Oh, that's part of my problem. I pay a bit more for this dentist because he is familiar with bipolar and PTSD and that is worth something.

I have really crappy insurance because it is an individual plan. If I lived in a city or searched really hard in the city where I go for therapy and my family dr (an hour away) I might find someone who is covered slightly better but it only amounts to a few dollars difference in the long run.

I think Medicare needs to cover dental. I remember my patients used to complain about that and now I completely understand why.

Tomorrow I have a vision appointment with my individual vision plan and it's not so bad except that I just spent the money I meant to spend on vision on dental.....argh. Too late to cancel though. Maybe they won't make me pay until my new glasses arrive. That's what my old eye dr. did. This one is a new one.

Did I mention my therapist cancelled yesterday because he was in the ER? I have an appt. later in the week but he has a chronic condition and if it flared up badly enough for him to be in the ER he won't be back yet this week. So I'm just a little stressed anyway.....

I also have only slept in my own bed once in the last 10 days b/c I've been housesitting. I'm overwhelmed and this crowned it. My mom has a plan to help pay for all of this but I hate that it involves cutting what I pay her in rent for the next several months.

So maybe, maybe this isn't all about the dentist....
