My mind is spinning right now. I'm kind of a mess, actually...have been since last night. So much on my mind, I'm having a hard time focusing to type it out.
I didn't feel well yesterday, it was obvious I was coming down with something. I was so tired I couldn't see straight, but I couldn't rest enough to go to bed. I woke this morning with some yellow crap in my chest that rattles when I breathe as well as a deep chested cough. I sound like I could sing bass! Daughter #2 called and thought she had the wrong number LOL!
Daughter #2 injured her knee a while back in a broomball game and it refuses to get better, so her roommates mom, who is a nurse told her she should have it looked at. When she called the Drs. office today she couldn't get in because according to their records she was no longer his patient because she hadn't been to see him in 3 years!! I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING!! He's been her Dr. since she came into this world! Here we are, without any insurance or means of affording any, trying to be healthy so we don't have to visit the Dr. so we can keep our bills down and then they kick us out! I can't win!! To top it all off, half the time when we WANT to get in, they are full and they send us to the hospital's clinic. Just this fall she was seen in the ER and reported him as her primary Dr. and every time she is forced to go to the clinic she reports him as her primary...that should count! They didn't know of any other's who were taking new patients! I'm so angry right now I can't see straight. What are we supposed to do? Just get sick and die, I guess! To top it all off, I'm thinking there is more to this than meets the eye, as Hubby went to see the same Dr. recently and hadn't been in to see him in 8 years...probably more and he got in just fine. Something is very wrong here. We are personal friends with this Dr. and I hate to call in any special favors, but I'm a "she bear" right now and my cub is in trouble. I teach his daughter piano lessons and so I sent a note home with her telling him the situation and asked him to call me. I need to see what is really going on and if we can get her reestablished as his patient. I think this is just the beginning of some awful health care issues to come! We are in BIG trouble folks!!
This Saturday is the Music Teacher's Association's Achievement Testing and after last year, I'm very stressed out about it and to top it all off the gloomy weather is finally taking it's toll on me in a major way. I am fighting the blues, and starting to lose. I need spring. Now with no TV, it is so quiet in here and nothing to take my mind off my troubles. I'm getting loonie!!!!
Finally the evening is nearly over...hopefully rest will come soon.
Oh heck, Julie. I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling so bad, and then have worries about your daughter on top of it. Praying for both of you!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just doesn't seem fair for everything to pile on you at one time. I am sorry you are sick, and then your daughter's problems too. This old winter weather is enough to make us all down and blue. Hopefully, the situation with the doctor will be resolved and the sun will come out again.
ReplyDeleteOh Julie.... I just want to give you a hug right now. I'm late reading this so I'm hoping things are a little better. I said a prayer for you and your daughter. God's blessings coming your way. ♥
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you aren't feeling well! And to have to deal with all of this doctor issue stuff has to make it worst! I used to work at a doctors office and my guess there is a front desk person who is not doing their job correctly. We had this problem when I was an office manager. The woman who was taking the phone calls simply didn't feel like scheduling a patients that had not been there in a while (too much paperwork for her to do!). Needless to say I fired her. I sure hope your daughter will be able to get in and see him!
