OK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

OK I had like the worst day,, well not compared to some but to me it was bad!!,, I had to get up at 5:30am and go to school today , I am back in school and this morning school stuff is killing me , I am soooooo not a morning person. Then I have been waiting for results for 2 weeks now and its killing me to wait, plus I was susposed to talk to rhonda today from my doc's office and we were going to decide on weather I would have my pre-op tomm or wait til next week So my mom is in town at my house and is staying with me b/c she was hoping I would have heard something by now and she could make plans on weather to go back home or not accordingly. So she suggested maybe we could just call medicaid directly so she could go home, b/c now my meme is realllllly sick,, so on my way home from school I wait on hold with medicaid for 32 mins yep 32 FREAKIN MINS , and when someone comes on they tell me they can't help me I have to speak to a supervisor,, so she gets on the phone and doesn't know why the hell I have to speak with her, and then tells me that , that location doesn't handle that and that my doctor's office has a number they can personally call and get a answer that is in baton rouge, where they summited my claim,, so I think to myself great now I have to deal with dr. O's office again,, so I call and rhonda is home sick and the insurance lady there is sooooooooooooo rude I wanted to jump through the phone and scream!!! She wouldnt help me and even after getting her office manager on the phone , SHE WOULDN'T HELP ME! ,I said wait wait wait let me get one thing straight before we go any further , I, YES I AM THE PATIENT RIGHT? THE CUSTOMER? b/c last I heard and saw customer service was something people were susposed to have at work,, I know in my occupation you have to have it or your OUT. Trust me once the surgery is through that office will hear from me!!!!!!!!!! ,, so of course they wouldnt call,, god forbid they go out of their way.. And of course I didnt get my letter today either ,, and I am soooooooooooo sick of waiting ,, its killing me.. Well just wanted to vent ,, sorry you had to read all my waiting drama !!!!

I know it's so hard to wait and not be able to get answers! We are flooded today with information so quickly, it is difficult to accept why we have to wait for anything anymore! Well, for me it is!!! In this age of communication, one would hope it would be better! Sadly, I think the opposite is happening! Ugh! Keep us posted! We're anxious too! Best, Vanessa

Hang in there Ashleigh. My journey took 8 years and the wait, while frustrating, was worth it. I have grown and I am now in the right moment and the right time. Patience is so hard to have, but remember, this journey is a long one and this is just the tip of patience testing that you will encounter. Everything in it's own time. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers....hope to meet you in Baton Rouge one day!!!
