Life is a learning process. Learning new things is part of the process of transformation. I learned at least two things this week. First, check the health insurance for things like the way they handle referrals to other doctors. Second, when it comes to eye infections, go to an eye doctor and not your regular GP.
I've known for a while that Mom's eye problem was more then just needing glasses. I made an appointment with an eye doctor and took her to see him. They accepted her medical insurance. However, she needed to go to a retinalgist and her insurance specific the group of eye doctors she has to have a referral from. So I made another appointment for next Monday for her to see a doctor in that group. I had the doctor we went to fax the information to their office and I'll take a copy of what I have with me.
As for her eye infection, it was more involved then what we thought. The eye doctor gave her a prescription and we're putting the drops in her eyes twice a day. However, she is going to have to go to another doctor, which means a referral, because of a blocked tear duct.
I guess this just goes to show that you never stop learning. No matter how old you are there is always something new you can learn. I'm not sure how I can apply this week's lessons to my own life, but I'll figure that out.

Going to be up all night

I'm going to be up all night. I have computer maintenance, file download and review on writing.com to complete. The computer maintenance comes first of course and then the file downloads. Between the two, I will do a couple of reviews. The file I'm going to download takes a while, so perhaps I can cat nap while it's downloading.
I did have other plans for tomorrow besides sleeping, but I can't do the download or maintenance during the week because I work and they take a long time. I don't like to leave things like that alone very long while a download occurs. I already tried to download the software twice and it didn't complete properly. I'll have to do it later tonight.
I need to get DSL, it would make my life so much easier. Of course, with a dial-up connection one does learn patience. Patience is something I seem to be lacking lately. It could be that I need to get back on my meds; being off them may affect my moods. I have a doctor's appointment Monday afternoon to discuss the results of lab tests. The doctor will probably give me a prescription for my meds then. I hope so, because I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

I have a doctor's appointment next week

I have a doctor's appointment next week. I believe it is on Monday afternoon at 3:00 PM. I changed this appointment last week so I cannot change it again. I am going to have to keep it. I need to get back on my meds. Actually there are many things I need, but the doctor's appointment is the most urgent right now.
I can remember my grandmother going to see the doctor. She would go religiously. I am not like that and I am not sure why. Maybe I take after my grandfater. He did not go to see a doctor unless he absolutely need to see one. I have to absolutely need to see one now.
Maybe I avoid going to a doctor because I have no health insurance. Having no health insurance is a real pain. Without health insurance, I have to let something else go to pay for the doctor. Without health insurance, I have to pay for the entire bill for any lab tests myself. I need lab tests because without them the doctor cannot tell what is wrong with me.
There was a time when I did not realize how important health insurance was and I did not worry about needing this type of insurance. I have changed, I now realize how important it is; the problem is I cannot get and I cannot afford health insurance. I cannot afford to pay the medical bills and I cannot afford health insurance. This is an interesting dilemma.
