Another trip to the doc.

Yesterday afternoon featured another visit to the neurologist. I left work at noon for a 2:45 appointment and due to rain and traffic in the city, didn't get home until 5. I really can't believe that this is where we're being sent for medical care, but we've asked and there is not a lot we can do to change things at the moment.

In years past, open enrollment at work took a couple minutes to look through the best choices. Now, the choices are suddenly a lot more complicated. It's not just about the primary care physicians, but the specialists, and how much it may cost to see them, and how far we may have to go. We'll have choices, but it's complicated. Chances are we won't get it perfect, but hopefully, we just don't do anything too stupid that blows our coverage somehow, now or in the future. HMO vs. PPO. Lots to look at. PPOs seems to come with more choices, more costs, and a lot for fine print. The fine print scares me a little.

Anyway, the news isn't any better. They're still doing some investigations into a seemingly endless number of possibilities. The doctor is ordering several more tests, some of which require prior authorization from insurance, are done at only a few selective locations, and probably cost a bundle. Hopefully, none of these show Little S to have more issues than we already know about. Sadly enough, that's about all we can hope for at this point.
