A kink already.

I told Mom this morning about my new schedule. The one where my retired mother doesn't have to get up so early any more to be to my house by 7:15 a.m. to take care of the kids before school so The Mr. and I can get to work on time. She loved it, by the way. Also because she knows I need and want to exercise.

Not long after she left the house, though, she called to remind me that my plan to start my new schedule on Monday (I hate starting on Mondays) may need to be rethunk. (rethinked? reconsidered?) No. 1 and No. 2 start their two-week spring break on Monday and they are going to day camp. Camp that's on *my* way to work. Camp that *I* was planning to drop them off at around 7 a.m. on my way to work. Camp that I'm not sure I can convince The Mr. to take them to because it's slightly out of his way and will require him to give up driving his motorcycle to work for two weeks.

*sigh* I'll figure it out.

Still fighting for sensors.

With my new plan to exercise every day fresh in my mind I decided that I needed to fight harder to get coverage for sensors.

I bypassed XX Medical Supply company and called my insurance company. "Here's the deal," I told them. "My policy says I don't have disposable coverage unless the piece is required for the equipment to work. It's needed. What do I need to do to get these approved?"

Submit a letter of medical necessity from my doctor's office and they'll either approve it or deny it and if they deny it I can appeal, I was told. I know I have that letter somewhere. Well *I* don't have it, but either my Dexcom rep or XX Medical Supply company has it.

I thought this was what the health advocate was for, but that got me nowhere and took forever. So I've started making the necessary calls to get the letter and I'm already figuring out what I'll need to write in my appeal letter.
