It's not nice, but it is one of the funniest websites I have ever seen. I laugh out loud, to myself, often. And it's a perfect place to stop by when you need a good laugh, like I do, after getting off the phone just now. First with someone from the sleep study center in Portland who thinks the doctor we need Liam to see might be in network, but wasn't sure, and who also couldn't tell me when we'd be able to actually schedule an appointment because she doesn't do that. And then with my insurance company in-network help center, where someone was only able tell me that the pediatric sleep study doctor is in network, as of right this minute, but could not guarantee that he would be when we finally get our appointment for Liam. And who didn't know the actual phone number for my insurance company, which I need to call to verify if, in fact, a sleep study is covered. Even though the doctor appears to be in network. Just in case you think I'm all sweet and nice over here – this is definitely not the case after any sort of phone calls involving insurance. There may be ranting and raving involved.
And I laugh hysterically at regretsy. (Thanks, Lisa, for sending me there in the first place!)

i'd hate to say it, but that blog does give me a good laugh. it's mean and hateful... but, really, some of the things featured there really are hideous. and sometimes i do wonder who would pay good money for it? but... as always, i must keep an open mind. and be respectful.
Anything I can do to provide a laugh and distraction from the bureaucracy of insurance companies....and that blog just tells it like it is.
I look forward to meeting you next month, your chimes are all done! I was very moved by your letter to your son's classmate's parents. My cousin is in a chair similar to Liam's and people are always very curious about his condition. He's cognitively inhibited (he has CP), but a bright, smart joy of a boy, and our family struggles with the same issues of how much to help and how much to let him do on his own. He is lucky to have such a fantastic mom.
