Today: Cons--After 12 years of not seeing a dentist*, I have 3 cavities and need my first root canal Pros-- My new dentist is really nice I met Paul Feig just strolling on 5th Avenue! (*I KNOW, OKAY, I KNOW...but some of us only recently achieved Dental Insurance!!)
Love my recent medical bills including the note: “WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT TO SETTLE THIS ACCOUNT” Like, thank you for this “A FOR EFFORT” patronizing and for allowing me to pettily breakdown your totals into 18 monthly payments. I know you prefer 3 or 6. BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT TO BARELY TOLERATE THE SCRAPS I THROW AT YOU MONTHLY
Me @Me - It’s OK I didn’t get anything “productive” done today on my day off considering what I *did* get done today was get diagnosed with bronchitis.
This has been an important reminder.
American medical billing or...why I don’t ever pay bills by their printed “due date”
Date of Service: March 2019 Bill received (didn’t pay): April 2019 >$60 Bill received (didn’t pay): May 2019 >$60 ~MORE STRONGLY WORDED BILL~ received: June 2019 >$60 Log into the bill pay website with the account number of the above bill to set up a payment plan: Remaining Balance: ~$11 1-yay! 2-How did this happen? 3-Call a human to confirm this balance is actually true (it is!) 4-Yay! 5-Strategy of doing literally nothing and letting paperwork eventually catch up validated
so uh
My neck looks like this now:
And I’m cranky because my throat is sore from having to be moved aside for my surgeons to get that implant into the front of my cervical spine. And I’m walking around like an old person because they shaved the top of my pelvic bone for the grafting material needed to be laid over the metal there. Anyway. This has been an update post. And I’ll probably be in bed really early again tonight.
Me at the hospital
So I’m doing all my preOp stuff for spinal surgery today (🤞🤞) while wearing scrubs pants and the nurse checking me in asked if *I* was a nurse at which point I said no the scrubs were for a cosplay but were comfy as pjs too.
Anyway that’s how I wound up explaining the plot of Only Lovers Left Alive after doing my pee test.
Hopefully talk to all you guys soonish!
(Context: I am wearing a hard plastic cervical brace to support my neck pre-surgery next month)
Why the hell would anyone’s approach to asking about my brace as “WHAT’D YOU DO TO YOUR NECK!?” I mean a grown ass adult woman, not a child.
Like, thanks for your ‘concern’ but examine your tone, your phrasing and whether you’d ask someone using any other type of assistive medical device as WHAT’D YOU DO TO...
I didn’t DO anything. I had a tumor grow in my spine and required surgery and now it’s something else too but it’s none of your damn business. Go away.
The funniest thing in all this garbage news that I’m getting more titanium implanted into my spine is my friend’s take:
Him-You’re getting more susceptible to Magneto attacks
Me: You say that as if I wouldn’t already just take orders from Michael Fassbender and/or Sir Ian Mckellan.
