The incompetence mounts as we await a procedure date and time for the angioplasty.The Dr.s office forgot to call to get insurance authorization? If that's what you do all day, how is it that you forget to do it? My husband was in the cardiologists office three times this week for some minor tests and consultations each visit being charged hefty copays... We spent $500 with just copays for appointments this week! How is it that their office staff forgot together my husband a procedure date before he has a major heart attack?!
We have been told it's an urgent situation and he must get in for a angioplasty to avoid a heart attack. The stress of all of this could give one a heart attack. The waiting and the frustration of not knowing what to expect. A truly humbling and frightening health scare.
We hope to have a date for Monday since we have known for over 2 weeks that this is an urgent and critical need! I have tried to do my best at keeping things nice and light , no worries!
Finding joy in the small things...
Nice can only fly for so long when the elephant in the room is a looming heart attack in the waiting...
Not to mention that my husband doesn't feel very good. He is tired all of the time and gets chest pains. He needs to get out of this hellish limbo of feeling crappy. So insensitive and unprofessional at best! Get with it people! If your in the heart health biz, Have a heart and do your job!
Can you tell I'm pretty miffed?
The waiting has been filled with a lot of attention being put on Lunar New Year this year. That seems to calm him and I've been following with decorating trees and the house. Lanterns, in abundance. Planning the food and special treats...Putting a lot of energy and effort into this special holiday. A holiday that represents his culture, his childhood memories and the love of his native country, Vietnam . Tet is becoming more important to him the older he gets. Maybe this years celebration is so important to him because he lost his Mom this year. I'm thinking that his need to recognize and celebrate to the fullest is driven by his Mom's passing? Now to find out he's following in her heart disease footsteps... too much! 
The year of the "Pig" has me wondering if it's a bad omen to serve pork at the celebration? When I asked my husband he laughed and said , "Good Question"!
Organizing and cleaning projects for weeks!
My daughter and I even baked a chocolate cake from a recipe we found on "Tasty", just to keep busy.
Honestly, enough already, just do the procedure and get it over-with already! You can't tell someone they are at great risk of having a heart attack and then take your sweet time getting them treatment!
My two favorite creatures photo bombed my pic I see!
