The other shoe... on backorder

I am bummed out.

I just spoke with the billing dept for Dr. Frenchie. Turns out my suck-ass insurance won't pay for ANY of Friday's procedure. None, nada, zip. And the cost is a pretty hefty sum. A sum I am not willing to pay if I do not have to, ESPECIALLY considering this will likely be the first of three procedures: Explorative, Corrective & Follow-Up. Corrective being three-four times the cost of the Explorative.

Now this doesn't mean "no hysteroscopy for me". But it does mean that I will be putting it off a while longer. Long enough to pick up the phone and talk to RE#2.

"Hey there..It's me."
"What do you want?"
"Listen, that other doctor means nothing to me. I know now it is you that can bring me through this. Not HIM."
"Mmmhmmm. Sure. And what makes me think you won't up and run off with the Frenchman again?"
"Awww, come on. I promise."

So I will go back to the old dr. The one who I did like, in spite of her gawdawful staff. I will have the procedure through her, as she is on my insurance and the costs will be minimal. After that, I can go back to Frenchie if I so choose.

In the meantime, I feel a dramatic pause.
