Finally got the stitches out of my back this morning. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kshandra and I have ended up with the same dermatologist, who we both love. Due to the insurance fuckery, I had to tell them to submit today's visit and the surgery to remove the tumor from my back directly to Medicare. That's what Medicare told me to do.
After the obligatory visit to Starbucks so Kiri could get her arcane tea drink, we headed home. Kiri had taken the day so we could sort out what happened to my insurance. I'd make the calls, but my aphasia gets really bad when I'm stressed.
We still don't know what happened; but we found out that my I'm still enrolled in California Connect, and Anthem/Blue Cross is doing the re-enrollment process. So that appears to be resolved. We hope.
What we really need to do soon is sit down with some legal person and hash out a durable power of attorney so Kiri can manage my affairs, my medical directives (and there's a really tough conversation - when do I want to give up and die?), and my will. It's not like I have a large estate to be divided amongst my heirs, but I do want my wishes made clear.
But for now, I have my insurance resolved, my stitches are out, my Baycon schedule is settled, and tomorrow I pick up my mom from SFO and then get to enjoy Earthbaby's company event at the San Jose Giants' game.
I can't complain. Much.
