the title says it all about how i feel to a degree.
i kept a pretty detailed written log of todays journey. some of which i’ll go into here.
my stay in California is extended one more day.
yet another thing has popped up that SCIF did not approve, and did not get accomplished the last time I was here in California.
lessons learned.
it’s cheaper to rent a car for 7 days, than it is 5 days, and 4 days, and only slightly more expensive than 1 day/20 hours, atleast with the current daily base rate I got. $69/day.
If I would have gotten the 7 day rental it would be $273 with tax. Whereas the 4 day will be $343 with tax. So that’s how the rental car business makes money.
I have to go down to the front desk tomorrow before 11 am to extend my hotel.
i’ve been running around since 10 am. Sat in the doctor’s office for over 2 1/2 hours before being seen by the Nurse, and then Physicians Assistant, then by the Doctor.
Had major confusion about the Doctors offer to take over my case. later resolved to he can’t, but his consult, and referrals are still OK to my knowledge.
I need to make some calls tomorrow, to figure out where I’m going for the Neuro consult, and also provide my Primary QME with the referral info provided by the Pain Management Doctor who I saw earlier today.
At this moment in time, the only reason, I’ve come to California is to have the Range of Motion testing, I got an unexpected referral, and also again the Neuro Consult, which is up in the air, as to whether or not it will get completed in this trip.
I need to speak with my Primary QME.
tomorrow my sister and nephew are flying to AZ.
I would rather not leave, and get more accomplished, and also save on the rental car as a bonus, but likely things will fall through.
oh yeah, i couldn’t get the time with the Psych today, but I did provide him, or at least the receptionist with the information and letters I received from my old/former Flashcom workers.
I need to write a letter, with regards to all my issues with his report, which there are many.
There has been a lot of confusion in my case, everyday something new, or confusing comes up, and here I am stuck in the middle. I don’t want to be here, I want out, I want to get healthy, and treated, and feel relief. I’m tired, hurting, and in pain everyday. I wish I could see an end in sight, but I cannot. It’s quite depressing. I’m just going to lay here in my hotel room, and try and relax. At least I ate today at a great vietnamese food place PHO 99 on harbour blvd.
maybe later, I’ll get another cup of ramen.
I should lay down now. Did I mention I’ve been up since 5:30 am? I was hoping to maybe have energy to see some friends, but I’m spent. I asked for a 8am wake up call, felt weird, considering I was up, showered, and ate at the fabulous breakfast bar.
Damn the WIFI here sucks, I’ll just write a bit more till it comes up so I can post this. OK so I wrote up the tags, still no wifi… yes, it’s back. quick post it!
reminder again to post pictures, prolly after I get home to AZ and recoup for a few days.
