In case anyone is worried about my health re: that last post, I'm OK. Except that I am having a plantar fasciitis flare-up.
And I can't get in to see my most excellent podiatrist because when they changed my health coverage at the beginning of the year, apparently they reverted me to a different HMO that said podiatrist doesn't take.
I didn't see said podiatrist for the last flare-up, either, b/c then I was pregnant and I liked the blood lab on the other HMO better.
So I can have either the good blood lab, or the good foot doctor, but not both.
But, remember, in socialized medicine [sic], they'd take away our freedom of choice!
ETA: I think I am especially wound up b/c the orthotics I probably need aren't covered by insurance anyway -- this whole rigamarole is just for the doctor's visit(s).
