Re: Rant thread, GRRR I sympathize

[(Anonymous)]

I have a family member(FM) who gets botox shots to relax the muscles in their feet to make walking with a walker easier. They're disabled by Parkinson's disease and get botox to uncurl their toes.

Traveling to the neurologist to get the shots is a huge hassle because FM has to get up earlier (they have issues with insomnia and an earlier wakeup screws up their medication schedule), struggle through getting dressed even with help, and they get really stressed out. Teacher is another family member who is a teacher at a school. They have bring their bigger car to transport FM because my household's car is a junker with crappy fuel mileage. The trip can take up to forty five minutes in good traffic and up to two hours if traffic is bad. In order to help transport FM, Teacher has to call in a sub and miss a day of work to be present as a driver.

It NEVER fails that the insurance company will call and quibble about copayments or some kind of screwup that makes us have to cancel the botox appointment last minute, and we get charged a penalty for canceling less than twenty four hours before the appointment. Teacher misses a school day for nothing, FM is tired from not sleeping well, their medication schedule is all screwed up for the day and they get to struggle through changing back into their pajamas.

It's like insurance companies don't care how much hassle they cause as long as they can fuck up your life in any possible way.

Another ridiculous thing that happens if insurance doesn't screw up is the pharmacy fails to deliver the botox on the appointed day and we don't find out until we're just about to go out the door, so FM has to cancel because of that too and Teacher drove out for nothing.

It's so much bullshit and I'm sorry you're struggling with it. It's got to be worse for you because you have to spend more time dealing with an issue that surgery was supposed to fix. :(
