Some Days....................

Some days, you're the cat and some days, you're the cat litter.

Today, I am the litter.

You know that new health insurance I signed up for last year?  It gives me 2 free dental cleanings, x-rays and check-up and paid $500.00 for my crown.  It pays $200.00 toward a new pair of glasses that I need.  Great.  Right?

I went to my physical therapy session today--my first one--and found I'd have to pay a $30.00 co-pay for every visit.  3 visits a week, for 6 weeks.  

I had to pay a $45.00 co-pay both times I went to the dermatologist.

My prescriptions used to be free for generic, now they are $2.50, none generic is $6.00.

Plus the $200.00 I owe the hospital and the $219.00 I owe the ambulance company.

Yes--the premium is only $20.00 a month, but...............................


and you can bet, next November, I will be going back on Medicare with a supplemental insurance.  If I had stayed on what I had--ALL my PT would have been covered, as well as the hospital and ambulance, dermatologist and any other procedures I needed.
=======================
Other than that--the grape jelly in the Baltimore Oriole feeder was frozen this morning!!!
The squirrels apparently are illegals from Mexico as they now seem to like the hot pepper sauce that I put in the bird seed.  So--to counteract that, I made a squirrel feeder and filled it with corn and peanuts.  The Chipmunks, Blue Jays, Woodpeckers and Nuthatches like it as well.

My blood pressure is still quite high most of the day.

For some reason, Maggie the cat, yakked up on the carpet.  Not a fur ball, just food.  ARGGH!

My grass is so long that I thought I saw a Python slither through the back yard today.  I cannot afford to get it mowed every week!

I thought the dermatologist look off a thin slice of skin for biopsy--the dang spot still hurts--and today I looked and I have a hole in my leg!!  Apparently he took out a plug of tissue and it has to heal from the inside out?  I put some neosporin and a band-aid on it because it rubs against my pant leg and hurts.

Pammie didn't make it over this week with Evan.

My garbage pail is breaking around the top and one wheel broke off.


Today, I am the litter!!!  I feel like I have been shat upon!

  1. That's terrible about your insurance. I went to my retina specialist today for an eye injection. I used to pay $350. for the privilege. This is my first time using Medicare and my supplemental. I'm very interested to see how much I have to pay now.

    I don't hate the squirrels, but I wish they were not so greedy and tenacious. They are like some people. They will take everything you have to give, and then want more.

    I'm sorry you didn't get to see Evan.

    I hope you are the cat tomorrow.

  2. I'll bet your pepper spray stuff wore off with all rain.

    I'm not surprised about your insurance turning out like that. I know several people at the union hall who tried that Advantage Plus and went back to the other as soon as they could. It's only an advantage to young people who don't go to the doctors often.

    Hope the rest of your week improves!

  3. That really sucks about your "insurance"! Reminds me of when we were self employed and paying for insurance and all of our medical bills, too! Hope you have a better day today my friend!

  4. I'm sorry about your insurance disappointments. It's just not right. Isn't it funny how some days it's like everything goes wrong. Poor Maggie; Poor you having to clean it up. Hope it's nothing serious, just normal cat stuff. So sorry about missing out on your visit. I know how you look forward to seeing your grand babies! I had to laugh about your illegal Mexican squirrels, though. I used to have a dog that would eat anything I put hot sauce on...and I do mean anything! Nice solution! Hope it works for you. HUGS

  6. Goodness gracious, Judy! That's terrible about the insurance you have. Yes indeed, you need to switch in November. I'm with Medicare (of course) and my supplement is with United Healthcare. I pay l86.00 a month. In all the time I've been with them, so far I've only had to pay $13.00 for the last hospital visit but I know that was a mistake of the hospital's but I sent it anyway.

    I'm sorry you didn't get to see Evan; hopefully, you will be able to soon.

    Feel better.
    xoxo
