Just a little Venting

[Guest guest]

,

Just remember we are here for you! Maybe you could just go to digest then

you could filter through and keep up with us! I am frustrated too! I have

been working on this a year and Dr. Rutledge has been so patient with me and

my lagging behind. I have something called PTC and it the inability for my

spinal fluid to be absorbed correctly and therefore it builds up causing

headaches and eye problems. One of the other things is it messes with my

motivation and things get left half done.Between that and insurance issues

it has been a long haul! I was so sure this was the right thing for me and

one year later I am still sure!

I just don not want you to give up, just remember we care an will be

thinking of you while you are on sabatacle! Paige

Welcome to my pity party. I am beginning to think this entire process is a

matter of survival of the fittest, and I am not sure I have what it takes. I

feel like everywhere I turn is a big black hole. I sent Debbie an e-mail

yesterday about filing my insurance and she tells me I am " not in their

databank " . Meanwhile, I am nearly finished with my page 6 items. Most are

either finished or I am waiting for an appointment. I have weight to lose, I

have lost 10 lbs since clinic and have a little more to go, but the end is in

sight regarding getting to 350.

But the rest is so depressing, I went to the clinic on Jan 22. They weighed

me and then accidentally put my file in the stack of patients who had been

seen. So, although I arrived early I got to see Dr. R at 6:00, but that was

ok, someone has to be last. I went home, fired up and the next day sent in

my Patient Info via e-mail and started making appointments and requesting all

my information. I checked on my patient info on Monday since it still had

not been filed and learned that Debbie didn't have it.

SO.... I did it again, and faxed a copy to her and mailed the hard copy as

back up the same day. The e-mail today says she doesn't have anything on me.

I really am not blaming her, I think she has more work than anyone can be

expected to do, but it is getting harder and harder not to blow a fuse at

SOMEBODY. I can only imagine what I am in store for after the story airs on

the news. I sent Dr. R AND Debbie an e-mail today to see what else I can do,

but frankly I am more than a little bummed out. I am so anal about all this,

but I feel like regardless of what I do or how I do it, it isn't working.

Maybe God is trying to tell me something.

I am getting ready to go to Denver tomorrow for the next two weeks to take my

Mother, who has severe asthma to a wonderful hospital there to be evaluated.

I have made detailed plans to take my " work " with me so I can work from

Denver and not impact my clients, I have made incredible plans so my three

sons can go to Cincinnati to stay with their grandmother while I am gone.

She is even bringing them back mid-trip so one son doesn't have to miss his

soccer tournament. I have made plans for my husband who will be here but is

fighting a big depression. I don't have much left!

So, I guess my option is to just wait and see what happens. I am scheduled

for the second clinic on March 4th. Until then, I am really going to just

put this in the back of my head and forget about it. I think I will delist

for a while. It's just too much. I feel like I am trying to climb and

avalanche! Enough. Thanks for letting me rant.
