I understand how what your sister did could feel manipulative, but I hope you can maybe see it as that she cares about and loves you, as do her girls.

Is L possibly able to talk to you tonight and/or tomorrow? Please post here as much as you need, if it helps.
I lost all my doctors who worked at the clinic plus any that are in my other county. Insurance says I have to be within 25miles of my doctor. We thought I might be able to go to the one clinic up here, but they don't accept my insurance up here.

We were going to do a continuity of care, but it got real messy. My doctor is not actually my PCP. She's my PCP's physician assistant. I've seen her for years. I've only seen my PCP once. Insurance doesn't recognize my doctor as my PCP, so I can't do a continuity of care with her, and I can't do a continuity of care with him since I only saw him once.

So by being in a different county than all my doctors, I lose them all. And because I don't have my doctor anymore, I can't be referred to the same program my sister is doing. I'll have to start over with a new doctor and see if he'll refer me.

Btw, all my doctors I lost from the clinic include the P.A., my pdoc, the new psychiatric nurse, and my gynecologist. I also lose my neurologist, neuro-psychologist, and my sleep doctor. I also lost my dentist because she moved. The only doctor I didn't lose is L (thankfully!).

ETA: L has been keeping in contact with me through email all today. She'll be sending me another email tomorrow, we'll have a phone call on Monday, and then session on Tuesday. I can ask for an extra phone call if I need it.
