I have been trying to figure out the doctors' bills and appointments for hubby. He changed cardiologists over a year ago, but not everything changed over. In addition he forgot his appointment in February. Plus hubby needs to see a foot doctor. They have not returned my call to their answering system. They did not respond to my request for an appointment online. I called and got a real person today. That is a good thing. My mind has felt very tangled today, but tomorrow will have to be better. It is time for me to go cook. I will prepare beef patties with mushroom and onion sauce. The protein will do us good.

It does get complicated to take care of all those "never ending" appointments.

Especially if he forgets them. In this way it is good I am off work.

@BarBaraPrz Do I need to set an alarm for you? It is easy to forget and not do it.

I have tried to get hubby to buy meat patties so we could have burgers when we want. Finally convinced him. That lets me make a single portion of a tasty meal.

@rebelann I have chopped peppers of two kinds frozen, and diced onions in the refrigerator. The mushrooms were in cans. All together it tasted great.

I always have to figure out doctor and dentist appointments for me and my two kids. Sometimes it gets pretty hectic trying to keep up with each of our appointments!

I worked in a program where I managed seven or more young ladies and their appointments. Not my favorite thing.

@moffittjc Especially since although they were mentally handicapped, some of them were high functioning enough to call and schedule appointments, but did not always think it through that if I was going with them it needed to fit my schedule as well as all the other people in the program.

I find it really annoying and very rude really when people don't get back to you after you leave a message.

I mentioned it to the person I talked to on the phone. She found it odd, as she is the one who usually gets those messages and does the scheduling.

How has he been feeling lately?

He does not like the waiting around as it makes him feel like he cannot do anything. He knows he would feel better if he got up and moved, but the television keeps him sitting around.

The billing sounds like a bit of a mess! Getting a hold of people lately is hard. Hope the rest of your day has been good. Ive been procrastinating. Supper sounds tasty! We are goin to have chicken burgers and salad or fries. I thought about fried rice but havnet made any rice yet. We are taking our camper out of storage today. I really dont know why because the truck we got to haul it is not here... and we cant get it until they allow travel to other provinces without 14 days isolation.

Our truck is in a shop for repairs. We have nothing that will pull trailers right now, but are hopeful. 3 1/2 years ago I dropped the drive train on the way to work. Insurance would not pay unless I said I had had an accident. I do not lie, or commit fraud. We have been waiting to have money, and the stimulus check has been it. Coming up with tasty meals at home has been difficult lately.

I have also read from other myLotters having problems with the doctors who never call back. I am sorry for your husband, I hope he can see his doctor.

We are getting back on track. With the shut down I have the time and mental energy to take care of it.

@LadyDuck We have reached the point where our governor says it is up to the individual provider, but we must follow precautions like masks etc.

@GardenGerty Doctors still do not receive people in their cabinets, but the hospitals are now resuming normal operations.

I feel for you as actually trying to speak to someone at a doctor's office is so frustrating. I'm glad you finally got through to someone.
