just a girl begging the medical billing people to submit things to my insurance correctly the first time so i don’t have to call a million people to fix it. with 🫶 from my $10,000 anesthesia & $2000 mri bills they didn’t send to insurance 😒

this recovery has been traumatic and draining mentally and physically and isn’t over by any means but being cleared to drive again after 7 weeks is so uplifting to have some independence back☺️

[Kayla Hepler @heplerkay]

finally some positive news from my surgeon post ACL surgery with severe complications. feeling very grateful for a kind, intelligent and compassionate surgeon and immense support system in @CharlesDhong lab, friends, and family. Onwards I go on this 9-12 month recovery journey 🥰
