Bad Day

I didn't want to post about this until now because i had such a great time on our vacation and i didn't want to spoil the vacation fun vibe i had going with this blog but i guess it's time to post about it. so when we got home on Thursday night, all was well, but Friday was another story. first off, i called to find out more information about my hernia surgery. i have been going back and forth with doctors and insurance for a few weeks now. every one kept sending me somewhere else and that person would send me another place. plus there was a lot of waiting for return phone calls in the mean time. well..... long story short, i was told that they would not do my surgery. the sucky thing is that i had two different types of insurance. one was for anything with a high deductible and the second was for pregnancy only. the one for anything expired on the 30th of august but my doctor would not give me the referral for a surgeon until it had been 6 weeks after the baby was born which put me at august 29th. didn't give me enough time to get to a doctor and get the surgery but even if i had, she sent me to a doctor that doesn't accept my insurance anyways, so it was a big waste of time and a total mess. if i had been able to go to the surgeon before 6 weeks and had i been sent to the correct surgeon that would take my insurance, my operation would have been covered. the pregnancy insurance will not cover the surgery. so that sucks. i am going to just have to take it easy and try not to do any heavy lifting or anything that effects my abdomen. not as easy as it sounds. so i called mister studly at work to give him the bad news but he didn't answer so i texted him instead. then he texted me back a little while later saying that it sucked and also that one of our tortoises that he has at his work died. this is a small tortoise that is an endangered species and costs about one thousand bucks. we traded a bunch of our larger less expensive tortoises for it a couple of years ago. so anyways, it died while we were on vacation. not sure what happened. the other guy at his office was feeding him. anyways. so after i got this text about the tortoise, i called him to find out what had happened and when mister studly picked up the phone he told me that he had just been in a car accident!! he was okay and everything so that was good, but the truck they use for deliveries had some body damage and a popped tire. a guy pulled out right into him. if it weren't for mister studly's quick reflexes, the accident would have been much worse. in case you don't know mister studly is the owner of a nut and bolt warehouse so the truck is our responsibility and the guy that hit him was driving some one elses car and gave an expired insurance card. we're hoping that everything is covered. the truck is older and kind of banged up as it is, but we definitely can't afford to get it repaired ourselves. luckily it's still drivable.
so that's our wonderful news. I'm just trying to see the positive side of things so i don't go nuts. we've had a string of bad luck lately but we have so much to be thankful for as well and i know things could always get worse. we're lucky compared to a lot of people so I'm trying not to be negative. it was just a bad thing to come home from such a great vacation to those icky things.
