Insurance battle

Spent a few hours today trying to sort out wee Caden's health insurance. We thought we could just add him on his daddy's insurance. Well not so. So first thing, I had to cancel his appt. Today was a big day, as I scheduled the little man to get snipped. (no pun intended) Turns out, even though he shows on my insurance, he will not be active until May.


So we work with Gayle's insurance get all the paperwork and filings done, while I'm trying to get a quick appt scheduled. The doctor we were going to see does not accept the new insurance. Caden is now approaching two weeks and it's not like we want to wait til pre-school.


I get a call back from the gal helping me with the paperwork. She says she has found a great doctor for us and she's waiting to hear back about scheduling. She goes on, "the new doc is in La Mesa close to our other doctor and I wanted to give you his name and number to see if you are ok with him doing the surgery."
Me - Great, what's the name and number
She - His name is Dr. Short
Me - Yikes, what's his full name.
She - Dr. Richard Short
Me - Houston, we have a problem


So we went back to the our orginal doctor and asked if he knew any other doctors or rabbis with steady hands.

Back on the ranch, Caden has shown an ability to dismantle and wiggle out of most anything. We may go to the straight jacket.
