Cool tracking device

When my husband went in for his last test at the hospital, they put this device tracker on him. Granted it was a hospital in the big city, so this may be so old news to city people, but for small town girls like me this was pretty cool. It was so everyone always knew where he was. Rather cool. Also I got to carry around a paging device when they took him back for the procedure. So all they had to do was beep me when they were done.

Wow technology has come a long way.

Final denial

We received yesterday  a letter informing us, though the pain is indeed real, they are still going to deny the nerve stimulator due to lack of evidence and due to the determination that the treatment is considered experimental.    The letter was thoughtful and personally written to reflect our personal situation, but still disappointing.

Our only option now is to go for an external appeal outside of our insurance company.  Is this something we need a lawyer for.  I really don't think my husband has the energy to fully present his cause and successfully argue the benefit.  It just is not his personality.  It really would be nice to know if this would work

Meanwhile,  my husband is now using a tens unit on his neck to used for the neck pain.  It helps some when on  and pain fully returns when removed. However, that is expected.

Botox A for some reason failed to work fully this time.  In the past he has had full headache relief with Botox A, so we  are not sure why after Botox B not really working why the Botox A is following suite too.  Headache is diminished, but easily fully returns with any activity.  This is rather frustrating, since this has been our last of options.

Well nothing major more to report.
