It hit me like a 2x4

Over the weekend I worked a craft fair with my mother, who, at one point, mentioned taking a trip out of state. As soon as the word “Why” left my mouth, I knew the answer and wished I hadn’t asked. My brother’s ex-girlfriend is having her ultrasound in a few weeks.

SLAP to the face.

To make it even better:

The hospital charges for my ER visit was $950 and my insurance paid for all but $200, which was fine. I could live with that. But the other day I received a bill for $415 (due on Dec 15) that is for the doctor. Apparently they do the facility and physician billing separately. According to the statement, they had tried to bill my insurance, but the claim was denied (I don’t understand why!?). I was so angry.  And then it was like I was reliving the entire ER visit, and just being upset about the whole experience. UGH.

So, while they didn’t completely ruin the holiday weekend, those two things certainly didn’t help.
