I am still dealing with my bills, and my emotions regarding the care I received regarding my hospital stay because of my accident. I won’t bother writing all the details, but I find some of it very upsetting. Cried yesterday after speaking to someone at the hospital about two specific issues. He was not cruel, but I still find the answers frustrating. Well, one answer he admitted the it seemed they had not tended to one of my wounds well. He did reduce my fee by $104, because I had to pay that to urgent care a day after being discharged by the hospital because the hospital had screwed up. I guess that was a win. He said things do get missed, and had no trouble reducing my bill by that amount. So, at least that part of the discussion went well. My big upset is regarding all the CT scajs they did on me. I haven’t cried very much regarding the accident. I have not had any nightmares or lasting fears of the accident itself, but some things that happened at the hospital stay with me. I know eventually it will all be far behind me, but I also certain feelings will be easily triggered for the rest of my life.
Anyway, this hospital stuff and ongoing need to visit some follow up doctors is very difficult for me. I kind have PTSD with doctors and their staff in general.
Right now I am wondering if I made an appointment with a doctor who is going to charge me a fortune. After the conversation I had with his nurse today I have a sinking feeling.
I don’t know if it all has to do with the stress related to what I mention about, but I have been short tempered, forgetful beyond believe, clumsy, all sorts of crap. I just screwed up an hour ago at the gas pump. I get 10¢ off at Kroger for every $100 I spend. I scanned my card, then started to put premium in instead of regular unleaded. So I stopped after 2 gallons, and started over, and of course I had lost the discount. Stupid stuff.
Otherwise, things are ok. I am looking forward to my cruise to Alaska in a few weeks.
