Hello Everyone.

I know this is going to be a bit off topic but it is important so im going to write it anyway. You all must be familiar with Kohai. She is one of the staff here at chess.com who helps erik keep this site running efficiently for us all so we can all enjoy our time here.

   Those of us who have become friendly with her know how much pain she has been in waiting for surgery for the last few years. Once again the insurance companies are putting it off and delaying surgery that she desperately needs to start feeling like herself again. 

   Could you all do me a favor(actually Kohai a favor, im the messenger) and click the link below and sign a petition she started. So that perhaps the right people will hear her plight. I really appreciate the few minutes you take to do this for her.    Warm Regards, Laurie aka sleeping-beauty

   Click here now and sign the petition for her please.

Signed and shared on FB.  I'm on disability and in constant pain myself, so I know how you feel, kohai.  Good luck.

Signed. Sorry she is going through this. I know how bad pain can get. Had back surgery in 06 and have been disabled ever since. Hope she gets some relief soon.

Her insurance company has decided her surgery should be elective surgery. The insurance companies will try to get out of paying anything they can.

long-term morphine for pain? That is very sad... I hope that this gets cleared up soon.

Mr_Tarkanian

How much would the surgeries cost if out of pocket?  And i wonder with the surgeries if there's even a guarantee that it will completely correct the entire situation.

Side note, I was shocked when I read that Sleeping Beauty's real name is Laurie.  I hate when people lie about their names.

Was that trolling in such a serious topic necessary?

Mr_Tarkanian

To lighten the mood, Timothy.  That sometimes is more important than anything.  I hate when people constantly use that silly "trolling" word.  Goodness.

When I'm down in the dumps, I like to have everyone around me keep me in a down mood - hate when people try to lighten it.
