Dr. Apointment

Today was my doctor appointment to follow up my ER visit. Of course I didn't mention my trip to the ER to her, I wanted in and out of there quickly. She once again told me she's not comfortable managing my medication and I needed to get a psychiatrist as soon as possible. I understand her completely, I'd much rather have a psychiatrist managing me! So I'll start calling to find one ... again! Hopefully this time with more success!

I was extremely embarrassed when I was paying my co-pay because I gave the receptionist my flex spending card to pay my $15 and it got declined!!! I wasn't thinking at all ... umm, no job, no insurance, no flex spending ... duh!! Now I am waiting for a letter from the doctors office when they find out my insurance has run out! It's just never ending! I was told someone would contact me regarding COBRA insurance, but I haven't heard. I guess I'm going to have to follow up on that myself because I can't afford not having insurance! Not counting how much that Dr. visit will cost (they drew blood too, so I'll have lab fees), my medications alone are pushing $500!! That's just a month supply!!! (She wrote for two months) I haven't gone to Target to pick up my meds because I'm dreading draining my checking account to get them! I know the alternative of not taking my meds the past couple days isn't good either! I'll get reimbursed for everything once I get COBRA, but still! Thankfully next month, Bart's new insurance will start and I won't have to worry about all this anymore!!!
