    I don't have a clue about these things, all I know is that I may need an operation on my knee :frowning:
    Talk to your doctor's office staff! They will help you with all of the things they can help with. There also may be an insurance specialist that deals with the claims for you. Atleast that's how it can work in America.
    Doctor's here just have a secretary who makes the appointments :tongue:

    I need to get an MRI but there's a 6 month wait to get it done through the public system or else €250-350 to get it private. Then if I need the operation it'll cost €1000-€2000 without insurance

    Trying to sort myself some insurance before I start the whole process so that I don't have to disclose it as an existing medical condition!
    Holy Shit. I might never complain about Medicaid again. (That's a blatant lie.)
    If I go public I think I just have to pay the €60 doctor's fee though. Don't you have to pay for everything in America? Being Ireland, we probably only have about 10 MRI machines in the whole country haha

    I honestly don't know how it works. I need an MRI too so I will ask when I call to make the appointment.

    Yea I do but I have public insurance. It's really complicated here. I got Medicaid under Obamacare. So most private practice doctors won't take it because it's a pain in the ass for them to get paid. They also have pretty stupid parameters about what they will and will not pay for. For example, the doctor wanted to get a ultrasound of the thing in my neck to see if there's any blockage, but Medicaid won't pay for it because I'm too young for that. They also denied my dentist's request for a root canal because I already have 8 contact points or something. Like it's incredibly stupid. But I can't afford regular insurance so I just have to deal with it. But I don't have to wait 6 months to get the MRI I just have to call the place for an appointment (which I keep forgetting to do) and I shouldn't have to wait more than a couple weeks.

    Why is it always difficult to give up an old item of clothing that is just so worn? Especially shoes. Got new Converse today. The old ones were 5 years old and falling apart pretty badly....but the memories! Those shoes have seen 7 countries in 3 continents, went through 4 years of the ups and downs of college, through a move and then back home again, jumped through and endured the floors of hundreds of amazing concerts which hold countless amazing memories, and even survived a couple summers of being a camp counselor haha :)

    Excited to see where these new shoes will take me!

    How terrible the upstairs neighbor's taste in music and voice is. Oh man, make it stop!! ... although I guess it is slightly hilarious to hear this man just BELTING out Ed Sheeran (probably the best music I have ever heard him play - it's usually fucking club music with way too much bass. I like Ed Sheeran at least), having no clue that everyone in the building can hear him perfectly. He is REALLY going for it. I bet he's even singing into a hairbrush mic. :lol: Oh god... he is just getting more and more into it by the minute, hahaha.

    I feel for you! I have a pair of doc martens sandals that I wore everywhere for 7 years, last time I wore them it was to Pj20, the rain destroyed them the first day. I had other shoes, but when I got home a few days later I realized the damage, cannot wear them...I still have them.

    That sounds pretty good for the MRI. Doing anything through the public system takes ages here. My GP referred me to an endocrinologist and it was a 5 month wait for an appointment. So while it's free, you wouldn't want anything to be too urgent!

    Am realising I have a very unhealthy obsession with exercise. I've a knee injury that's preventing me from getting my usual daily exercise and the thought of eating without exercising is genuinely bothering me. This knee needs to sort itself out quick before I lose the plot completely

    Unless you are very underweight I don't know that your obsession is unhealthy. I have trouble eating the special treats when I know I won't do some exercise each day. We all need to look after our bodies and indulging in lots of calories can only be counteracted by exercise.

    There's a couple machines in my building but they are expensive and don't work so I always take my stuff to the laundry. My mom's stuff I'll do down there cuz it has to be done so often, and she doesn't really care. A few weeks ago I had to put her clothes in the dryer for over two hours and it still wasn't really dry, which was the last straw for me and that basement. I was cautiously optimistic when i saw they were installing new machines yesterday and the day before, switched to a new company. I go down to check out the new equipment and someone is already using the machines. The big one is already broken, she tells me, and I go look and see that it's flooded. They put in an extra dryer but these dryers don't have windows. They're like little home machines from the 70s or something. And they're even more expensive than the last ones, despite these being smaller!

    So I'm off to the laundromat on Christmas eve. :minus_one:
