It has been a quiet stay-at-home day. I am even still in my pajamas. I needed a rest and recovery type of day.

I called the OB/GYN office and spoke to a nurse. It has been a month since my appointment when I found out I have a prolapse and still haven’t heard from a surgeon. She told me the orders were faxed and she would call and find out what is going on. To no surprise when she called back she said the surgeon’s office hadn’t received the orders and she would send them again. She is to follow up with me tomorrow to make sure the surgeon’s office calls. Not sure I believe that at this point.

I asked a friend to look over a life insurance policy to see if I was missing something. He agreed with me that the policy was junk. He advised me to send a certified letter to get the payments stopped and to send a letter to the KS Insurance Commission to ask for their help in getting funds back. I got the letters written and I will mail them via certified mail tomorrow.

Did some organizing of papers today and got them put in marked envelopes so we can find what we need. Tomorrow I need to make a couple of phone calls and figure out a couple things.

Have a long list of things I need to do tomorrow. Not sure why so many things are popping up to be dealt with but hoping I can get through them and allow things to slow down again. It will be good to have all this little stuff taken care of.

I am taking Sophia to the Vet tomorrow to have a mass looked at. I won’t be able to do any errands while I am in town as it is too hot to leave her in the car while I run into a store. Still haven’t made a grocery list but I can take care of that when I go back to Emporia Friday.

Feeling a bit drained this afternoon. I got so angry when I found out the referral had not been received after I have checked four times with this office to find out what is going on. Incompetence is hard for me. I’m grateful this issue isn’t considered urgent but I wonder why my being uncomfortable isn’t considered. Not sure what I am going to do if I don’t have an appointment on the books by Friday.

And this too shall pass. Things always get resolved sooner or later and sometimes the timing works out better when things get delayed. Hard to sit with the delay in the moment though.

Grateful for the friend that helped with the life insurance policy, grateful for the progress we are making on the paperwork issues, and grateful for to-do lists so I don’t forget something.
