I have been trying to get an appointment with a specialist. Even with my doctor's referral it has been nothing but red tape. No one is available or my insurance won't cover it. I feel like I have spent my day making call after call. Luckily I have chores to do in between. But I wonder how I would ever do this if I was at work. Since my doctor has referred me I feel like they should do this, not me. After about the sixth call fell through I felt exhausted and broke down in tears. After a few minutes of crying though I felt ok, took a deep breath, got back on the phone. I know a year ago this would have put me in bed all day...Thank goodness for therapy.
