Well, as I left off on Monday’s post I was timed out / out of insurance coverage of physical therapy that I have been receiving.
I spent this morning on the phone with different agencies trying to uncover some type of funding assistance to allow me to get into physical therapy at least twice a month to get the left side of my body stretched out and to get supervised weight therapy on that side to stimulate the brain activity to rebuild movement on that side. The therapy is working but not fast enough for my insurer.
A couple of resources that I have come across that are possibilities and that I would like to share with you all is this…..
Dana Farber told me today about the federal 211 service. Dialing 211 connects you locally to a agency who will connect you to many different program and services that may be available in your area. Nonprofits, funding etc.
so, I did just call and the women was very easy on the phone and went through my background story and needs and gave me a few different options that may or may not help my predictament. I was grateful to speak with Leslie and I will dig into the info I was given to see what pans out. I called today and they did not have what I needed specifically but it was a great tool should you need some options.
I also have been looking into the YMCA ‘s Livestrong Program for cancer survivors. This program is 12 weeks and meets twice weekly for 90 minute sessions. This program evaluates each individual to see what needs each has. They then will devise an action plan to move forward with. So, I am waiting for my evaluation call. Again, another possible help to regain my physical capacities and posture.
Please spread the word about these different tools that are available. These options may or may not fit my needs or yours but they will help someone along their life’s walk.
To be perfectly frank yesterday’s letter from my insurer was a black and white kick in my ribs. Not that I blame them. It’s their bottom line not mine. My bottom line is that of human being but that does not make for a good business model I suppose.
But, today is a new day one filled with possibilities and opportunities so I must seek and find what I need.
Do not get discouraged if you get bad news regarding your health or insurance or anything for that matter ! Its not the end !. Get a firm footing, a business mind is needed to keep the emotions in cheque. Devise a forward moving plan . No matter how small there will be a positive effect.
We need to embody a no problem is too big attitude. 😀:)
i just got off the phone with my physical therapist about my note that I received yesterday. They too received the same info so thats that. They are an awesome group of people that I would reccommend to anyone.
I will figure this out soon. 🙂 You know why ? Because Gods got it. 🙂
I love this song I have used it once before in my blog and it is so true.
Turn it up and Enjoy!
