I am not virtuous I guess. I have not heard anything yet from the surgeon. I am still hoping that they can fit my surgery in this year so I don’t have to meet my deductible again. Then of course there is the fact that I may not be able to afford to maintain my insurance after then end of this year. That would be a whole other problem. Cobra is kind of expensive!
I am not really able to be up for long periods of time now which has pretty much put any photography on hold. Unless I find something that I can shoot pretty quickly. I don’t leave the house for more than maybe a half hour at a time so I can’t even handle church at the moment, that one is really killing me. I have to reposition myself every few minutes in order to be comfortable in this chair, and after awhile that doesn’t work either. Like right now, I really want to go lay down but I really want to finish this post also.
I guess that is all I really have at the moment, I thought I had more in me than this, but apparently I am empty!
You need one of them there social worker, case manager-type, patient advocate people pulling for you there. I’d call your local hospital and see if they offer something like that. Cause, dammit, you have a problem.
If they can’t hook you up, I’d be calling the surgeon’s office every single day. I know you can do that. You can talk on the phone (please tell me you got your phone!) in bed and harass away.
Did you ever see the movie with William Hurt where he plays a doctor who suddenly finds himself in the role of a patient and finds out how shitty it is to be on this end of the stick? I wish I could remember the name of it, it might be The Doctor. Good movie anyway.
Or mail a copy of the Hippocratic Oath to his office every day.
Wishing you a quick remedy to the problem. And prayers, too.
I’d listen to the lady. She sounds like she’s not to be messed with on this one, and neither should you…
While I’m here, I may as well wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
I get so annoyed with doctors. They don’t seem to “get it”
I hope things get better.
