It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox, as medical mayhem is back in the driver’s seat.  For some reason my Medicare Advantage premiums stopped being deducted from my social security check, so I have to pay the bill and get it fixed again.  In addition, I have to call the hospital to get my stress test scheduled before my endoscopy (camera in stomach).  Lisa (Cardiologist) tipped me off that, once the hospital finds the stress test ordered, they will delay the endoscopy until after the stress test, and you know how much trouble I had scheduling that endoscopy.  Today is also a grocery order day and the first day of the Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch Show.  ARGH!  Have a great day!<\/font><\/p>\n

Later:  I scheduled the stress test and straightened out the Medicare Advantage premiums.  Social Security Refusing to deduct Medicare Advantage premiums is a gift to American Seniors from Trump* and the Republican Reich.  I have put it on my card automatically.<\/font><\/p>\n
