Welcome home, Sheryl & family. This is your life now!
'Dirty Girls'
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Let the adventure begin.
Indeed!
I would be happy to return to Slanted Door, IJS.
I smell a plan brewing!
YAY Adventuring, Sheryl!
Cats are fed, dog is fed, rabbit is fed, candles are lit, plumbing issue seems to have resolved itself just like I hoped, time for a second glass of wine and Killjoys (if I can stay awake after to much to eat and two glasses of wine...ETA or even close my parentheses)
I don't have any wine, but I did have too much to eat for dinner.
Any thoughts re: submitting a written request and picking up my medical records myself, or waiting until I find a Dr. in San Francisco and sending a request to have my medical records sent there?
Considering that Emmett's medical records from his early pediatric doctor have never actually migrated into the system of his Teen Clinic doctors (7 years after authorization etc.) I'd say getting physical copies might be worth the trip.
(Still grateful that original pediatrician kept scrupulous paper records onsite because he couldn't get into college without complete immunization record.)
Maybe Laura has an opinion on this since that's her company's biz, but there's a lot of NonCommunication between different medical systems. They're not designed to be cross-communicating.
One of the reasons I was glad to get back into Kaiser is that they still had my medical records from the previous time I was with them, decade or two back, and the spottiness of my records from in between has not been a concern.
I have no idea where all my medical records are. I should probably know that, huh? I've been with Cigna since 2000, and before that I was mostly uninsured but didn't have any significant health issues. When I was working for the mental health clinic, I must have had health insurance then; I got several immunizations. My records from when I was a child were apparently destroyed in a flood a couple decades ago.
I've never had records transferred from a doctor, but I've also never had a significant health issue. Now I'm back in the system I was in as a child, which is convenient.
Yeah, thanks to Obamacare, I went back to Kaiser a year ago, and now that (hopefully!) I'll be back in the federal system, I'll be back on a regular Kaiser plan. It's been nice to see my regular doctor again, after 12 years in Kaiser and then 2 years with BC/BS when I basically didn't see a doctor because I couldn't be bothered to hunt down someone who was taking new patients.
Gotta get moving: I need to pick up my climbing gear at home and go to the gym -- wish me luck, I haven't climbed in about a month, hoping my golfer's elbow will resolve. Not sure it has, though. Argh.
Then I will experiment with paint colors in the kitchen, woot. And think about stains for the floor.
