update on biopsy

I wanted to update you on my biopsy that came back finally. Everything was normal. Thank God. Now my only problem is that I am still having the terrible pain in my lower right abdomen and after all these tests we still don't know why I am having this pain. Drives me crazy when a doctor can't figure out what is wrong with you and all I have to show for it - no answers! Just bills!

I about died when I received the ultrasound bill from the Ohio Health Riverside Methodist Hospital. The total for the mammogram and my two ultrasounds they did was $1503.00. The insurance only covered $603.24 and my bill on what we owe is $899.75! WHAT??!!

The Ohio Health is in our network for the insurance, but they are saying that it is out-of-network and I know that it is in network. We have went to Grady Hospital in Delaware and it is part of the Ohio Health and it is a hospital that is covered under our insurance, so I am very confused. I need to call the insurance company and get to the bottom of this because I am not paying a $900.00 dollar bill for having NO ANSWERS. Makes me sick to think of it,ha.

Anyways, I will go for a follow-up visit with my OBGYN and see what she wants to do for the pain. She said something about muscle relaxers and something else. I won't have to take them everyday because I don't have the pain everyday. It is the worst when I am on my mentrual cycle (which is 2 and sometimes 3 times a month!) and when I lift alot or do house work all day or work in the yard a long time,ha. Ok, I have the pain alot of the time. Hopefully the medicine will help.

Oh, and by the way, I still have not checked on the lap band weight loss surgery. There is a rumor going around Tom's work that his insurance is changing AGAIN and then I will have to wait to call the new insurance. I will keep you up to date.

Well, gotta go. Need to go pick out Mother's Days gifts tonight for Mother's Day tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day.
