So - how 'bout these Tuesdays? Today was a long one. I worked from 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM. So I got home at 7:30, and my husband had taquitos and pizza rolls in the oven for supper. I was oh so happy I didn't have to think about what to fix, but also feeling bad that such a dinner was being served at my house. Oh that mom guilt . . .
I have made up batches of frozen meals and had the freezer filled - have some in there still, plus several other complete meals that just need a little assembly. But every single morning I am rushing out the door and never get done ahead of time. Sigh. Am I the only one that could get up at midnight to start my day and somehow still be running behind? I get up earlier and end up trying to get 'a little more' done before going to work and end up being late. I can never get ahead of the game, but I keep right on playing!
So today . . . I was tackle bear hugged and pulled a muscle in my back (I can't help buy smile at such exuberance!), found out there is a place really called the Devil's Elbow and it is closed on Tuesdays, was driven to - I cannot make this stuff up - Uranus Fudge Factory. Feel free to insert joke here . . . all in a day's work, right? 300+ mile road trip, at least as many laughs, a lot of work completed, and a chance to do it all again tomorrow.
I decided to call and check in with my insurance to see where things stood with my pre-authorization approval for surgery . . . insurance: We don't have it. Me: What?? It was supposed to be sent 2 weeks ago. Insurance: We don't have it. Me: (calling the doctor's office) They don't have it.
Dr's office: Yes they do. Me: Ummm, no they don't. Dr's office: Let me have someone else call you back. Dr's office part II: We sent it to the hospital and they sent it to insurance. They have it. Me: No they don't. Dr's office part II: They have it. Me. NO they don't. DOPII: Well, let me call the hospital and find out when they sent it to insurance. I'll call you back. Me: Great, thank you.
DOPII: Your insurance doesn't have it. Me: Right. DOPII: The hospital has had it for 10 days and hasn't sent it. Me: sigh DOPII: The hospital will send it to your insurance tomorrow . . .
I guess I should be grateful that I don't need emergency surgery! So I'm no closer to have a surgery date or even knowing a basic time frame about when it will happen. I am a little frustrated. Praying insurance will 'rush' it through! If they get it.
