Stupid buracracy. Stupid insurance.
I spent 40 minutes on the phone making an appt. at a clinic I've been going to for 4 years. This is ridiculous. The earliest they can get me in is the 28th. And to add insult to injury, I'm classed as a "New patient." My dr. moved to NC.
This is why it pays to memorize your policy and group number, boys and girls. I rattled them off on the phone, since my wallet was in the van.

I'm not feeling ill. I just have a weird lump. And it's squishy.
I'm keeping my cool about it, and resolutely banishing images of biopsy needles, baldness from chemo and mastectomy scars from my mind. Hey, at least I have back-up boobs. 8)
