Current mood: tired

Maybe I should have just slept in today.
I think that in the future I will:
- Not schedule a doctor appontment on Monday ( I always have too much to do at work then anyway) and,
- Not ever schedule a doctor appointment before 9:00 am.

In my stupor last night I did not set the clock correctly. Amy notices this morning that it is in fact an hour after we had planned to get up. So, we jump out of bed running around like hyperkinetic freaks and go racing from Gosport to Bloomington. Everything worked out and I dropped Amy off for class and made it to my appointment just in the knick of time. They're not busy at this time of the morning so they get me right in. Damn, I didn't quite get to figure out how to perfect my golf swing!

Diagnosis:
You're overweight, you're still diabetic, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a righteous head cold, and a rotator cuff injury. You'll need to see a physical therapist and possibly a joint specialist. I'm adjusting some of your meds. See ya in April! Me walking in to walking out -- 17 minutes.

So, now I am exhausted, tired from the head cold, seriously congested, bummed about the possible shoulder surgery, and not looking forward to the resulting bills. I could probably orchestrate a space shuttle launch, but I still don't understand my health insurance. Things it looks like they would never pay for they do, and things that it should cover end up being billed to me. I have poured over the documentation many times to no avail. Whatever.

We seem to still be paying less than we would off the rack -- but I do want to get better details from the doctor from now on; I get the feeling we ARE getting billed on both ends sometimes.

You're still above ground, and a few people care about you. It isn't all bad. :-)
