They better reimburse you what Medicaid paid or I would be reporting them. That's some BS right there. Crossing fingers you can find a new rheumatologist and that they are too far away.

Good mornin y'all.
lots of stuff going on. My Medicaid was charged for my visit to the rheumatologist that I paid out of pocket for. Fraud anyone? So there is that. Going to deal with that today. Not happy. 155 is a lot for me to be unplanned.
we have a chance for severe weather today. We had a surprise hail storm yesterday morning with golf ball sized hail. So weird. We have had the hottest winter on record here. Thanks La Niña.
i have to pick up prescriptions from two places. Call a doctors office. I should be getting a letter from the Medicaid company about finding another rheumatologist.
my mental stuff is pretty dark right now. My pains is just so severe I wake up in tears. But I persist. I am to stubborn to give into this **** I sometimes wish I wasn't though. It'd be much easier.

Good Friday-Eve Gang. I didn't think yesterday's post went through. I kept getting a Gateway error, but it looks like it did. A crazy thing happened this morning. I like to a local radio station 106.5 and they have this contest every M-F called Google or Genius. Today the question was what is the main ingredient in Tiramisu? Since I make that once in a while I knew the answer was Mascarpone Cheese. I called and just so happened to get through. I won a gift certificate to a local restaurant for either lunch or dinner. I've only been trying for a few years to win something. The DJ Shawn Murphy asked if I looked it up or if I knew it and I told him I knew is because I make it. :)
The BAU audit is done until the follow-up in June and it went very well. Only 61 finding which over half have already been resolved. The last one was addressed to the plant manager, but since I found out I can make revisions and updated to equipment inspection forms and other types of inspections I told him I would take care of that. I've already put together a binder with all of the inspections we do and will go through them to make and revisions needed.

Going to the Y for low impact aerobics tonight. We did weight training last night.
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
Happy Hump Day Gang!! I am definitely over Winter. I got out early yesterday due to the weather coming in and ended up coming in late today due to 1/2 inch of ice on the roads. Yea I'm not risking myself or my car for anything. Luckily my boss is understanding. Hopefully this weather starts heating up so the snow melts.
The Y closed early yesterday due to the weather which we kind of figured. At least they make sure their workers are safe. I ended up sorting through one of the file cabinet draws yesterday and got rid of a bunch of stuff.
B: coffee and yogurt with blueberry
L: egg salad
D: chicken loaf
Hitting the Y tonight since they will be open.
Have a great day everyone.
Happy New Year! It's great to hear from you again. Wishing you the best with the surgery process and a wonderful 2026 ahead.

Afternoon y'all.
eck kind of day. No reply from the rheumatologist's office so I'm on my own I guess, put in a request to the insurance company. My pcp doesn't know a place, likely Lubbock again. :::rollseyes:::
food isn't great but not horrible either. I need to get my head outta my ass.
I did switch providers at the mental health clinic. So...that's something good I guess.
Happy Tuesday Menuer's!! Looks like I will be working a half of day due to sleet and freezing rain coming in. Snow I can handle driving in, but not ice. I'm keeping an eye on the radar. Today is the last day of the BAU audit and there were some minor findings nothing that we can't fix. Other than that I just have typical month end stuff to do.
The veggie seeds I plant on the 14th are already sprouting. So far tomatoes, eggplant and some of the peppers have come up. Oh and we have 24 tulips that have sprouted out of 45 I bought. Technically they should have been planted outside in the ground last Fall, but I forgot I bought them.
B: tea and 2 bacon cheese egg bites
L: leftover salad from yesterday's lunch
D: chicken soup
Due to the weather I think I will just do the treadmill at home tonight.
Have a great day everyone.
In an increasingly diverse world of games, stands out as a unique intellectual game for those who love challenges and language sophistication. But is this game for everyone? Let's find out who Octordle is really for!
Mel I just love the chainmaille work you do. I'm glad you called the provider and they were good about it. Hopefully you find something that helps your pain.

Good mornin y'all.
sorry I missed most of last week. It was a whirlwind of crapola. I got to the rheumatologist's office and was told they no longer take my insurance. So I had to pay 155 out of pocket to get seen and get some answers. Lots of info was given. The doctor is great, she volunteers at a little to no cost clinic and we're going to try and make it where I can see her there. So fingers crossed it'll work out.
I have non-radiographic axial spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the lower spine and other places too. I also have DISH, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hypertosis. Which basically mean I have a **** ton of bone spurs. Usually affects older than 50 year olds and men. Oh and shocker fibromyalgia. So it is going to be a challenge to treat alllll of this. I am started the first line drug for the arthritis stuff. As many of you with fibromyalgia you know not a lot for that to be done.
the drug did not work and made me sick so I am supposed to hear back today about what we'll do next. It helped with the pain but I was uncomfortable with it. Celebrex may be better than other NSAIDs but after more research I was going to ask to switch too.
I finally made the call to switch providers at the mental health clinic. I was so nervous but she was very nice about it,
