Lots to Do, Lots of Spending, Lots of sitting on my butt!

June 6th, 2012 at 06:04 pm

Yesterday, I did what I was told: RESTED.

I also accomplished many other things:

1. Called into work to start my Short-term disability procedings. At this point it should only be 2-3 weeks. I get paid 100% up to 10 weeks, so there will be no income loss. Just annoying paperwork & a fee of $25 for the dcotors paperwork fee (also annoying!)

2. Made 2 pitchers of lemonade (used a chair to rest my leg while doing anything in the kitchen), passed through a cup & one of the pitchers through the kitchen passthrough to the living room. Saves on trips all day long. Additionally made individual refillable water bottles of lemonade to put into the fridge (used later to carry drinks upstairs for the night). Also made a quick pasta salad & ran the dishwasher. All with the crutches or foot on a chair Smile

3. Called & negotiated car insurance and set up payment for the upcoming year.

4. Renewed my AAA membership

5. Started free 30 day trial to Amazon Prime (can view through Roku) - will help entertaining my couch-bound butt Smile Will be cancelling the acct prior to any charge.

6. Paid medical bills. Followed up on claims through insurance.

7. Turned a/c off & opened up windows Smile Free fresh air!

8. Added codes into Mycokerewards

9. Watched a lot of roku (netflix & amazon prime)

TODAY, I went to breakfast with my parents, gave my mom a grocery list & am back home eating leftover salad from the other day.

My goals for today are:

1. Keep foot up
2. Make lunch at home (check)
3. Make dinner at home (check)
4. Work on Mypoints, cashcrate, bing rewards, inboxdollars, ect
5. Make budget for next pay period
6. Find free things to do while couch bound. I have jigsaw puzzles, tv, netflix/amazon prime, free magazines, soduku books, kindle free books, cell phone games.

I also am fighting to get my refund from physical therapy asap. They are dragging & I could use the funds.

    Are you fighting with the insurance company over the PT fee? That is crazy. They should be grateful that you are actually trying to complete your PT (many do not) to reduce the chance that you could lead to another injury! Good luck, I hope it all works out well.

    The problem with the PT is that I went out of network in 2012, because of a switch in insurance between 2011-2012 & I had actually broken the wrist in Dec. So I made a deal with the PT people that they would bill my insurance, but since I have not met the deductable & the insurance would not pay, they would accept $20 per visit from me. There were 12 visits.

    What they did not count on is my stupid insurance (not knowing of this deal) paid them out of my medical reimbursement/HSA accounts automatically for the full billed amount. So before my MRA/HSA were depleted, they received approx $580 from me, when they were only owed $240. So I am owed a refund. Its just they don't seem to know how to do that. LOL. Chuckleheads - and I HATE this insurance.
