My afternoon bitch is my back is killing me, it feels like it needs to crack but it won't. It hurts to sit and to stand. I think I'm going to request a massage tonight.
@carmstr4 so sorry about your husband and dog! (((hugs)))
My gripe today: my left eye has been twitching since Saturday and continues to this point... just did it again!... I'm well hydrated and sleeping plenty...WTH??
The cray pregnancy dreams need to knock it off... they've made a serious switch from "quirky" to "terrifying".
First- DH doesn't work today?! Wtf. Idk why. Anf then he has an attitude all damn day. I don't wanna be around that, and I was suppose to sit on my ass and eat junk food and watch the little mermaid with DD. Second- nose bleed? Seriously it looks like someone was murdered in the bathroom, I didn't think you could have that much blood come out of your nose if it wasn't broken. It was just to much. Third- DH invites sil over and I'm moody, emotional, and overly exhausted. I DO NOT want to be around her know it all, happy, loud, better than everyone self. Today didn't go how it was suppose to.
craaaamps. all throughout the night, so I got to watch the clock tick down until I had to get up. uuuugh....
oh. and one other thing...
Lately, it literally hits my last nerve when someone asks me "How are you feeling?". I have trained myself to breathe, smile, and say "oh I'm great, thanks for asking." For some reason, all I want to say to these cordial people is FUCK OFF! I don't know if it's because 90% of the people asking I feel are only doing it as a way to share their own stories or if I really have morphed into some heartless bitch.
Completely agree! There's a girl at work who I've never gotten along with and she's pregnant too. Ever since she found out I'm expecting too, that's the first question out of her mouth! It's very annoying.
Finally! My September Siggy Challenge: TV Show I'll Be Binge Watching

I try to remind myself that it's nice that people care enough to ask how I'm doing. But when they ask I usually end up complaining and saying I feel like crap, so I feel bad (the stock "fine how are you" was fine when I was in college passing people on our way to/from classes and didn't have time to actually stop). I end up thinking "if you didn't want to hear how crappy I feel you shouldn't have asked."
I've spent the better part of two months now discretely scratching my crotch raw, had a pap done at my last appointment four weeks ago, and apparently it was too much extra work for anyone at my OB office to call me to inform me of the yeast that showed up in my results and call in a prescription. No, better to let me suffer until my next appointment four weeks later to take care of it. Thanks jackasses.
And then, my initial tests showed I am anemic. So I started the iron supplement four weeks ago as directed. They retested me today and my levels are even lower. She asked if I was taking the supp, and when I told her yes, she accused me of not taking it. "Some ladies say the are when in fact they are not." But I am, bitch! So then she tells me to double the dose, and we'll retest at the next appointment in four weeks. If they can't get it under control, they'll try oral iron and then iron infusions or something. She said it's serious. Shouldn't we be retesting sooner than four weeks then? I'd really like to get this figured out and get my energy levels back up before, um, I give birth maybe??
I'm so over this OB practice.

I totally had a panic attack at a bridal shower yesterday while holding my friends baby. It hit me that "holy crap" I'm gonna have to of these little things.... I quickly passed him back to his mom and cried in the bathroom!
@blue+skies that sucks I don't know how I would deal. Hopefully both medications do what they are supposed to. I too find it weird they would wait 4 weeks to test again, but I'm no doctor...
@NClady89 I love that place because the moonshine is delicious and you can taste every single flavor for free. I'd be pissed too if I had to go and watch everyone else enjoy it.
We do too!!! We have been several times before or maybe I wouldn't have been as mad lol They introduced a new kind this weekend called charred I'm a little jealous I couldn't try it
I'm sorry to have been the one to torture you with that post. I feel your pain of not knowing what was happening. We can't wait for you to join in on the conversation.
@crystalangel79...you and me both! Totally would've skipped it. On a brighter note, I dug deeper into the EOB on Anthem and it looks like they are requesting additional information and once that is received, they'll reopen the claim and benefits will be determined. Takes about 45 days. So let's HOPE they get it that i'm AMA and at least cover some if not ALL of it. Worst case...since the lab didn't send a bill and Anthem takes at least 45 days...at least I don't have to pay that all right now. lol I also see that the lab has a Patient Assistance Program so maybe if I offer up a lump sum, smaller than the bill, they'll take it lol...wishful thinking.
Really wishing I hadn't used my tax return to pay a credit card LMAO! Could've used it about now...
If it gets to the point where you have to pay, definitely negotiate down. I was just looking at my EOB for the nuchal and they charged $540, empire paid $150, and I owe nothing else. negotiate the hell out of that shit.

Also I'm an ellipsis abuser today.
My left eye had been twitching for like 2 days too! Is if a preggers thing?

We'll be waiting!
I actually don't know what post thos is referring to. It was people IRL asking me, like coworkers and stuff. Lol... As a FTM I am leaving it open to see how I feel after one
Referring to the Walking Dead post I made. People from work would start to talk about it before I got to catch up, and I would run from the room with my ears covered, yelling.
SUPER fucking PISSED. Not only has it been over 2 weeks and I have yet to get my MaterniT21 test results back, the damn lab just sent me a bill saying that they are non-network providers...meaning...non-network for ANY insurance. They billed Anthem and then were SUPPOSED to attach the bill and include a return envelope for me to remit payment or to send them the Anthem check if I get one...I tried to call but of course the lab facility is now closed.
So I went onto Anthem's site to just check and see what payment was submitted to them by the lab...$2762.00 and it was fucking DENIED. Are you KIDDING ME?? I have awesome insurance with a low deductible and i'm over 40...WTF. Peeved that A) my OB didn't say "oh hey, you might want to check to see if this is covered as it's totally elective" if that was the damn case and that it's $2762.00!!!! That's almost the same as my total out of pocket YEARLY maximum!!!
To top it off...I got another bill for $86 for the second blood panel I did to test my progesterone and HCG back in January...I think Anthem thought it was a duplicate bill when in fact it was two separate tests. Tried calling them but apparently they close at 4pm too. So as of now...I have over $2800 in bills sitting here AND no test results. Awesome.
Monday's SUCK.
@Reverey I had a similar rage fest when I opened my EOB from the insurance re: my "integrated screening" blood work. I called the lab and freaked, but they had some good news for me. (I think you're in California too? If so, maybe this applies to you as well.) Apparently, because the integrated screening is administered by the California Dept. of Public Health (I didn't know this because the blood work was done at my regular lab) they don't bill your insurance properly. So you have to wait to get the bill from the Dept. of Public Health then send them your EOB and they cover it.
Or the only paying $250ish is good too. Sorry your Monday sucked.
