I recently received this note from a woman who is blogging her way through eye muscle surgery:
I found your website because I am an adult living with a crossed-eye. I recently started a blog to share and document the journey through corrective eye surgery.
A few days ago, she blogged her very interesting account some of the insurance woes she is experiencing. Many of us can relate to the long and often frustrating wait for all the insurance stuff to get hashed out! I wanted to share some of what she writes with you:
My appointment, yeah the one in June, was cancelled, because of a back and forth misunderstanding between my GP’s office and the surgeon’s office. Boston Children’s Hospital needs a referral….

Thanks for sharing this with the folks who visit your site. I’m not sure what I’m going to write about for the next three months of waiting, but perhaps that will give me time to do more thorough research.
I urge people to comment, share their stories, etc. The more we get this out there, the better the medical care and insurance offerings will get.
