As always with good news I get bad news right along with the good news.
To start my day I took a 5 mile hike to see my primary care doctor and after walking I arrive and told the doctor would not be in today. So I start hiking another 5 miles to go to DaVita Dialysis for my go go juice (epo shot) and this is when the crap really started to hit the fan. Normally I'm in and out of there in a matter of minutes. But today I was there a couple of hours.
First I talked to the dietician and the bad news started. My phosphorus level was sky high. I really don't know why, I follow my renal diet very
closely. I have cut out all soda, milk products, cheese, beans, chocolate, snacks
and worst of all pizza.
The medication I take is not working and they keep telling me it's my fault my phosphorus is high.
Then comes the social worker so I go to meet with her and she tells me we need to call the insurance specialist. This is where things really start to get bad, I was informed I now have no medical insurance and it will take at least 45 days before I'm covered by Cobra.
Then she tells me I should be happy. I can no longer get any medication. But I should be happy right?
Not only is there a medication issue, now may have an extended delay in getting a transplant. Now I'm really pissed but I should be happy right??
The sad part the last time I talked to the insurance specialist she said she would do everything to make sure I had no laspe in insurance coverage.
Yet she knew well in advance about the 45 day delay.
Now I also have to wonder if it's not part of a scam to force me to switch to the pharmacy owned and operated by DaVita Dialysis. Since she told me I needed to switch to them. I refused to switch to them before for certain reasons and now they want to force me to switch to DaVita Rx.
By this time I was extremely upset and ready to walk out but I still had to wait another hour to get my go go juice.
Then if things hadn't been bad enough I find out my hemoglobin dropped.
I dropped from a 12 to a 9. So now my go go juice amount was increase and now I have to get a shot once a week instead of every other week.
I have talked (more like begged) to many agencies for help and because I don't have HIV and not a drug addict or alcoholic I cannot get any assistance.
The price I pay for trying to live a good life. But I should be happy right??
