Summer vacation!

After these last couple of crappy weeks at work, I'm REALLY looking forward to our summer vacation! We just booked a week in St. Martin through our timeshare for the middle of August...that's definitely enough to get me through the dragging winter months. I know I don't have much to complain about, I get a lot of time off with my job, more than a lot of people...but that doesn't mean that my job is all roses all the time. People working at prep schools have bad days too! This week was much better than last week though, thank God. It was one thing after another last week, girls falls from rock wall and breaks her pelvis in two places, that night I was covering a hockey game and one kid got a concussion, and another broke his collarbone...that was just Monday! I won't go through the whole week for fear of boring you completely, but that should give you a good idea. This week went by fast and was going really well until I got the news yesterday. My insurance is definitely NOT paying for my jaw surgery. I really don't know what to do, everyone is telling me to get a second opinion but two doctors have now told me I need surgery, getting another opinion isn't going to get Connecticare to pay for it. They told me I could appeal it but it won't work b/c they've tried before. I'm nervous my doctor didn't stress to them the importance of this procedure. I think I'll call the insurance company myself, not sure how much good it's going to do but it will make me feel better to vent to them!

Ok, I'm done feeling sorry for myself. Sorry I haven't put any pictures up recently. My camera is constantly out of batteries so I haven't been able to upload any. I know reading blogs is much more fun when there are pics to look at! Anyhow, I'm covering a 630AM practice at the moment so I should probably go make sure everything is alright. Have a great weekend!

Em,
Ah, St. Martin. That will help get through the next couple of months. You guys got a timeshare? We almost got talked into one when I was in college. Get the jaw surgery...it's an investment in your future dental health--the problems could get worse and more expensive. :) Good lucK!
