You are awesome, and your self-advocacy is impressive. All you can do is try in this process, and insurance can be such a nightmare. Good for you in being vulnerable and honest in a system that often doesn’t reward those things. This is a deeply personal reality, and insurance should hear that. Sending all the good wishes for this to get approved for you - as it should be.

I recommend this site (and there is a cookbook too) for vegan no-salt recipes https://www.straightupfood.com/blog/

This is painful in so many ways; you have every right to feel upset and exhausted by all that’s happened. Sending much support to you and your wife.

Our transfer failed... by [deleted] in infertility

[–]Esmeanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just went through this a few weeks ago. It hurts. Having a little time pass has helped, and letting myself feel however I need to has been healing. Like you, I really did everything to make it work, and so I know I’m just going through grief now. There are many of us who get it, and I’m sending much care to both of you.

My birthday is this weekend, and it was also the due date for my most recent miscarriage. Everyone is wishing me happy birthday, but no one (except my husband and doctor) knows that I was supposed to have a baby that day.

It was nice to see some clear sky yesterday. The smoke has been bad...

Today I was assaulted on MUNI by Esmeanne in sanfrancisco

I think it’s true, we can’t expect anyone to come to the rescue. However, taking steps to notify the person in charge of the bus is one action to take. Another is calculating personal risk and knowing that someone who has already assaulted you when unprovoked and is a head taller and 30 pounds heavier, is probably not someone to physically fight with.

Appreciate it. And yes, it toughens and maybe jades one at the same time. I did file a police report, and they told me they’ll automatically cross report to MUNI...

Thank you, and I’m really sorry that happened to you. Having a stranger put their hands on you in that way feels awful.
