Praying for a good day!

[Bummer Knees]

I have a settlement hearing Wednesday afternoon.

Things will either work out or not at the hearing and I am fine with that.

I will be driving into downtown Wichita myself, please say prayers that my pain will be low that day and I will be able to tolerate the drive.

Thanks,
Bummer Knees

We will say a prayer for you about that day and for every day because it just never does go away.

My attorney sent me documents I am to read and sign before the hearing. I am not signing them because I do not understand them!

The proposed MSA amount is just over $4,000.00, I knew they would low ball this. I really don't see how medicare will approve the setaside. If they don't approved the setaside the insurance company has agreed to open medical.

Open medical means I will have to return to court every time I am needing medical treatment.

Bummer its just crazy isnt it...Today on TV I saw a commercial where they are recalling some knees replacements.....its just crazy....

[Bummer Knees]

Jayne what news station did you see this on?

I did a search on recalls and the Zimmer Knee came up. I believe that is made by Stryker and the type of implant I have. Bad Boy & BB taught me it is the part numbers & number on the implant that have to be listed in the recalls.

Thank you for your prayers!
My pain levels were much better today and I was able to drive to Wichita with no problems.

The judge approved the settlement, and attorney expenses.

The insurance company seaside sent to CMS was only for $4,000.00, my attorney said it will be denied. The insurance company put in the settlement agree that if the MSA is denied I will have open medical for my work comp injuries

For the past 2 years the insurance company said the only way they would settle was if I signed a statement saying the need for the knee replacement was not work comp related.
This did not happen, I was not requested to sign such a statement; the knee replacement will be covered by future medical or the MSA.
