Hi, Grace asked me to go on here and post an update for her other family. Grace is not feeling to well but she will be ok, she had to have surgery on her foot yesterday due to a diabetic complication, for a while afterwards she seemed ok after taking what she calls her happy pills for pain. But she has been in allot of pain last night and could not sleep. We will call the Doctor today and see if he can give her something a little stronger so she can rest. Ok she does have some good news for you. She said she posted something on the board about going to a lawfirm and asking for a lawyer to help her on her case against the insurance companies denial and refusal to even look at the medical proof that she does meet the medical criteria for weight loss surgery. She said she also told you that she thought one of the lawyers was going to take the case because she was told to call Thursday for her Attorney's name. Well she called Friday because she was not feeling up to calling Thursday after the firm left a voice mail. The extremely good news is she does not have a lawyer fighting for her. The firm assigned her case to 2 attorneys so she has 2 lawyers on her side fighting for her rights. They are going to get all her medical records and speak to her regular doctor and the surgeon. Even though she filed an appeal for a new hearing, because her rights were violated at the last hearing. All weekend right as we read this they are filing more paperwork with the courts. Grace has finely cheered up since the last denial and she feels for the first time in a long time that she has hope. She has been saying for months that she wanted to help the morbidly obese and be an advocate for the obese, I told her that maybe the reason she has to go though all this is because she has to know how to help the obese and I feel God has a special plan for her and this is part of that plan. Also Grace is extremely happy with her new little cousin. Grace's cousin who had a problem pregnancy gave birth to a girl who's name is Rebecca Pearl. Grace is madly is love with the baby already.
