Smite to the insurance companies being evil! I'm sorry, Teppy and Ginger.
I'm visiting F again. She is on hospice care now. It's so difficult to see her this way.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

sj, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, but very glad for F that she has you there. This is TCG's step-grandmother, right? I think it's wonderful that you're spending so much time with her now. It's a gift to be able to be there with her, as hard as it is.

Segway office ankle breaking sounds like a Mad Men plot. With less blood, I guess. I suppose ankle breaking is better than getting run over by a lawnmower.
You might be able to golf again, at least.

Oh, Teppy I am feeling your pain. My gyn is awesome, but his office sucks. I've been trying to get a BCP refill for several days now, but there has been no answer at the office (phone just rings and rings). I finally try to get to the "on call" physician, figuring he can authorize a refill, only to find out that the office is on a retreat and aren't taking prescription calls. ARGH.

Seemingly, "on call" doesn't always mean "will answer the call".

Last year, when my company changed insurance companies, they "lost" me for almost two months. Everyone else* got their cards and got coverage; when I called to ask where mine was, they said they didn't show any record of me being coverd.
- Except for the one other older woman on staff.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm trying very hard to be zen about this and tell myself that it will all work out (because it most likely will), but the clock is ticking and I need to get this done before the end of the month, and I just can't be chill when I'm running out of time and getting it done before the end of the month is the difference between $50 and $1,000.

Yes, she is a wonderful, amazing woman who made me feel like a part of the family immediately. And, she adores TCG, so she is obviously a smart woman. It will be awful to lose her of course, but the hardest part really seems to be seeing her this way all weak and helpless.
