Oh man. Health insurance is the last thing you should have to worry about at times like this… or ANY time, actually. The fact that we still live in a country where health care isn’t just a given continually makes me sad.

Take care, Pants.

Talk away. It helps. I still talk about having cancer to anyone and everyone who will listen. You never know who you will help in sharing your experiences.

Pants, we’re here to listen. And if that helps, I am glad, because you’re right, no one can say anything to help because it’s just not “fixable” in that way.

By the way, I am a Benefits professional. If you have issues, I can tell you how to “insurance speak”. You have my e-mail. Let me know if I can help interpret any bullshit that comes your way.

Hi. This is the first time I have read your blog, and it has really make me feel less alone in my pain. I had an early miscarriage and it was kinda a shock, cos you feel your body changing and then it stops.
Everything will work out in the end….. Please continue to write!!

That is really shitty that in addition to dealing with the trauma of a miscarriage, you have to worry about your insurance.

And, I think that you should write about your experiences — there is a lot of healing in that. Personally, as your friend, I am glad that I can be a vehicle to your healing by reading what you have to say.

I am not going to tell you what happened to my friend after her recent medical experience. It will only upset you.

I will agree with you though. Health care is a bunch of bullshit. For example, if I want to go to therapy I have to first pay $200 out of pocket before my benefits kick in AND they count those visits that I am paying full price for as part of the 12 I am allowed. WTF? I cry bullshit!

Whenever there is loss, people seem to have no idea what to do when really all that’s needed is love and listening. Why is it that something so simple seems to strain people so much?

Aw Pants. I feel for you. I excel at worrying about things before they happen, and anticipating how I’m going to go batshitcrazy when things go the wrong way that I don’t want them to. I constantly have to remind myself that there’s no point worrying about things that haven’t happened yet. Of course, it’s a battle between my emotions and my logic. And emotions normally win. But every once in a while my logical side prevails.

I hope you don’t stress yourself out too much about things that are out of your control. Break things off in small manageable pieces and try to anticipate everything actually working out. Because I’m betting things will end up going your way. If not, I plan on going batshitcrazy on your behalf. :^)
