If I have never experienced a let down in my life, yesterday was the best example I could ever think of. I found the absolute BEST doctor I have ever been to, hands down. The entire visit was everything you could ever hope for: speedy service, the doctor sat down with me for 2 hours and really listened to me, examined my head and neck thoroughly, seemed genuinely concerned, made a plan with me on paper of what we were going to do and everything...only I found out when I left there that he's
NOT IN MY INSURANCE NETWORK! I had no idea. I was referred to him by another doctor, and didn't even check. Rather than make me pay out of pocket, he said he would write off the cost of my visit. Very nice. I'm crushed though.
Moving on to the info I found out...no change on the MRI's from last week, but he would like for me to have a more specialized MRI called a "stand up" MRI in Tallahassee that shows a better picture than supine images. You can see in the example I found online that the sitting image better shows the herniation of the cerebellum because of the downward force.
He also wanted blood work done since I've been on the same medicine close to a year, but all the tests he ordered are null and void because my insurance won't pay for anything he wants. Boo. So we're back to square one finding a neurologist I can trust down here. I NEVER thought I would say I miss Montgomery, but I finally found a reason I do. That and we're going to miss the 4th annual doxie races this weekend. Double boo.
So as usual, I will ask you to keep praying. I still have a headache, and still have no doctor :(
