Kicked out



The insurance company informed us today that they will no longer pay for Linda's speech therapy. Apparently we don't even have an outpatient speech therapy benefit, and they feel they have been generous in paying for what they have already. Linda's speech is described as 75% accurate and that is "good enough." They expect her to be able to do the rest on her own.

Linda and I are a bit disappointed to learn this.

Some good news: Linda's double vision is improving some. We went to the eye doctor, and she is going to try a thinner prism on her glasses this week. I expect it to take a bit of adjusting to, and then she'll be that much closer to normal. Right now, her prism is 6 diopters, which means it moves the image of things that are 1m away by 6cm. Her new prism will be 5 diopters.
