Don't know if I've mentioned this before, but both my husand's and my surviviing parents are on increasingly shakey ground, healthwise and living wise. Both are exceedingly independent howver, and still making decisions for themselves...
It's getting to be a daily conversation of ours: what's going to happen next?.
So...one of these days it's quite likely I'll have to make an emergency trip of some sort to one or both of them, will little time to post here about it.
We're just trying to get prepared & stay up-to-date with our affairs, and enjoy each day. It's not easy keeping track and helping parents who, 1. live hours away, and 2. don't really want to be helped, but need it.
When the emergency comes, tho, we're expected to pick up the pieces, and we'll do that with our various siblings, who also live at a distance.
Molly, I am banking on this big time. But, it is going to take the revelations of some mighty dastardly connivings (like, ahem, REFUSING to recite the Pledge of Allegiance) to bring this rabid frenzy to a halt.
Bless you all. ((Molly))
Sorry to read about the failing parent(s), that’s never easy especially at long distances. If your siblings are also willing to pitch in and help, that’s a blessing. Sometimes one person/child is the “go-to / take-action” person while others just stand by and watch.
I am a bit disgusted with my afternoon. Made appt with chiropractor, listed on insurance website as in-network, only to be told when they checked at my appt time, they were NOT in-network. I came home untreated and called the insurance co. myself who again said yes, they WERE in-network.
So color me confused. Think I’ll try to have another supposed in-network provider call and confirm with insurance before I go to the trouble of making and going to an appointment.
Health insurance is such a rip-off scam. grrrrr!
