Eh, stuff.....

There's not much really to say, except maybe a slight guilt for not posting in almost a week. A week? Wow, what a slacker I've turned into, eh? :)

I did recieve news on the WLS, actually have known that for awhile and just realized that I hadn't posted about it yet. It's a go. The stupid insurance girl that I spoke to told me that Dr Nease was not in network, but that turned out to be false. The insurance girl from Dr Nease's office called and he IS in network so that was pretty great news. I actually recieved my first bill from his office. Ugh. Not so great news. They only paid $14 of the bill which means I'm obligated to pay $201.60; now the way I understand it I'll have to pay 80% up to $1100 then they'll pick up from there. Now if I'm understanding that correctly, then "YIPPEE"; however since insurance companies refuse to convey to you in Layman terms what's covered and what's not, I'm going to forward this info to the insurance lady from Dr. Nease's office. I'm sure she'll make better sense of it then I can. Meanwhile, on the back end of things I'm getting ready to do my 2nd eval with my PCP on the 23rd and also working on scheduling the dietician. I've opted to travel to Huntington to complete that, I figure that one whom has dealt with Dr Nease's patients before is gonna know exactly what needs to be done. I'd hate to go to some bozo up here and they end up not providing the info that the insurance requires. Besides, I'd rather deal with his close by affiliates as opposed to someone he doesn't know. I also have to get more blood work and also another EKG. He wants to be sure that the "abnormal" EKG was from lead placement rather than something we need to check into a bit more. I'll feel a bit more comfortable about it all once Jackie (Dr Nease's insurance girl) reads over the email I got about coverage. I swear I can't make heads or tails of it. Want to feel as dumb as a rock? Get an email from your insurance company who is trying to explain your benefits. Out of network, in network, in network deductible, out of network deductible.... who can make heads or tails of it? Blah, I'll leave that up to the professionals. All I care to hear is "Yes". If I hear anything other than that, there's liable to be bloodshed. No names given.... yet.

Other then that, home life is... well, wonderful. There's absolutely nothing I can complain about there. OHHHHHH, hold up. I do wanna whine a bit here. My husband, yes that wonderful handsome sweet man that I married..... first let me just say the man didn't even realize that Sunday is Easter. With that said; I find out that he has Friday AND Monday off...... eh, get this..... paid. ARGH!!!! How is that even right? I work both days and we don't even get Easter as a paid holiday. "Because everyone doesn't celebrate Easter". Well la te da. I do, hence I should get it at least paid. Yeah. And the work day off before Easter to clean my house and get ready for the feast. Well, as Joel's dad used to say; "Wish in one hand......." I advised my husband since he has Friday off then he should be a good little husband and clean up the house a bit. I snickered as I said it, but actually kind of meant it. He went beyond snickering, he bellowed with laughter. I told him I was kinda of being serious, he continued to bellow with laughter. I'll remember that when we're old and gray and my husband does a do-do in his Depend and he yells for his loving wife.... we'll see who'll be bellowing with laughter then!

Work is, well work. What can I say? It's not bad and it's not great. If it were bad I'd sob every night like I did when I worked at Allegheny, if it were great then I'd be able to make the money I am now (or more) and do it from home. Have my husband for lunch.... er uh, eat lunch with my husband (sorry, did I say that out loud? My bad) and then just go into another room when the work day was complete. Thinking about that just makes me wonder... I could probably do that if I were to move in with one of the residents. Ack! Nah, I'll drive to work and drive home. Yeah that's a great idea.

Well that's the scoop. I'll keep an update as I'm sure I have at least one avid follower.... NOT.
