Well I got at least one kid back to school today.

Hoping the other feels well enough to go back tomorrow.

My GI doctor's nurse finally returned my call today

after calling and leaving a message Monday.

Monday, hellooo it's now Wednesday

and I called about needing a prescription refill 

because I'm about out of my pills.

She said unless I make an appointment

I can't get a refill on my prescription.

The reason she said, is that they haven't 

seen me in a year with a follow up appointment.  

I bit my tongue and wanted to say, 

well you saw me 2 x's between November & December

in the hospital.  And when I went to make a 

follow up appointment in November it took

a whole month to be seen that I ended up back in the hospital

before my follow up appointment.

Didn't you get enough information, tests, money and

everything you ever wanted out of me

from the hospital then?!

Because of course you know they charged me for

having my GI doctor come to the hospital for

his visits and colonoscopy.

And your GI doctor diagnosed me with Colitis

when I really had C. Diff. 

Then she says,

normally our next appointment would be available in March

but we now have a nurse practitioner you can

see so we can get you in next Thursday.

So I'm thinking again,

if you hadn't of hired this new nurse practitioner

I would of had to wait til March to be seen

just to get my prescriptions refilled?!

Then I ask if she might have any 

free samples of my medicine because my prescription

is so expensive and also due to the wait

of being seen before I get them refilled.

She says she doesn't have any but she could

send me paperwork to fill out to see if I can

qualify for a discount on my prescription

through the maker of my medicine.

I can fill it out and return it back to the office

when I see them and they'd fill out the rest for

me and send it to the company.

UH, I've been going to this office for 2 years or so

now and why is this just now being told to me?!

And while I am on a roll should I also add

in that I have 4 days to submit paperwork

to try and get assistance with my hospital bill

and I have yet to get anywhere with hubby's

work getting me his paycheck stubs

back to September for income verification.

Well that is all for now with my venting.

Going outside to look for a money tree

for yet another doctor bill and 

prescription that is needed.


4:30pm


Instead of spaghetti & meatballs I've decided
to do a spaghetti casserole.
I used ingredients I had on hand.

Break spaghetti into thirds and boil in a pot of water, drain.
In a skillet fry up 1 pound deer burger, drain.
Add in a can of spaghetti sauce, 3 packets splenda,
1 small container of Helluva Good Greek yogurt ranch dip
and mix together.  Stir in 2 large eggs til well blended.
Dump in spaghetti and stir all together.
Pour into large casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.


6:10pm


Hubby is still not home and who knows when he is expected.
He says they still have pipe freeze ups and 
there have been floods in apartments from burst pipes.
Is it Monday yet???


11:05pm


Hubby got home earlier long enough to pull into
the drive way and leave again, literally.
I went with him and we are now just getting home.
We had a furnace only getting to 40 something
degrees in one apartment and in another
apartment a pipe burst and flooded it.
There was about 3 or so inches of water all
over the entire apartment.
The resident had to find somewhere else to stay tonight
because sub contracting carpet extractors
that the apartment complex uses are so booked full
from busted water lines all over Columbus.
So far hubby has 14.5 hours for today.
Like I said, is it Monday yet?!
Monday is when he goes off call.
