Just a reminder to be safe, guys. Life can blind side you and happen real fast.
My doctor's office in RI keeps sending me notes about missing appointments that I haven't scheduled. I had one back in January which I had called and cancelled but they apparently didn't cancel it appropriately because I got a notice a few weeks later saying I missed my appointment. I never rescheduled it so I haven't missed anymore. It is now basically 8 months later and they are still sending me these passive aggressive type notes with the most recent saying I've missed or cancelled several appointments and that I will be asked to seek healthcare elsewhere.
Is it possible to appeal their decision?Been having intense back pain for six weeks. Meds aren't working that well and am now having trouble walking without a lot of pain. Doc wants Two MRIs but insurance won't pay for them. Bleh..
I'm so sorry . I'm sending lots of hugs to you.I'm pretty sure my unofficial LDR ended today and it hurts and I'm acting like an melodramatic overly emotional 13 year old and I don't like it but I can't seem to help it and I don't know what to do with myself.
Supposed to be going to the beach tomorrow if the weather cooperates. Don't know if I'm gonna try dating or not. As a rule, I'm way too awkward to date. This guy was an anomaly becayse we were friends and roommates first. I've long thought that I'm just one of those people not meant to be in a relationship and this basically just re-affirmed that. I can't deal with this.
I did appeal and won which was good but my deductible is so high that I don't have the money it would take to get one anyways sadly. Going to see if it gets better, but if not I'm going to figure something out.Is it possible to appeal their decision?
I'm sorry about your back pain though I've had a large disc bulge for the past 4 weeks and the pain at the beginning was not fun at all (thankfully mines started to go away some and I can actually walk now)
ahhhI did appeal and won which was good but my deductible is so high that I don't have the money it would take to get one anyways sadly. Going to see if it gets better, but if not I'm going to figure something out.
Glad to hear your back is doing a bit better though Ski! Back problems suck.

Oh no ... sorry.When you buy a $7 birthday card for your fiancé who's stationed overseas and you get home and it's on the receipt but not in any of the bags
Sorry to hear about that Coquette
You are allowed to feel sad and upset over a lost connection like that. It tough losing someone who was close to you, and that in no way makes you any less of an adult human being for feeling that way.
I'm so sorry Coquette. Don't rush into dating if you're not ready is the one thing I've learned recently. I'm a little over a year out from my last relationship and I'm only just really sticking my neck out there. No matter how things end, it almost always hurts and each person needs to grieve/heal in their own way. **hugs**
At least you're not pregnant!TMI Warning: On Tuesday I got my period (adhering well to Michelle Wolf's Outside Cat theory, it came 5 days early) and suddenly my colossal meltdown made complete sense. I'm okay now and re-examination, was dramatically over interpreting and we're fine.
Stupid ****ing hormones.
We got a piece of furniture delivered a month ago and they knew they had to bring it in the house and knew it weighed 450 lbs (two pieces for a bar including a granite top, totaling 450 lbs) and they sent only 2 guys, so they had fun lifting that, while complaining the whole time.Our moving company showed up today to deliver our stuff. They only sent one freaking mover. I'm fascinated to see how he is going to carry our very large couch, love seat, entertainment system, and king sized bed up to our second floor apartment by himself.

Let me know if I can help with that.This is predominantly a rant but I received a text message today from the owners of one of my first patients as a 4th year vet student. I had him on my I'M rotation and they have periodically sent me picture updates of him. (They have my cell # cause I offered to come in on a day off so they could visit during weekend hr). Well today they texted me to say they unfortunately had to euthanize him yesterday but thanked me for helping give them 2 more years with them.
I had been wondering how he's been doing and I'm sooo beyond touched that they thought to reach out and let me know. However im also heartbroken for them. Im going to see if anyone can look up their address for me so I can send a card.
Let me know if I can help with that.
I'm sorry. PM me if you ever need to.Why must everything in life be so competitive
I'm sorry. PM me if you ever need to.
(Also have fun tonight )
Haha there's too many of us. I didn't go last night, but I'll be there tomorrow.Thanks! Are you going? I still need to figure out who you are lol
I just missed. Hope all is ok.

I'm sorry egg I wish things could be simple. I hope the issue gets better with time.So I had jaw surgery ~8.5 weeks ago, and going into surgery it was going to be double jaw- break both jaws and orientate them as necessary. Primary complaint was that my teeth couldn't touch- only 2 teeth in my entire mouth touched. Secondary complaint is that my jaw popped and clicked often when I opened it. Surgery would fix all of my issues.
We got into the surgery and they decided that they could actually do the entire surgery without messing with the mandible, and it didn't have to be broken like the maxilla did. Which was great! Except it didn't fix the jaw popping, which is now increasingly more frequent. (It's popped 5 times since writing this post). I asked the surgeon about it and he basically said "well... since we were able to do only maxilla for the primary complaint, the popping wasn't important enough to warrant fixing the mandible." He then assured me that most people deal with popping jaws all the time. Which is fine and all, I just wish I would've gotten all of the benefits I was expecting from the surgery besides just reorientating my mouth. I'm not mad, I'm just kinda disappointed.
I had a similar experience with my ear surgery this summer. I had a perforated eardrum that needed replacing because my hearing was starting to get bad and it was at risk for infection. I asked if it would also get rid of constant ringing in my ears and he said it's possible. So I went in hoping for the best, but it's sadly not the case. Still fairly constant ringing, but it at least might be a little softer. Or I've just gotten used to blocking it out finally haha.So I had jaw surgery ~8.5 weeks ago, and going into surgery it was going to be double jaw- break both jaws and orientate them as necessary.

Definitely hoping you get answers 'cuz you need some answers.My face is tingling, my head is pounding, breathing is interesting..... my left side is weak. I really hope I get answers tomorrow because I'm not sure I can do this much longer.

My dog is supposed to get neutered tomorrow, but this past weekend he was a little weird about stopping in the middle of walks to lay down. I chalked it up to being really hot and humid. On Monday we went to a friend's lake and he ran and swam all day and also did dumb things like jumping up on tables because he's a dope. That afternoon/evening he was super polyuric. Yesterday we went for a pretty normal 4 mile walk and he did okay but then in the evening started to be intermittently lame on his left pelvic limb. He's still polyuric too. So now I have a neuter appointment for him tomorrow and am concerned that he has some systemic disease. Sometimes I hate not being in practice where I can just deal with these things on my own.
My brain turns to jelly when it's my own pets anyway, so I'm okay passing them off to someone trusted and saying "halp plz."
Hopefully he just pulled something being an overactive derp. I suppose the neuter could get moved if the worry was enough...
