First off, our POWER is back on! We were over at a friend’s house having dinner (because they had power) when we got word from a neighbor that everything was on. YAY!!!
This morning I took a shower because the water department showed up to fix the water main break. They GUARANTEED that the work would be finished by this afternoon and it looks like they are already done. YAY again!
I met with the oral surgeon for my jaw breaking surgery. He said it sounds like my VERY SEXY night guard that I use for teeth grinding may be affecting my bite so he is going to have me not wear it for a month and see if it makes a difference. If it is my mouth guard then I might not have to have surgery- just braces. We’ll see. In the mean time they will contact my insurance company to see if the surgery will be covered. All of this means that I can’t leave my job because sometimes getting the surgery approved can take up to TWO YEARS. I don’t want to have to go through this with another insurance company, so I guess I am stuck.
Finally, I was injected with Lupron today….in my butt. My insurance company called yesterday to tell me it was ready and to give me the final bill. $1024 FOR ONE SHOT. So ricockulous it is not even funny. The injection site is a little sore to the touch but no crazy thoughts running through my head or hot flashes…..yet. My doctor wants me to continue taking the birth control pills for five more days and then throw the rest out.
As I was running around to my various doctor appointments today, I realized that I have never seen so many doctors at the same time at any other point in my life! I drove home from getting the Lupron shot and started to feel sorry for myself. Why is this all so hard? Why is it all happening at the same time? I feel awful for being such a drain on our finances. But then I told myself that none of these things are life threatening. I don't have canceror a life long illness. Right now we don't have kids so we are in a better place to afford out of pocket expenses for surgeries and medications (even if it means not being able to put money away for other things). Even though it is all so overwhelming I can get through it....right?
