Every Now and Then I Fall Apart ...
Well, it seems that for some reason when we got home last night we suddenly had cable once again. Now we just have to fight with them to get credit for the 10 days we were without it that they haven't given us credit for and then we are done. beldar called the IPD and confirmed that no actual officers work for the cable company but they do employ an occasional off-duty one for security. However, they are not allowed to call, harrass and/or threaten people.
I'm trying to get my dental insurance to allow me to get a free consult with another dentist but it's looking like I have to wait until January when my six-month cleaning would be scheduled. They seem to not care that the current guy refuses to do fillings and will only do crowns. I get the feeling from them that all dentists are going that way.
As for the medical front, I spoke with beldar last night and he agrees with me. I have a follow-up mammogram scheduled in six months. They spent 30 minutes on Monday searching my breast over and couldn't find even the smallest lump or imperfection. I reviewed the films with the doctor on Monday and couldn't see anything either. Therefore, If anything actually is there, it'll still be there in six months and it might be easier to find then. Neither of us feels it necessary for me to be needlessly poked and prodded and stressed unduely just because this one place is afraid of a possible lawsuit if something exists that they couldn't find. Also, I'm filing a formal complaint about both places for their treatment of me and trying to scare me needlessly (they really did pull some amazing shit throughout this whole thing and I'm not going to stand for it and I never want to hear that they pulled this shit on someone else - who may not be informed enough and be terrified needlessly).
Just a reminder, I'm not shunning doctors altogether. I'm just going to go on a brief hiatus from them until I can better deal with their shit. Of course, if my insurance would let me take my prescription in the first place, I probably wouldn't be so bitchy and would put up with all of this bullshit but they refuse to allow me that simple human dignity.
Ok, I'm done bitching for now.
Before I go, I would like to thank everyone for caring about me and their great inspirational advice. It's nice to know that at least someone things I matter.
More later if possible.
TTFN!
