I haven’t been journaling here because I’ve had company.  We’ve been busy.  So busy that I slept well, drank lots of water, played pickle ball, went swimming, took bus tours, went to two zoos, took boat rides, played chess, played cards, and went for lots of walks.  Ate out twice a day.  I had a great week!  Now I have one week to get my digestion back on track, and then, I will be ready for more family on another continent.

Pictures coming soon.

My mom’s new doctor is amazing!  We are SO lucky to have found her.  She is talking about having her (88 and covid body sleepy) get a PT and start golfing again.  My mom is so excited she can hardly stand it.

Now I can tell you what happened with her old doctor, who she loved and trusted.  His office called and told her she had to be on the phone with them every other Friday for “Chronic Care.”  The doctors office said her Medicare would no longer cover her medical bills if she didn’t.  They repeated the same thing to me.  The next day we looked it up and called the office manager to let them know what the phone person said and that she would prefer not to participate.  (PAGE 34 of Medicare booklet).  The office manager wasn’t very nice but she did say that they shouldn’t be misrepresenting Medicare rules.  We received a letter with no legible signature a few weeks later and after another appointment.  They fired both of us as patients.  My mom was devastated; she really liked and trusted him.  She would have given up her card game and/or nap if it meant keeping her doctor.   

Who kicks an 88-year-old patient to the curb and refuses to refill necessary prescriptions and sends a letter with (one year) backdated emergency care dates?  My brother wants to turn them in, but my mom still thinks the doctor doesn’t know and the office is acting without his knowledge.  That could be, but my feelings are he should control his office.

As it turns out, all for the best.  This new doctor is incredible.
