Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, meara, you poor thing! I'm sorry the overnight in the ER was so awful. Also sorry you reacted so badly to the opioids. Are they giving you enough pain meds? Make them give you enough to last until you can get more!

Can you try to get the airline to bump you up to first class for the flight home? You'll appreciate the extra legroom, believe me.

David, you rock.

the fact that a couple times now as I fall asleep I try to jerk my leg/ankle/foot and wake myself up in a lot of pain is not good.

I'm sure this is too late to help, but I remember this from my ankle surgery, which was far less traumatic. Your body does those involuntary twitches as you fall asleep, and if you've had, say, an ankle operated on, a twitch hurts like hell.

Yeah, I feel like it's a very normal twitch, but it still hurts enough to wake me up!

Thanks for offers of help—made it back to Seattle last night, am in a friend's guest room. But still freaking out a lot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can see that. It's a lot to suddenly change. I think some wailing and gnashing of teeth might be appropriate.

Monday morning, gotta call my insurance company. Suuuuper fun.

Oh, are you fucking kidding me. In August, they sent me a letter saying that a prior authorization was needed for my migraine med starting 10/1. I got the doctor's office to send them a PA. They sent me another letter saying that a PA wasn't needed, so it was dismissed.

This month, they need a PA! Apparently since the other PA was sent before October, they just...threw it away? So it didn't count? So we have to run in circles again?

Our wings are not tired.

A real competition between insurance companies and the GOP for most evil enterprises.

Dana, when they did that to me, they specified in like April that they'd stop covering in July but also that a prior authorization had to wait until it had first been denied (in July) which I agree makes no sense.

Called the appointment line and the lady was like "I don't see that on the list so let me leave a message for them to call you when they open". Which is not encouraging. I'm tempted to just go to the ER right now. Because I'm in pain. But the actual clinic didn't open until just now so I'm telling myself I should wait a few minutes, maybe call back in a few. But...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

This is the first problem I've had with them since we switched in April, including with prescriptions. They lulled me into a false sense of security.

I just double-checked both letters. All the first letter said was that it would require a PA starting 10/1, and that my doctor needed to submit one. The second letter said it was dismissed because the PA wasn't required. No mention of 10/1 in the second letter.

I mean, I guess if I read between the lines very carefully I could have figured it out?
