Small victory against a big company

Posted by For Inventors at 28 September, 2007, 12:46 pm

The biggest news of the week is that insurance company FINALLY paid my bills for my boobies!!!? YAHOO!!!!? It’s only been 13+ months now!? My doctor’s office has been saying this whole time not to worry, that my insurance was very much being a pain in the butt, but that they had hope. ?They had denied my reconstruction this whole time and FINALLY paid.? Even the poor girl at the doctor’s office that has been fighting this battle for me with the company said she felt like she won the lottery!? That was SUCH a big burden.? The reconstruction alone was $45,000.00!!!? (That was just to make me new ones… that didn’t include taking the other ones off!!)? Who has that kind of cash lying around???!!!!? ?

Okay, back to business…My sourcing agent says we are still on track for receiving the 50 by the end of November.? I met with my Merchant Account manager guy this morning and he is now in contact with my web designer so I can join this century and participate in the world we know as “E-Commerce”.? Before the credit card processing people will submit my application to the underwriters, the credit card companies require that my policies, including shipping, returns and security, be listed on the website.? Up until a week ago mine were not on there because I hadn’t decided what they where.? I thought it was somewhat putting the cart before the horse by having policies for a site that didn’t have a product yet, but I totally understand it’s necessary, so my web guy put them up.? ?

Janene (With Trending Solutions www.trendingsolutions.com) and I worked very hard yesterday to finalize details for the Mompreneurs? girls getaway.? /phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11303The poor girl was working so hard to get all the ducks in a row, meanwhile I was hosting playgroup and she had to be subjected to hearing several screaming kids in the background while trying to make some very important decisions.? I guess it wouldn’t be a Mompreneurs ? weekend if we weren’t “Mompreneuring” while making the arrangements.? Par for the course! ?
