Aha!

The independent KePro review company has denied Kaiser insurance's 4th mindless attempt to discharge me.

Admittedly, KePro upheld Kaiser on my first appeal before changing its mind on my second appeal.

(Actually, my sister takes care of the appeals while I loll in bed.)

I wonder if Kaiser just tries to discharge patients every two weeks without bothering to read the charts?

In other news, I'm not afraid to change my mind.

I now hate the damned dynamic splint, which hurts now, but is slowly forcing my hand toward my shoulder.

The ugly trick is to crank it up a notch tighter every five minutes when things stretch and bother me less.

I also learned that the recorded message at Kaiser's Denver site isn't joking when it urges callers to change any Monday appointments because Mondays are very busy.

I left by ambulance at 7 a.m. Monday for a routine follow-up exam at 8:10 a.m. and returned five hours later at noon.

On the bright side, I have two different schemes for putting 75% of my weight on my right leg that will astonish Matt the Physical Therapist.

(Probably he'll be astonished by how foolish I am.)

And next week I start putting weight on my left leg while wearing a stylish brace to prevent any wobbling.
