I’m so tired of fighting my insurance company to cover things. I am sending my wheelchair back due to insurance not covering the whole cost. I can’t afford to keep it. 😞

Why is it soooo hard to get insurance and my supply company to sync up to send my monthly supplies for my insulin pump? So frustrated! I have to call and argue Every. Single. Month. It’s exhausting. 🫤😡

I’ve been hat knitting lately. The yarn is Knit Picks Brava Sport in “coral.” The Hat is knit in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) Easy peasy!

Dexcom G7 supplies are short and “back ordered.” A piece for the sensors is having issues being sent to factory. My guess is the TARIFFS that asshat thinks is great. Diabetics need Dexcoms!! He’s fucking with peoples lives here. My insulin pump doesn’t work correctly without sensors!

Trying to relax and chill today. I had my first mammogram yesterday. I am nervous about the results. Breast issues run in my maternal part of the family.
