Well here's the current low down: Shortly after the holidays, I'll be letting Dr. V reattach my tailpipe so I'll be able to get rid of *<em>The Bag</em>*. It seems that Dr.s V&M met up with each other recently at SWGHC and I was mentioned, and Dr. M said my progress was going splendidly. When I saw Dr. M on Monday, he told me of this and advised for me to make an appointment with Dr. V asap. I had scheduled it for about 2:30 this afternoon, but got out of Ireland CC about an hour and a half before my scheduled visit, so I went to the Sunrise Deli in the main lobby and grabbed a V8 and surfed the net a little more. <br /><br />Arriving at Dr. V's office at 2pm, I pretty much starred at her aquarium for about 45 minutes while in the waiting room. I really don't know what she has in there for sure, but I know that there are three angel fish, two mini catfish, a black and orange fish that looks like a salt-water clown fish, and three others that I have not a notion as to what they are.<br /><br />Anyway, after being called in by one of the assistants and shown the room I was to go in; blood pressure taken and a remark that I look different (I regained weight I had lost because of the NPO restriction I was on during my initial stay last year,) I must have waited about another 30~45 minutes for Dr. V herself to come in. Before a very TMI-type of exam I had to endure, we agreed that the procedure would be better if it was done <em>after</em> the holidays, but I'll know better after a follow-up on December 15th.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=throbadelic&ditemid=505456" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:174823:468641 2010-01-26T02:28:48Z 2010-01-26T02:28:48Z The Yardbirds - The Nazz Are Blue - Birdland okay public 0 Once again the oncologist is pleased with my progress to this point, but was surprised that he never got the financial assistance paperwork even though I now have 'caid. We're figuring that Dr. V got the honors of dealing with that instead!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=throbadelic&ditemid=468641" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:174823:465318 2010-01-14T02:48:54Z 2010-01-14T02:48:54Z irritated, but just slightly public 0 Why are we goatly types soooooo easily irritated at times?<br />How long have I waited?<br />"" "" has the oncologist pestered me about this, only to have me say that the ball is in another's court?<br /><br />Guess what?<br />Finally received notice that I've been determined to be eligible for Medicaid, and I get to pick a managed care plan (MCP). Big yips all around would be called for in this case, but there are three flies, if not more in the ointment:<br />1. I have to apply by tomorrow 8pm (1-14-10), or I'll have one assigned to me.<br />2. My doctors are with different MCPs: Oncologist is with CareSource, while the surgeon is with WellCare.<br />3. WellCare isn't provided as an option in the notice I received, but Buckeye Community Health Plan is. A sibling that works in health care doesn't have good things to say about them (Buckeye Community Health Plan), so I hope to avoid them as much as possible.<br /><br />Ok, I have a fourth: Trying to do this online is near-impossible, so I'll have to "phone it in" tomorrow.<br /><br />Yeah, that good.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=throbadelic&ditemid=465318" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
