to add insult to injury...

As if the morning wasn't frustrating enough with the Dr's office in Denver, this afternoon (AFTER our 1st physical therapy appt here in the Springs) we received authorization from our insurance company for Amy's PT to be done in Denver. Yeah, right...it's just a 5 minute hop down the road several times a week. No problem. Agh! At the appt with this Dr in December he specifically asked us where we wanted to do Amy's PT and we told him the Springs. Mom brought up a good point. If his office can't get their act together, do we really want this guy to do a procedure on Amy? Food for thought.

I spent a lot of my morning on the phone with the Dr's office in Denver. On the 23rd of December he told us we could expect a call the following week from ______ in his office to schedule the lumbar injection procedure for Amy to be done in January. Since I still hadn't heard anything I decided to call her instead. She can find NO record that the Dr wants to do anything--no procedure at all. He's in surgery today so she can't talk to him till tomorrow. She wants me to call back on Wednesday. Also on the 23rd, the Dr asked where we'd like for Amy to do her physical therapy and we told him we had a PT here in the Springs. No problem, right? This afternoon I got a message (left while we were at PT) saying the office in Denver is ready to schedule her for PT up there. Agh!!! Why can't people get their act together?!!! It was bad enough that we had to wait 2 full hours past her appt time in December just to be seen. Now their records are messed up? Come on, doctors...get it right the first time!!! We've spent a lot of time in various medical offices in the past 1 1/2 years, but never has it been quite this frustrating. And now I'm off to count to 10 (or 100...whatever it takes!)

Back to the grind...

We took Laura back to school today, and it was a LONG day! She's going to be an RA this semester which meant we needed to move her from one dorm to another. Her new room isn't much bigger than our walk-in closet. I'm talking TINY! (Believe me, it helps that her clothes are so small!) She's really excited and the small size doesn't seem to matter much to her. It's a single, for goodness sake! She's in a suite with 7 other girls but has her own entrance in and out of her room. She has about 33 students that she's responsible for--both guys and girls. I'd love to see her stand up to those big boys when they get out of line! Thankfully, her hall director is a football player and he'll be around to help her out. I think she'll be just fine, though. She's one spunky little lady!

I'm just saying...

Maybe watching a Twilight Zone marathon yesterday had nothing to do with it, but somehow I ended up with two girls in bed with me this morning. They said "Talky Tina" didn't bother them, but who knows?
