Oh my there has been chaos this week! It is that time of year, and another Insurance
company is leaving the state of Florida…if you have been paying attention to my
(sorry about that) grousing lately, you already know that this is the 3rd
year in a row that the company that has covered me has discontinued service in
FL and it is a total pain in the ass to find a new company. This year it is even
more complicated because none of my current docs or hospitals are on the 3
current companies I can choose from. It has made me consider different
alternatives.
I have received many gifts from the Universe recently, but a
priceless visit with Dr. Ihrig has been
the greatest of them all. As I began
doing the research on alternative palliative physicians, the process took on a
life of its own. After a routine medical evaluation, all of the sudden I was
being, seen by docs, nurses, and a host of other medical people in a rapid fire
succession parading in and out of my house, it appears that the Universe does
know what I need and when I need it. As
all good things go, when it is right, it all falls into place and I have been
moved from the simple palliative care that I wanted to regular hospice. I know….I
hate that word! But it is not what it used to be and truly more suited for the
help I need, however…. it still makes me shudder…I am assured it no longer
means that heinous 6 month prognosis. My head understands that horrible hospice label, but still my emotions are
screaming AUGHHHHHHH! And there is where
the chaos is. But it has been good chaos and it is beginning to settle… as all
chaos does.
Now….there is a new wonderful direction ahead! I do not have
to chase doctors any longer, the horrible invasive expensive tests are over, the nurses come to me, the business end of this (which by the way is
absolutely horrible) is now all taken care of, all covered by my new insurance
(thank you Blue Cross)….and now I am free to live and it is going to be
amazing!
