PAYPAL SUCKS!!
Just a quick blog about how much PayPal sucks!
I called PayPal last week TRYING to login because I forgot my password. Once I got a human being on the phone she kept asking me for my CC number, but of course the one that I had on file was expired so I didn’t have the card or the number. After arguing back and forth the lady got more info and I was able to reset my password.
This morning I get an email saying “You sent a payment of $60.00 USD to Skype (billing@skype.net)” following with a “Like hell i did!”. So apparently I got hosed! I immediately removed my credit card and bank account from the account and called PayPal. They submitted a claim and I have to wait 10 days to receive my funds back. UGH!
I will be closing my PayPal account once this issue is resolved. But anyway, PAYPAL SUCKS!!

Hit a speed bump in the 'Dexcom Adventure'
I received a call from Edgepark (the company I have to go through who is ‘In Network’) and they reviewed my benefits with me and said that I was ready to go with ordering my CGM. The sales lady totaled up my device and 2 months worth of sensor and said “You total will be $1200 would you like to put this on your charge card?”, slightly taken back I asked “is there a payment plan?” like a poor man standing on a street corner with dirty feet. Come to find out that Edgepark collects upfront for all medical devices.
[Insert road block here]
Discouraged, I made a call into my Dexcom guy, Brian, and asked if he has any suggestions or $1200. He said Plan B would be to order it through Dexcom, which is ‘Out of Network’ and make 3 installments on the device and 2 months of supplies. So at least another door has opened but I’m starting to think this CGM business isn’t in the cards for me.
So I have a phone call to make to Brian tomorrow with a decision whether or not I’m going to go through with it….stay tuned and send $$$
