It's official. I am diseased.

I have the antibiotic, inhaler, cough medicine, and three boxes of Puffs Plus with lotion to prove it.

There was much panic on my part this morning when I called my doctor of 20 years to ask to be seen only to be told that my doctor no longer accepts MDIPA insurance. This was quite a shock to us. I finally got to see my doctor by agreeing to pay cash for the appointment. I had to see SOMEBODY as I was supposed to go to work tomorrow. If I was diseased I needed a doctors note stating so and that it would be better if I kept my disease to myself, thank-you-very-much.

I also spent much time this morning hunting for a new primary care physician near us and getting the paperwork we need to become their patients. This means I turn the paper work in and then make appointments for all us for our "new patient" appointments.

While visiting my old doctor I took the records transfer authorizations to get that ball rolling.

The physicians assistant was concerned that I did not have Health Insurance. I said but I DO have insurance, you just don't accept it any more. Then she asks can you pay for your prescriptions? I said YES I have prescription coverage, it's just that you don't accept it anymore. *head desk*

and they wondered why my blood pressure was high when I went in......

Oh well, I'm back home, in my jammies, and I am happy again.
