I did pilates this morning, but I spent half the day calling medical insurances and offices; OMG, am I beat. In addition, I had an appt with my PCP this AM. She is ordering some bloodwork and talked to me about the abnormal results on my mammogram from Monday. Apparently my left breast is asymmetrical to the right where it hasn't been in the past which could just mean something went wrong with the mammogram process (though I have never had that happen, even last year when I had a learner doing the mammogram, that was fun, lots of retakes), it could be something benign like a fluid filled cyst, they could decied to do a biopsy, they could decide to do another mammogram at a shorter period than normal like 6 months or so it's just a wait and see for the full diagnositic mammogram and ultrasound which I have scheduled for June 9. I did call my gynecologist office as they were sent a copy to and asked if they could refer me to the place I had my first mammogram, it's a much nicer place, I'd rather go there, especially if I can get in sooner and then cancel the June appt. 9. I haven't heard back from them yet. So I'm a bit worried healthwise. The PCP is also supposed to churn me a boatload of referrals - GI doc (post ulcer followup, no issues to speak of), rheumatologist, neuorologist, dermatologist (says I have to see her every 6 months due to fair skin & blue eyes), and podiatrist (to treat bad foot fungus I have been ignoring for years until I finally got an ingrown toenail that hurt like h*ll; though I somehow managed to get it cut down so my toe wasn't throbbing.

Then, because my daughter is 17, I've got to get her out of the pediatrician's office and change the PCP on her insurance. I had to call for a PCP seeing new patients (mine no longer does), then call the insurance to change the PCP on my daughter's card. I hate dealing with insurance companies!

With all this going on, my daughter had an AP Psych. exam I had to drop her off at the high school for. I dropped her off, got a text from her an hour later saying the exam was delayed then another 45 min. later saying that due to technical glitches they have to reschedule the whole exam until next Friday, so I had to pick her up early. It was like 1:30 at this point, I hadn't had lunch, I drove to the high school, we stopped by Starbucks and got mocha frappucinos and I got a turkey bacon & egg white sandwich and bought her a cake pop for being a good sport. Took a quick detour to the library where I had 2 holds waiting and found a few books at the friends of the library sale. Came home and finally ate around 2 PM. I was starving by then.

I haven't had time to use the SAD lamp, do art, anything, nothing like being on the phone half the day with insurance beauracy and needing referrals to drain your energy. The healthcare system sucks SO much!
