Well, here I am on Monday afternoon, planning my week. The next two days will be very busy and a bit on the nerve-wracking side.
After seven years, the scar on my brow from cancer surgery has become painful. Well, it’s actually been painful for a while (a few years) but it has reached the point of causing me discomfort each day. It’s like having two beans under my skin. When I put on make-up, it hurts. When I wash my face, it hurts. Finally, my Dermatologist suggested I see a Plastic Surgeon for a revision.
The reason I am nervous is that although I have good insurance, it will be the decision of the Insurance Company whether or not I really need this.
I have said for many years that it was NOT our Healthcare System that needed to be revised. No! It is the Insurance Companies that need to have their systems revised and curtailed! Imagine some account manager for XYZ-Insurance Company being able to say whether or not you get care!
Unfortunately, the Insurance Companies have a lot of Lobbyists and they have controlled our healthcare system and availability for years! And now, as I wait to find out if I can have a revision, I must ask myself if my Insurance Company will deem it necessary.
After that appointment, I will be stopping at the grocery shop. I have a lot of things to buy.
Of course, once I get done with the shopping, I will need to come home, put all the groceries away, and make dinner! Long day.
Wednesday I have my ladies meeting in the morning, and directly after that, I am driving to get my hair done.
After that, I have no plans for the rest of the week. We pulled the last air conditioner on Monday and now we are officially in Winter Mode. I need to check the fuel oil and set the thermostats.
Yes, busy, busy, and then some quiet.
Have a great week everyone!
I hope you are able to have the operation. Insurance companies have far too much say in my opinion.
Sorry, but it is your medical system. Your treatment should be a clinical decision made by a qualified medical person about your treatment, not any kind of insurance company that has a vested interest in not spending money on your health care. At the very least it should be a medical decision and the insurance company has to pay if that is what is ordered by the doctor.
Yeah, our health care system … I will bite my tongue about the politics of it (get me on my soapbox and you’ll get quite an earful) and just say I hope it works out.
I agree the ins. co. Have way to much power!!
Good luck with your scar. Glad this week is kinda balanced for you..take care
