Spit

I am again trying to get yet another doctors appointment for this test she wants me to have, my life has become nothing other than doctor appointments, what can ya do? Of course there was nothing available for that week, the only available appointment was for a hospital that was an hour away, yep I took the appointment. It is crazy to me that you get this cancer diagnosis and you cannot be moved to the top of the appointment list, that should be a rule in my opinion. I know that everyone does the best they can do, I know others have cancer, others are worse off than you and all of that but I mean every cancer patient should get priority! You have already been diagnosed with cancer. had surgery (in some cases not), had appointment after appointment, I was ready for treatment. As crazy as that sounds I wanted to start treatment, I wanted to rid my body of any and all cells related to cancer that could be in me, insane I know but that is how I felt. Everything was taking forever it seemed and I was anxious, nothing was going away on its own so I was ready to start the process to get rid of it. As always I tried to keep busy until the appointment. I had actually gone back to work during all of this, I was trying to keep things “normal” and that was a good distraction. Everyone at work was honestly amazing, no one hovered and ask tons of questions, I was thankful for that because it kept me “normal” The day of the appointment I went into work that morning and left early to go for the test. I got there, of course I waited and filled out mounds more paperwork (honestly I should have been in the system by now.) I was called back to the admissions desk and the lady says, “well we called your insurance company and they are not gong to pay for the test” I am sorry, what? When did you call them? Why am I just now hearing about this? I just drove an hour to get here! I ask how much the test was, she told me it was several hundred dollars, I called Mike (he did not go with me as we were not getting any information today) he said and I quote “I do not give a damn how much it is, pay it and do the test” I went back in, told her we would pay. Got all of that taken care of and I was ushered back to the room, which literally had a desk with a matching chair and a chair across from the desk. I was asked to sit in the chair across from the desk, she sat in the other chair, hands me a vile and says starting spitting until you get to the fill line. I looked at her and was like, “Say what??”
