Hey!

It worked! My HMO agreed to cover chiropractic treatment for that symphysis pain. I cut out the very goofiest parts of my letter, but it went into the mail with a fair amount of residual goofy. I've been going for regular adjustments because they are helpful and the pain has really been limiting, but I've also been wincing at the out-of-pocket cost. Let's hope they cough up quickly.

The one thing that gives me pause is a bold-faced line in the letter saying that X-rays are required. I expect that they have the sense to waive that requirement for a pregnant woman, but it won't really surprise me if they give me some grief about it. I am giggling to myself, imagining the letter I will write if they tell me to get X-rayed.
