If a junk drawer were an entire house, that's our house.

I feel this so hard.

Looking good, dcp!

Aaaargh

I need a new cpap and supplies. The place I went before was sketch and not conveniently located (and the doc and the sleep center had a weird breakup and someone cashed my check but both of them thought they deserved it...). And then pandemic and I did nothing. So finally o figure I’ll set up a visit through the Uw system which is where my PCP is. Put it all under the same umbrella. Well. My appointment was in mid January. A telehealth appointment where her video wasn’t working so we ended up on the phone for all of 20 minutes. For that I am being charged $400 (because they charge as a hospital rate rather than a provider rate???) and despite multiple calls to them and then equipment place they referred me to I have yet to get ANYTHING. Today I get a message from my insurance that they haven’t gotten the info they need so they’re denying my request for new cpap or supplies. What the fuuuuuuck. I fucking hate insurance and the medical world.

That's a bunch of fuckery, meara! I'm angry on your behalf.

So annoying especially because I’ve BEEN calling the DME supplier repeatedly. Nearly every day at this point.

It seems like the pandemic has made the bureaucracy worse than it was before ... which was bad enough.

Just got my vaccine! I am waiting 30 minutes because of my history of antibiotics causing anaphylaxis.

Woot!

Yes, let's avoid that.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Medical conditions that sound like metal bands, but which you want to avoid at all costs: (1) anaphylaxis; (2) toxic megacolon.

CPAP stuff is such a pain in the ass, meara, and I don't get why. I hope you get it sorted. It's so fucking important!

I'm pretty sure I saw them play in Cleveland on a lineup with Dio, Motorhead, and Iron Maiden.
