syrup, so don't feel alone!!!!!

LMAO!! OMG I really feel for you. I wish there was something more I

could do to help. When I went in front of the panel of medical

directors at the HMO I thought my heart was going to fall out of my

chest. I would just practice what you will say as much as you can or

make really good cue cards. You probably don't have to worry about

too many formalities but I could be wrong. I'm sure you have all of

the data you need and his B & A pics and measurements, the Aetna thing

is great. You will do the very best jub you can, I am certain of

that. I can't wait to hear how it goes. I am roooting for you so

hard!!!
