No clue Jared. I'm actually pulling it out later to add some leak crap and charge the AC system.

No, the pneumonia I had last October that put me in the hospital for 3 weeks caused me to go in A-fib. That's been gone since I got out and my nuclear stress test was all clear.
Forgot about that one. Would be sorely missed.

Glad you're still with us!
As said before probe the Dr's wrong, read up as much as you can and use that education to be the best advocate for yourself.
My cousin tore a mussle ligament on the inside of his lower right leg into the knee region iirc just while skating playing hockey. He found a surgeon who's technique allowed the body to heal the damage more throughly, it was a time sensitive operation and he was allready having to fight just to get MRI. Long story short insurance didn't want to cover it so it's going to end up in court, but his leg is healing better and faster than the traditional routes.

Unfortunately the best advice. Tricky at times of distress. Thankfully have badass ass insurance. 2k out of pocket year max. Which works both ways. Start to ponder if just performing pointless tests knowing it is covered.

Major gripe miss the IV start over, Don't noodle around and don't try 10x before you call over the person that can get it first try.

Ouch!! Good luck on your recovery! Bikes are fun but when good times go bad not so much!
Thank you for the kind words sir. You’re indeed correct, it’s fun until it’s not. However in life it’s not how you handle the good times, it’s how you handle the bad. Luckily times like this show you who’s there for you, and who’s not. Knowing who’s there for the good times, and who’s not for the bad times helps weed out the bad ones.

For sure! The bad times will also show you a good bit about yourself. The past is past focus on the future, in this case your recovery.

Well just a little update on the situation. I’ve got my MRI’s tomorrow and I just got a call from them in regards to my insurance. Now they’re saying that my insurance is only going to cover $300 all of a sudden, and I’m out of pocket the rest. Luckily I’m only out of pocket $500 tomorrow or so. Very annoying, however it gets worse. Due to my changing of careers and gong back to my old career with Publix I haven’t been there long enough to be eligible for FMLA. So if I don’t go back to work august 28th I’ll lose my job since I haven’t worked in the last 30 days. Currently I’m a liability for even light duty due to not being able to walk, and I could potentially “slip and fall”.

Yikes, that can get scary. My total from being in the hospital for 3 weeks last year was about $500K all said and done. I had to pay $8,600 due to deductible.

Shit adds up quick doesn’t it? God bless man, glad you’re alright though. Depending on how this all pans out if I do end up losing my job I’ll have to part ways with some of my cars.

That's not where your head needs to be right now though. Focus on recovery.

Trying man, a little hard to stay focused on that when I might lose my job in 14 days lol. I guess I could still do physical therapy in my cardboard box. Hahaha

Damn! You can’t seem to catch a break anywhere these days sorry to hear. This really sucks for you. Hopefully things will get turned around soon and you can get back on your feet (literally) fingers crossed for you.

I’m sure hoping so sir. Just want to catch one break. Really hoping my MRI goes smooth tomorrow and he tells me something good. For being 100% Irish I sure do have some Interesting luck.
