I am speechless!

I have settled my case, waiting for the approval of the MSA which was a low amount of $4,000.00 for life time future medical. My attorney says it won't be approved and I will end up with open medical.

With my work comp case it has been a history of deny, deny, deny, having to schedule hearings for any type of medical treatment.

Three weeks ago the TKR knee started giving out and the joint pain increased. I called the surgeon's office to schedule an appointment and was told a member of his office staff would seek approval for the appointment from the insurance company.

This morning I called the surgeon's office and learned the insurance company had approved the office visit!

I am speechless!

An update........I saw the surgeron on the TKR today and learned my quads are very weak.

I was shown exercises to do once I receive the okay from the neurosurgeon due to the neck surgery.

Good news, the implant is stable according to x-rays.

The knee surgeon asked me about the grinding noise my knee is making and if the sound bothered me.
Since I am deaf the noise really isn't an issue.
