Well that was interesting. It didn’t take too long to take my new Medicare insurance out for a ride.
My doctor said he hadn’t seen me in a while.
“That’s good, right?” I said.
He laughed.
I like this doctor. He never pressures me to do something I don’t want to do. It’s as if he actually respects me as a freaking adult. Since I haven’t had a full range of blood tests since 2019 I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have that done.
The big thing I needed was a referral to the sleep apnea specialist. Since I’ve finally got insurance I’m looking to get one of the new c-pap machines. They’ve come a long way. For many years I’ve been using second hand machines that I service and reprogram myself. They are getting harder to come by. I was starting to wonder about building one from scratch.
Hopefully I’ll get along with this specialist.
It’s interesting how I had to find a way to survive until I could get affordable health insurance at age 65. One the bright side, I must be doing a pretty good job of it.

I've got to look into that Dr. thing, Haven't had one since obamacare ran mine into retirement. 65 is only a few years away so long as nothing catastrophic happens I should be ok. Ha.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
DeleteI've just recently started visiting the Doctor types myself. Got all the uncomfortable things done, and found out I'm still alive and kickin, Wasn't just a dream after all. It's good to keep in contact with the pros, that way needs meds and things like your Cpap can be gotten. I've got a pretty good relationship with my doc to. Might be the same guy, ya never know. 80) Congratulations, your healthy.
