Friday, Feb. 12, 2021 – Frustrating Day

Hi Sweetie,
Spent the morning getting the inside of the truck cleaned up and my tools put away, then headed down to Wellington for an electrocardiogram. On the way I got a call from the WPB office saying that somewhere along the line no one request approval from the insurance company for my stress test on Monday, and with out it, they couldn’t do it. After the test I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to get an answer about the approval, only to get a late message saying my appointment had been cancelled because the request was still “pending.” So the two hours I spent on Wednesday setting up that appointment went out the window, and unless they can get another appointment scheduled in time, which is doubtful, they’re likely to call of the surgery and the whole domino affect that will cause is just unthinkable. If I can’t get this all done before my insurance runs out, I may not be able to get it done for years. It’s all so stupid, and just because someone at the cardiologist’s office dropped the ball and didn’t make the approval request on Wednesday like they should have done. GRRRRRRR! I’m so ticked off I can’t see straight. I’m the one who has to suffer, possibly for months or years, just because of someone elses’ lack of follow-through. I hate this system, when an insurance company dictates what care you’re allowed to get. I wasted another couple of hours on the phone trying to fix it, but then was told it was under control, then later told my appointment had already been cancelled. I have to stop ranting, but it really does make me ANGRY! Anyway, I finally settled down late (I kept trying to resolve something right up to about 8:00, but of course, no one works on the weekend so I didn’t get anywhere), now I’m heading for shower and bed, trying not to seethe too much, and not being very successful. Grrrrr! Love you, darlin’. Good night!
