But I Like Chick-Fil-A

Well, my insurance plan is about to change on May 1st... I knew this was coming and have had in the back of my mind thinking about which plan I'll pick for this next year. I've never thought about health insurance much, mainly because I haven't had to use it much. So I listened real hard at our open enrollment meeting we had conveniently the day before my surgery, taking tons of notes. But I was waiting for my appointment on Wednesday to make my final decision about which plan I would go with.

I found out today that my doctor is not in the new network that my employer is switching to. In the meeting they talked about how the old network and the new network are nearly identical. Seems like except for my doctor. This hit me really hard and I could hardly keep it together long enough to politely get off the phone. The woman I talked with, which I'm sure is a nice lady, told me it could take 60-90 days to get resolved and to "just get another doctor" until they figure it out. Huh? Just get another doctor? Like Chick-Fil-A is closed because it's Sunday, so I'll just go to Moe's instead. I'm sure from the outside it doesn't seem like a big deal. But when you're the patient, when you have come to trust a man enough to cut your abdomen wide open, it just seems a little hard. I feel loyal to that man because he has proved to be trustworthy and has invested greatly in my life. A man I hardly know.

I am quick to forget the One who is truly trustworthy. And how He has sustained me thus far and even providentially provided this grand doctor to me. So He will be good again. Either with this doctor or another. But I still really hope I get to keep the one I have.

Getting my port in the morning...
