Back in the Saddle again...

So here we are again, back in the saddle again. This ain't my first rodeo, I held my 8 seconds last time, we will see how we do this round. I contacted the director of the Kentfield facility, and was told he is still eligible for their program. It turns out they had only authorized the hospital payment for 1 week. This ain't the hospital's first rodeo with WC either it seems. They have danced before. It seems there has been a time or two where they have authorized a very short segment of time, only to have payment refused for continued care. Their position is that they have to have preauthorization for an adequate length of stay before they will go through the whole process of moving him. So what does all that mean? The ball is back in their court. They said they would send him to Kentfield, but time will tell if they were sincere in that intention or if they were just paying me lip service. It is all lined up. The bull is in the chute. It is their job to open the gate. If they do not authorize the stay, then I will know they have been stalling again. Again wasting his precious time, for their own money game. If that is the case, it will make me angry. Very angry. I hope that is not the case. Both the doctors at Kentfield and the doctors at their own suggested facility Sutter, agree on a very important point. He needs to be moved. NOW. He needs an aggressive course of treatment, and it needs to start now. It is the only way we will know what he might be capable of. We don't know what this time has cost him, what it is costing him as it ticks away. For now, we are back in the saddle again. Waiting for that chute to open......
