I am still battling with my mental health issues. some days are good some days not so much. My life got much more busy but not filled in any meaningful way though. I have started physical therapy again for my neck and back. The first session really seemed to help and felt really good and relieved a great deal of pain. I only get a total of 15 sessions so I will make the most of them. For my dizziness and bad headaches I was referred to an Ophthalmologist i filled out the paperwork did intake interview talked to his assistant and did the ear chart with and without my glasses. I was asked how long since my last exam. I said 3 1/2 years. I was told "Well the headaches and dizziness are probably due to the fact you need bifocal glasses now. You did not do very well on the eye chart. But since you have cancer in your family history we will send you for an MRI and blood work. Your insure does not cover a regular eye exam or glasses but does cover the other testing." Then leaves the room smiling as the assistant schedules the testing. I was so beyond pissed off. The insurance company will spend thousands of dollars on tests on a maybe long-shot but not $60 for an eye exam and $100 glasses to take care of dizziness and headaches. But the would solve a problem Doctors don't like simple solutions when they can bill insurance. Oh well...
