RANT- $16,500 complaint

RANT- $16,500 complaint

A rant, with only ONE Non Baptist Word (Mary Lou is coming up for my surgery, so I am practicing behaving)

--------------



I had my pre surgery tests today and then went to pay my $16,500. For those of you who were self pay, you know the feeling. I am paying $16,500 because I got myself into this position, while at the same time being scared to death of the future and quite a few other emotions.

After leaving the office, I went to meet with Tynetta the cashier to pay my $16,500 for the LapBand Surgery.

I have met with Tynetta the cashier three times now, and each time she tells me that I should have just gone to a personal trainer because it is cheaper. She even noted at our first meeting that she has lost 20 pounds because of her use of a trainer. She always has multiple follow up questions as to why you aren't using a personal trainer and then tells you that you should try. "You could do this if you really tried." Followed by "Go get a personal
trainer and exercise aggressively."

I want to yell "Gee, I NEVER THOUGHT OF DIET AND EXERCISE BEFORE!"

Well, yes I have thought of that. But since I have been such a failure and gotten myself into this, I am using this tool and its potential to get me to where I can go exercise aggressively, and ride my bike again, and enjoy my
life again. As a matter of fact, thinking about right now as I rant, none of my goals is to "Exercise aggressively". I would rather just ENJOY MY FREAKIN LIFE AGAIN. And part of that is bicycling, While bicycling is technically
exercise, I bike for many more reasons than exercise. If anyone sees me bicycling aggressively, they have permission to mock me.

But I digressed.

Today again, as I am ACTUALLY PAYING THE $16,500 because my insurance won't,she again says "Gee, if you just went to a personal trainer you wouldn't need to do this." "If you tried you could really do it."

It took all my will power to not walk around the desk and throttle her. I'm still aggravated. There are so many emotions right now that when I'm not happy about spending $16,500 that I don't need the woman physically taking my money to treat me (or anyone else) that way.

AARRGGGHHH.

Please note that I used no non Baptist words that I would not use in front of  my mother. (I'm practicing for next week)

So, I am trying to form this rant into a coherent complaint. I'm not happy I need this LapBand. I'm worried, scared to death and aggravated at myself all at the same time.

I must again Rant - AND THEN THE PERSON PHYSICALLY TAKING MY MONEY TELLS ME THAT IF I JUST USED A FREAKIN PERSONAL TRAINER I WOULD NOT BE DOING THIS!  GRRRR.

When taking my money, I think all she should say is "Thank you" and perhaps "I hope things go well".

AARRRGHH

Oh well, I went home and made myself some soup then went  to go work in the yard to de aggravate myself! BUT I'M STILL AGGRAVATED.

Ok, I'm done now.

Thanks for letting me rant. I now return you to your usual blog reading.
