Our Insurance Company Has Got to Hate Us by Now
It seems the last two years we have had more than our fair share of medical issues and no one in our family has been unscathed.
Our newest insurance claims are for Oleander, once again, for a knee issue. She's had x-rays, physical therapy, a consult with an orthopaedic doctor, and an MRI. So far, all they've discovered is inflammation of the ligaments surrounding her knee and a little fluid under the knee cap. We are now thinking it may be related to her Lymes diagnosis.
The JayP sprained his ankle during baseball season, but after a little rest he seemed to mend without the need for a visit to the doctor's office. Unfortunately, while playing a little football he badly sprained his ankle again. After an x-ray of his foot, the doctor feels he very well may have a fracture of his ankle. We are awaiting a definitive diagnosis from the radiologist. Until then, he's gimping around on a boot and using crutches.
I've lost count of the doctors' bills and insurance claims. It's been a crazy year, and I am thankful we do have fairly decent medical coverage! I wonder and worry what might happen to the quality and availability of care once Obamacare kicks in. I do know our Tricare premiums and co-pays were recently raised.
