Insurance companies

    So, Dr. Lin wants Sara to take affinator, a new drug for cancer.  It was just approved because Steve Jobs pushed for it's approval.  Dr. Lin sent several requests to get it pre-authorized.  Dr. Lin writes books on cancer.  Well, the insurance company sent him and copy to her a denial letter today.  'Not medically necessary'.  So how do you deal with something like this?  It is a drug specifically to treat neuroendocrine tumor. I am only gonna say this 300 times, insurance companies suck. We will keep working on this.
      Meanwhile, Bentley went for surgery today to remove a thing on his leg.  He is recovering nicely and sharing the surgical procedure experience with Sara.  Seeing Bentley on drugs was pretty funny.
"You want some munchies with that, Bent?"  Then, Sara went to pay and her most wonderful, uncomparable, beautiful sister, Shanna, and super fantastic brother-in-law, Wes, had paid the vet bill in full.
    I am making a turkey dinner. All that organic stuff has made me sick and nothing smells better than a turkey dinner on a fall day. Duane, your potatoes are baking as we speak.
    Sara is resting and eating and planning her post op appointment next week.  There is a benefit in the works.  Details in the making.  Thanks to everyone for your care and concern.
