Makes total sense

The power went out in our area. Only 11 houses are without power. Of course ours is one of them. Of course.

I feel miserable

I'm going to complain today.

I feel like I've been hit in the face. I'm not sure if it is just allergies or if I have a sinus infection, but I had post-nasal drip all last night and now my chest feels tight and my face hurts.

I didn't sleep well either. Work is going to be rough today.

Ugh...more insurance drama..

After switching to a much better insurance through my company, they decided to change it - to Aetna. 

This is actually pretty upsetting. Aetna is impossible to work with and there is no where to find what specific things are actually covered. You need referrals for everything. The deductibles are astronomically high. This is the reason Dave and I switched from his insurance to mine in the first place!

Dave and I need to talk over the options, as they want us to make a decision by this Monday. 

This is ridiculously frustrating. All I want is an insurance that will help me stay healthy with good customer service. Feeling back to square one today.

Blood Test Results

Dr. L just personally left a message on my answering machine. They finally got my results back from my Lamotrigine trough levels back (I told you I was impatient...)

She said that my level was 5.1 and it was perfect (her words, not mine). 

This is great because it means that there is room to not have to adjust my meds later. I feel so relieved that we have the results before my doctor's appointment on Friday. The more information my doxtor's have from each other, the better.

Patience is a virtue

The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. - Arnold H. Glasow

Since all of my testing started back up again, I've become the most impatient woman on Earth.

If I get blood work done, I want to know the results now not tomorrow. I don't know what's making this way. I'm probably driving my doctors insane. 

I need to learn to sit back and relax. It is just that every time I did that with doctors in the past, I either didn't get results or they would just nod through our conversations and write me off. This way,  I get the answers I need - quickly.

I called Gary asking if he got my blood test results for my trough level in yet. He says they still have no word. Ugh.

In other news, I spoke with my new insurance provider today and he said that everything looks good for my doctor's appointment on Friday. I'm really excited to see what my copays look like now. And the fact that my medication is dropping down to $8!!

Hopefully, Gary comes back with news before Friday :)
