Things get done, FAST!!!!
Now, I am not normally prone to dramatic fits to get things done, but these last two days certainly brought out a little drama queen in me.
I have been going back and forth with my Dr.'s office, the medical supply company, and my insurance company. No one was submitting the correct paperwork to get my formula authorized. The medical supply company had already sent me two cases with no proof it would even be paid for and I couldn't keep expecting this. So, when I was down to the wire...meaning- if they didn't send the authorization by lunchtime I would miss the cut-off for the formula to be sent next-day air. Once I ran out....well, nothing else can be forced down the tube and actually using my mouth and throat for actual eating is out of the question (oh!!! the gagging!)
So, I brought out the big guns..... it went a little like this.
Me:"So, I was just calling to get some instructions"
Nurse: "Instructions for what?"
Me: "Well, your office has failed to send the authorization that was needed for the medical supply company to send me more formula. I have called and talked to three people, who have all assured me it would be done yesterday, and it still has not, so I am going to run out on Sunday. So when I run out....I'll be pulling this tube out and I need to know... Is it kinda a yank, or a pulling type motion. Is there danger of aspirating it into my lungs???? I really need detailed instructions, since this is what I will be forced to do on Sunday. Any tips you can give me???"
Nurse: "Uh, Uh, hold on....... "
Well, wouldn't you know my doctor comes on!!! The paperwork was completed within 15 minutes and my formula is on it's way.
P.S. I was secretly hoping she would tell me how, so I could just go ahead and do it....she never did:(
