Taking recommendations for a new Primary Care Physician. I really super like Dr. Hamer, but he's cancelled on me twice now. Also, his wait time is redonk.
Even if you've suggested someone before do it again so I don't have to go back and look, please.
I've officially ruled out Dr. Keel and Dr. Hamer so don't bother to suggest them.
Thanks. ❤
I picked up my cat Snaga who doesn't normally like to be picked up. She totally put her head on my shoulder and hugged me back. LOVE IT. 😃❤
Shadow was eating lemons and Emma REALLY wanted a piece so he gave it to her.
The look of betrayal was PRICELESS. 😂😂😂
Tort Baby is awake! SUPER YAY! 😃
Algebra was canceled because my teacher was sick. If I'd have checked my messages I would have known that before I got to the school, but I didn't. So I talked to people (go me!) and then went to my computer class super early and got some stuff done.
I'm feeling pretty good about things - still just crazy tired. I guess that is to be expected, though.
I gotta run. The sweetest tort ever is hanging out with me. Quality times! 😃❤
It's seriously only Thursday? 🙁
It's been a rough week. I haven't even hung out with Tort Baby since Sunday. Both of us have been too tired. I need a long weekend. Two days just isn't enough for housework, homework, AND relaxing before I have to do it all over again. 😕
Algebra dismissed early. 🙁 Now I'm in my car eating Cheetos. 🙂 I bet I have time to tell you about my sucktacular day.
Shadow was sick again today so I took him to the doctor. Who am I kidding? I only wish it had been that simple.
I took him to the last doctor's office he'd been to (a walk-in clinic), and when I got there they said they didn't take his insurance (Medicaid). I thought that was weird, but went to my car to call Medicaid to find out where I could take him.
Well, after 45 minutes on hold (with the most awful hold music blaring the whole time), I was told that my child does not have Medicaid. So I call AllKids because I'm fairly sure I'm not such a careless person that I've let my child go without insurance. AllKids says that I do not have a policy with them, but that he is, in fact, on Medicaid.
I explain to them that I just got off the phone with Medicaid and that they said he wasn't covered. She said "I can see it right here. Let me tell you the policy number."
So I wrote it down and called Medicaid back. When it became apparent that I would probably be on hold another 45 minutes I hung up and went online. Got registered to see his account and printed a proof of insurance so I could take him somewhere.
Apparently when I was kicked off of AllKids for being too broke they sent the application to Medicaid, (who approved me), but never sent a new card. So when I called Medicaid earlier and gave them the number on the card they were right - it had been cancelled. But you would think there would have been a way for them to see the new policy, too. Or that they would care enough to check and not leave a sick child hanging.
Anyway, then came the ordeal with the doctor appointment. Medicaid doesn't cover walk-in clinics so I guess Shadow went to one when he was on AllKids. So I had to find a doctor that could see him today (which was NOT easy since it was after noon at this point), then designate them to be his primary physician so that freaking Medicaid would cover his appointment.
Oh, and guess what's wrong with him? THE KID HAS A COLD. Looks like a gnarly one, but still.
I worked a whopping 2 hours today and got so frustrated with all the things I was dealing with that I was ready to tear my hair out - OVER A COLD - aka: something that no one can do anything about. 🙁
Dang. If I thought Monday was rough it's only because I didn't know what Tuesday had in store for me. I'll tell you all about it later.
Right now I gotta brush my hair, calm down, and get to class. 😳
