I had to make a crap load of phone calls. Miss H is having her tonsils and adenoids removed but for some reason doctors are way too busy to worry about it right this minute. I'm about fed up with her pediatric doc. I tried to explain that she should have surgery during spring break so she didn't miss any more school. The initial appointment to see the ENT was Monday. Yep. They're whoppers. He says. Duh. Okay. Let's schedule the appointment for day surgery. Nurse explains he's not available until May. Huh. My kid can barely breathe. He'll need to see her a couple days prior so that can be on April 19th. That's a couple weeks prior. What's wrong with these people these days. Very well. Let's just get her scheduled and taken care of. She'll need to miss a week of school. Okay. Give me a note. Whatev. Seriously. Tired of the doctors down here. Everything is a hassle.
Hannah needs to see an ophthalmologist. No need for a referral states her pediatrician. I call numerous eye centers and each of them state they see no one under the age of 10, 16. Now there are no specialist to see a five year old these days. How hard does it have to be. Most don't take our insurance. What else is new.
The girls need a dentist appointment as well. Their teeth haven't been cleaned in ten years because no one takes our insurance and no dentist sees children who are five either. Where I come from, this was never a problem. Is Florida the only state that everything health wise is a freaking complete mess. Really. What the deal. I'm on the phone forever. Not to mention trying to get my schooling taken care of. So I can't keep track of who I'm calling, speaking to or what I'm calling for.
Meanwhile, the girls are playing Wii, on the computer and I have to hold the phone away from my mouth to yell shhhhhhhhhhhh. Really, I'm whispering but shhhhhhhhhhhh sounds loud. And I'm snapping my fingers. Like a crazy person.
The dentist office I'm calling is not answering and I don't even know if they accept kids their age or their insurance so it says leave a message and my message goes.........
Hi! I'm calling to find out if you see children ages 5 and 10, if your accepting new patients and if you take this insurance. If you do, could you please call me back asap at this phone number.......In Jesus' name......I thank you very much!
Holy Freakin Shit. I was going to say In Jesus' Name I Pray.......When I realized what I was saying I just said thank you very much and hung the phone up cracking up, like oh my goodness gracious. What is going on with my momboggling head.
I honestly can't stop laughing. What a day in the life of mom.

Oh goodness. Sounds like good times with the health-care system! And I love how you started to pray. Greatness!
I hope you are able to make those doctor appointments and get all that junk taken care of - none of that is a problem where I live. Hayden has seen an eye doctor three times now... he just saw the pediatric dentist today... and we have decent pediatricians.
It sounds like Florida is having some issues - for real.
HA HA HA! I just about peed my pants! That is def. something i would do! LMAO!
Say it. Maybe it'll help. Worth a try.
I do feel for you. I had to do some phone calling last week. I kept getting the phone devil that made me listen to thousands of choices and none of them led me anywhere that I wanted to go and then it cut me off.
I think I called on the lord that day myself.....
that got a laugh out of me! Maybe your prayers will be answered! I have left some pretty wacky messages on voicemail. One time I ended a message on my bosses cell phone with "Okay, love you, bye" because I was thinking of my husband. Insurance is a pain in the ass in TX too.
Haha, yeah, insurance stuff is all pretty messed up in Florida. Admittedly, I don't know much abotu it, but if I understand correctly, a lot of it has to do with Jeb and some crazy taxing and regulations he put on insuring children? I dunno.
Oh that was too funny what you said!! I REALLY hate making calls, especially to medical/dental places. I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much hassle!
You are too,too cute! And yes, Forida is pretty fucked up. I was transacting some business down there and talk about S - S - L - O - O - W. It was all I could do not to jump over the desk and stuff, llick and seal the damn envelopes myself. Too much sun perhaps?
