Hi Keb, has the doctor or therapist written a letter to the insurance company explaing the necessity of the procedure and program? That is part of the insurance game. Make sure you appeal and make sure they write a letter.

Im not very fond of doctors or insurance companies myself and feel that they will get their own circle of hell down the line.

As far as missing you, your therapist is right. People will miss you. IN real life, here, whoever you touch in life. I think a lot more people like you than you give yourself credit for. YOu seem to me to be very personable and intelligent. Dont sell yourself short. And as much as it sucks really it is not right for us to do that to other people. They will always feel that they should have done something, when they have no way of knowing what now.
