Uggg... Im Getting Annoyed.... Rant



Recommended Posts

**RANT WARNING** haha

I am starting to feel used for my insurance plan.... First was my sleep study, my BMI was high enough that I did NOT need any extra factors for insurance, yet I still had to do two nights there. Ok not the end of the world, but now I cannot understand the logic for my EGD tomorrow... My appointment time is 12:00pm but I need to be there by 8:00am. They said I should be able to get in around 10ish but not guaranteed. So why should I need to spend 4 hrs in a waiting lobby for a 10 min procedure??? Now the real fun part, asking a buddy to take off some time from his job to give me rides.... "Hey Bud can I get a ride between the hours of 6:00am and 1:00pm" totally destroys my day and extremely inconveniences a friend for a 5-10 min procedure...

Whew, I feel better... Until I blow-up on the lady that asks for my $300 dollars for the EGD tomorrow...

Believe that I went in at least three hours before my EGD and it was time well spent. I had several pre-testing/op interviews by anesthesia, nurses and someone else. Also I was in recovery for at least an hour or two after the test.

Crossed fingers that you get in early!

Yea, the time went by really fast for me. I think mine was scheduled for 11:30 and I was there for 8am.

No food or Water from 12am until after the EGD too.

But once at the hospital, I felt really welcomed and taken care of, I hope yours is the same.

After the procedure, you will thank your lucky stars for the ride home. I was ok, physically, but thinking or making important decisions was a bust. I scheduled a phone interview for right after the procedure, and I was a complete air head! Thinking gave me an instant and sharp headache.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
