Stitched

[clevermanka]

We have a mosquito (or mosquitoes) in the house. I have fifteen bites on my torso, front and back, and one on my right hand in the webbing between index finger and thumb.

Yesterday I was cutting up some chicken for lunch. Slipped and sliced my left index finger. A tight compress and twenty minutes later, it was still bleeding. I called Mommy and she recommended I get myself some stitches.

Two stitches and a tetanus shot cost me $165 because Blue Cross Blue Shield has something called a surgery deductible. Can you believe it?

That was an expensive sammich. I shoulda tried harder to find someone to go out to lunch with me.

I went to the doctor back in 5/1/09 and because hr messed up my insurance, I have received a total of 4 different insurance cards, and even though they are pulling money out of my checks, I didn't appear to be covered in the interm because of how they were switching policies around. I checked the box for Plan A on Preferred Health Systems and got 2 of those cards, a Blue cross card and a Plan B on PHS. Now I am getting different statements from the doctor and the insurance company of what I owe. The whole thing it out of control!

Managed health care FTW.
