tiamatladyFuck you Eris, you evil bitch! You really fumbled,and my life doesn't suck.
So I'm concerned by the lack of personal time at this place. They actually had a question on the info sheet "will you require a private consultation with the surgeon?" I know it meant "Alone with the surgeon, to discuss sensitive items" but I thought of it as "The surgeon will not actually address YOU 'Tell her she needs to have this tooth out.'"
Weird.
I'm just wigged about the coldness of it, and the alternating competency/lack of competency I got there. The first chick couldn't remember to put the lead shielding on me BEFORE she got me locked and loaded into the freaky full jaw Xray machine. Then they wanted me to sign a paper that authorized work I wasn't having, and which mentioned me watching the video I WAS IN THE middle of watching. The doctor was in for about 5 seconds. They made a LOT of light over my evil tooth - and he said "Yeah that might not be the tooth causing your discomfort." Yeah, FUCK YOU buddy yes it is. If I wake up from this and find that tooth STILL IN FUCKING PLACE, I'm losing it. he's more worried about the wisdom. I'll be honest, now I am too. I think he's going to have to slice into the gum on that one. I'm pretty sure that's going to be the suck. I have to be very careful. Otherwise I think it'll be cake. They're putting me out, for a half hour, 45 minutes. Not a problem. I have prescriptions for antibiotics (*GAGS* More clindamycin, and HE doesn't know about smaller pill needs. I'm going to have to take this to the Pharmacy on Monday and talk to the pharmacist about calling for either authorization on charging this one, OR probably easier, calling my own dentists about a refill on my LAST script.) and an noninflammatory. I don't want to take this, but given that I'm about to have 4 teeth yanked - probably a good idea *grins*
Today's visit got TACKED ON to the amount I'm being charged for the surgery. Which means NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE today!!!! *does dance of joy!* And the cost of the surgery is LOWER that was first estimated. It was at $1200 something, with today it'll be $1400 something. This is NOT the over $2000 I was quoted. This makes WAY more sense. It might be lower, depending on how long I'm under for.
It seems like the weight of financial responsibility lifted. I have the info to apply for the credit line. If I don't get it, I'm holding the Unit to her promise of the cash check on one of her "empty" cards. Then, I'll pay the bill. It can only make her look good, as long as I'm able to pay it. It also means I can, in theory, budget for it, then pay it all off in Tax season.
They're far more reasonable than my first conversation with them. If I have an issue, I'll just call and talk to them. The ladies I was dealing with were younger, not so crotchety, AND the one making my appointment is having HER wisdoms out next week.
Perhaps best of all - the appointment is August 13, at 11AM. This is a Friday. I won't be FUBARing my schedule to deal with it, and will have the three days to recover. I have enough time to schedule everything. However this WILL eff with my birthday plans, I will not be able to party like a rock star, as I'll have to work on Wednesday to make up for Friday. but, it's better than the first appointment they had - which was August 10, at 9AM. That would be ungod o'clock ON MY BIRTHDAY! Plus it's a Tuesday. Bad for schedule, bad for psyche. The receptionist was very cool about me not wanting to be cut open on my birthday.
Given that I DIDN'T have to pay for the initial consultation (OK I should have, but right now I'm taking what I can get) I RAN right over to my stylist, Krista. I now have my SHORT PERKY HAIR BACK! Take that Eris! Screw you insurance company! She cut it super short, and I let her style it big, although I'm not fond of it big. No More Ponytails! She was awesome, taking me over her GRANDMOTHER (man did I feel bad tho! The grandmother watched my haircut, and all the little hair bits flying around *grins*)
See NOW I truly feel like I can look SMASHING tomorrow. I'm going to spike my hair up and maybe wear one of the poufy skirts!
So tonight is some filing, some quality TV watching (If they'll get fucking racing off my TV. First it was golf now it's racing from NH, what next!) and repairing some of my club clothes. The poufy skirts need attention and so does my purple and black corsets. I also might try and rearrange some closet space, and maybe I'll pull some stuff out of room for putting into storage. I feel great! No more antibiotics (for now - I just took my last dose) money for bill paying and shoe buying (I'm SO buying something - it'll be on clearance or whatever, but I want something, flip flops, something sandaly that DOESN'T have heels, a casual sandal.) and something Gothy tomorrow, whether it's Lowell, or if that doesn't work out, Curses.
Yay!
I'm going to veg til the Unit leaves. my sister was here letting FABF use the computer, and started a fight with me because _I_ made snide comments to HIM. Maybe HE shouldn't come here! The excuse of "I didn't' t know you would be here" doesn't apply. I'll tell you ONE thing, when this is MY house - I'm changing the locks and NOT giving any of THEM a key - so they can't waltz in here. You don't see him trying to use MY computer do you? I'm thinking about setting up a lockout on my mother's computer, so that when SHE needs it it's open, but when she's NOT using it, it locks out the internet. See how far they get with THAT. *evil grin*
Of to veg, and turn on the A/C and guzzle soda. I'm sorry, I'm liking it a lot!

I would prefer that Eris address his/her self to my love life. THAT I can handle as interesting. But I don't presume to tell Eris what to do.
*shrugs* I still feel good in giving a "fuck you HA!" to someone. Eris is as good as any *grins*
