It was one of the doctors I was interviewing to star in the upcoming production of <em>Heather Gets Pregnant Again<\/em>.  While I liked the guy, there were too many doctors in his practice so I went with some one else.  My pals at Blue Cross Blue Shield patiently explained that after a review of my records, they didn&#8217;t think the procedures preformed were necessary so would I kindly pay them $655.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I could appeal if I want, all I have to do is send in every medical record generated since my last conception.  I asked what business insurance adjusters had deciding what procedures were necessary, but halfway through the woman&#8217;s bland corpor-answer I tuned her out.  I don&#8217;t care.  I&#8217;m not going to pay the bill anyway, so what&#8217;s the point in arguing about it.  If they want to pay a collection agency to come after me I would take great pleasure in making sure they spend $1000 in man hours to try and recover my $655.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Passive resistance is all I&#8217;ve ever really been capable of.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, it&#8217;s back to Weight Watchers.  I can take this next month to lose a little more weight before my dear friend&#8217;s wedding in Jamaica.  I can focus on adoring my soon-to-be-born nephew.  I can take Ramona on her physical-therapist-sanctioned half hour walks.  I&#8217;m still waiting, but I&#8217;ll live a little too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it seems like I&#8217;m not pregnant this time. That&#8217;s ok.
