Just thought I'd write a quick post letting everyone know I'm back home, and thanking you all for the support. Especially Lisa! writing up that letter and doing all that research was a pretty amazing thing, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! Also everyone who facebooked me and visited, it's amazing how uplifting that can be. The good news is that I received approval from my insurance company yesterday around 2:30, and by 5:00 I was receiving my first dose of remicade. Everything went well, and no reactions yet, so things are looking good. I get my next infusion in two weeks, and then every 8 weeks after that for the foreseeable future. Hopefully that means back to work right shortly.
Anyway thanks to everyone again, and by all means sign those letters and spread them around. I would not want anyone to go through what I did, having your entire future boil down to a decision made by an insurance company!
