If I wasn't a Christian Woman!

I got some decent news today. Actually, anything that isn't bad news at this point is good news. So, I got some good news today. I had my appointment with my eye doctor and was expecting my usual. I thought the swelling would be up, my blind spots would be worse, and I would be heading in for my, almost weekly, spinal tap. It had actually all started out very encouraging though! The swelling was not up, my blind spots had improved, and I do not need a spinal tap for now. I left the doctor's office in a great mood for the first time in a long time.

My mood, however, has changed rather quickly, and now I am about to stab this insurance lady with a spork.

My doctor has been very good at trying out every medication option there is before we consider surgery. I love this, because I do not want surgery on my eye balls! The last thing I need right now is to hear my insurance company tell me no. My doctor told me that the generic form of my medication just isn't doing the trick, and if there's even a chance that the brand name form will work on me I want to try it! My insurance, however, doesn't seem to think that this is quite as important as I do.

I like to think that I am usually a fairly nice person, but this lady just pushed the wrong button I guess, because I don't think she would believe I had a nice bone in my body. Poor insurance lady, but you know what, by the end of the conversation she had finally given in and helped me just a tiny bit. She must have finally got sick of me, because she put me through to someone who was actually helpful. It looks like I might actually get the medication I need, thanks mainly to the work of my doctor, not the insurance company, but I will be so grateful to get it!


If everything goes really well, I might make it an entire week without a single doctor's visit. What will I do with all this free time?
