Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

Well, Tank does have other options...there's cow piles & chicken plops.

Surprisingly he takes no interest in either male or female bovine droppings, neither chicken either. But if those dropping should be in a puddle of water, it would be game on!

I wasn't able to get into any urgent care yesterday for my coughing, so today I called when my PA office opened and was on hold for 22 minutes. Yes, they had an opening at 11:30. YEA!!

Boy, am I stupid and behind the times. Docs don't hold openings anymore. If you need to see them urgently, then it becomes an urgent care visit and my copay was $60. Normally my visit is zero copay.

Listened to me breath, and said have you ever used an inhaler? I did but long ago. So he rx'd me an inhaler. Also sent me across the street to Vancouver Clinic for chest xrays.
Got in car, left the parking lot, went thru 4 way stop light, entered parking lot, went into building.
Sorry, you need a paper, mam. WHAT? They sent it electronically. No mam, we don't do electronic stuff here. Its got to be a paper.
Got in car, left the parking lot, went thru 4 way stop light, entered parking lot, went into PA's building. Oh yes, said the receptionist. You shoulda picked up the paper when you left.

Stood there for about 10 min while she peered at paper, my license and my med card. Typed everything into the computer. After all that, she said they don't take this supplemental insurance here. I said, you wouldn't take me yesterday, cus I'm on Medicare. Yes she said, you're right.
Got in car, left the parking lot, went thru 4 way stop light, entered parking lot, went into PA's building. The receptionist said she's never heard of them not taking Wellcare Health Net. PA said Yes, they take your insurance. Go tell them. I said I'd be happy to drive over there and tell them to take my insurance, but I'm not sure they would listen. I said, do I really need an xray? Why don't I use the inhaler and let you know. OK, he said.

I'm glad I've never had to deal with that. Mom's told me frustration stories as well

 

[murphysranch]

The funniest part of it all was that each and every time I got back into the car, Maverick my almost 2 yr old cattle dog, greeted me with a "Hi Mom!! Glad you're back"!! Every single time!!

Has been raining steadily for over 3 hours. No thunder, just plain old soaking rains. We needed it.

Been dealing with some intercostal muscle pain on the right side. Had back muscle issues over the weekend that has quieted down. Trying to take it easy, but it's hard. Lol.
