My pdoc of 17-20 years will gladly take me back if I go back to traditional Medicare. I’ve really thought hard about this and just can’t do that. The supplement I chose is just better all around and I’m afraid to mess with insurance matters. I will write him a letter telling him how much I appreciate him and what he means to me and probably get him a gift as well. I’m not as wowed by my NP but since he supervises her all is not lost. I see her again in December.

On a side note: I wear flip flops pretty much year round and feel it is my duty to have presentable feet. I go to an inexpensive training college about ten miles away in heavy traffic. I went today...got home and promptly dropped my purse on my big toe. Cue having to call and explain...go back and so on. It wasn’t allotted for in my plans. Maybe that’s a sign not to create such a tight schedule.

I’m feeling better. I’ve been forced up and out of the house the past several days due to family needs and obligations and I think that has helped. Maybe a couple of bad days was all it was in the end.

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful rest of your week and hugs to those that are struggling.
