What an awesome day I had yesterday…all praise and glory be to God! One of the coolest things that happened was that Humana approved two medications that had been prescribed to me by my doctors. I will try to explain how this came about as concisely as possible, because I can be so long-winded.
Day before yesterday, I called Humana to get the status on the approval of these medications. I was told that neither of them had been approved and that one of them (out of two) had been pushed into the Appeals and Grievance Department, which just sent me over the edge. Mind you, at this point in my life, by the grace of God, it is extremely rare for me to “lose it” but this time I did. I was so frustrated and angry that I vented horribly to this sweet young man who said his Humana title was that of a Clinical Review Representative. He patiently listened and tried to console me as I ranted and raved about how the patient becomes the victim of Humana’s gross negligence in trying to usurp the professional direction of the patient’s physician by denying the prescribed dosage of medication prescriibed. I went on about I felt like Humana was trying to kill me and on and on. I used some very mild foul language (God forgive me) but the sweet Humana rep stayed with me, all the while consoling me. Finally, after I jabbered off all the horrible physical indications of my physical state via medical procedures and tests that justified the medications in question, the young man asked me if I had access to a fax machine, which miraculously (and I won’t get into that right now – just trust me it is a miracle) I do. He asked me to fax him the procedures and tests paperwork, which I did. It was pretty late in the day by the time I did that. My fax machine confirmed the fax had gone through successfully. Then early yesterday morning, I got a telephone call from the same young man who explained to me that the fax had been received and that both medications had been approved by Humana for my lifetime. 
YAY GOD! I asked to speak to his supervisor and when she got on the line, I couldn’t praise the young man enough for his kindness, compassion, patience and for his invaluable assistance. The supervisor assured me he would receive the credit he deserves. I couldn’t thank God or the young man enough. I had been going through this hard ordeal with Humana for so long and here it was, all resolved in a good manner. Now, does that make for a good day or what?
I had so many good things happen yesterday (I won’t list the rest, just trust me) that I didn’t even get a chance to post in this journal. It’s the first day I had missed posting since I started using pressword.com.
Now one might ask why doesn’t God just heal me. I personally know that He can but His will for me right now is to be served by these great men and women of the medical profession, who God loves and uses equally, to perform His good works through them. Sometimes, God will perform a medical miracle and confound all the unbelievers, but for me and many others, He simply chooses to bless us with people who serve God and mankind. I thank God for them.
Well, I have much to do today. I trust that this too will be a wonderful and awesome day. I wish I could share my joy and the enthusiasm I feel right now with everyone. Maybe it will rub off on the few that God chooses to bring into my life today.
Peace and love, Out! Linda
