Week 5, day 2: insurance fun

Knee still more painful and sensitive around incision site. Took one ibuprofen 4 hrs before bed, then another 2 hrs before, then another right before bed (figured the first one was "expired" by then). Slept well, but could feel it in the morning when I woke up.

Did a set of ROM exercises when I got home, but forgot to hop on the stationary bike at work. Need to NOT forget to do that. Still need to do another set of ROM exercises and the stretches before bed. Not sure if I'll do that just yet.

Got a bill from the hospital for the MRI, $1550, and the X-Ray, $122. Both services were supposed to be covered entirely by insurance and the MRI was not given until pre-approval. The note on the bill says "insurance denied." I hope it's some silly little error and not the start of some immense battle with the insurance co.
