Dislocation

[judecorp]

I'm feeling a little out of touch and I'm not really sure what's up with that. Everything seems disjointed, everything a little out of focus.

I've spent the last three days trying to straighten out my referral for my reproductive endocrinologist (repro endo?) appointment on Friday. I feel like a tennis ball - calling my PCP and then Boston IVF, then the PCP, then IVF, etc. etc. "We haven't received this referral." "I set it by fax and confirmed the fax with a phone call." "Can they fax it again?" "Can I confirm by telephone?" "If we don't have this referral, we'll have to reschedule." Me: "The two of you have to straighten this out, and you have to do it before Friday morning, because I made arrangements at work and I'm not rescheduling."

Nothing really makes sense anymore. Everything is just slightly out of whack... like enough that I notice, but not enough that anyone else does. I feel like I can almost reach the button that will bring it all back together. Almost. But I just can't stretch any farther.

I took Fin's lampshade off this evening. Poor dude had resigned himself to it but I couldn't bear to see him be so clumsy and sad. He's not much of a licker so I think he should be okay. It was purely selfish, really - he kept trying to snuggle me and hitting me in the face with the damned thing. He cleaned himself happily, glad for access to his paws again. Cute little bugger when he's not stepping on my neck.

I tried to put the lampshade on Buki when she was spayed, but she walked around backward for a half an hour, which was freakin HILARIOUS, but she got stuck behind some chair and really freaked out, so I just took it off and hoped for the best.

Yeah. I kept tying it back on him for about 24 hours, and finally when he kept bonking me in the face with it while trying to give me love, I said, "Enough," and freed the poor dude.

He's much happier now. I don't remember Daedalus having a lampshade. Neutering is so much milder than spaying.

You know, having dealt with a lot of insurance bullshit myself recently, let me tell you that IVF absolutely can see you before they get the referral. They need the referral to get paid by the insurance company, but that only needs to be done by the time they bill, which can't happen until after you're seen anyway!

Oh, I know that they CAN see me... just that they DON'T. It's their policy.

Their thing is that if they can't guarantee payment via referral, they'll charge you upfront for the visit. And well, I'd really rather not have dealt with that. :)

Well you and Jen have made quite a few life decisions lately. And you have to realize that will throw you off for awhile. It is a lot of wondering if you made the right choice as well as where do we go from here. I hope you get through it okay. Also good luck on Friday.

I love Peas.

There's OUR life decisions... and then there's just all of the crap that life normally throws at someone (and some once-in-a-blue-moon things that I'm /really/ getting sick of!). It's just been so much. I'd really like to see things calm down a little bit... or at least stay exciting but in the GOOD kind of exciting.

Thanks for the good luck!
