Just as simple as Dental Plan


Just as simple as Dental Plan
 
This morning, instead of going to the porch and read more of the book- Neurosis and HumanGrowth by Karen Horney, Guru asked me about my teeth

 
 
I responded to him, I thought he already planned of getting a dental plan from DELTA DENTAL, which we were researching before he went to Alaska during month of July[that month also were used of deciding about my chemotheraphy that muddles the dental plan till he needs to go for the trip ]. He told me I have to do the research myself, so I immediately I went to the page showing the payment plan, he is kinda frustrated why haven't got anything done with dental plan? I wonder and how could i? told him about my aching tooth and he will be telling me when we walk on the beach, that we will work on it. Next day we will have reading session, we are going to work on dental plan, we took lunch and nothing happens after, don't want to bug him when he is surfing, just waiting when he will be ready to discuss dental plan? In some way that he is expecting that I already have a clinic, but where is the dental plan?
 
So which of this plan I should take?
 
So in some way I tried to show him that there is really nothing I can do is because in every step I need his approval, then he started to search for other plans, while I took the print out of the DELTA DENTAL plan he already thinking of getting but he did not remember.
 
 
 
Single plan ,  or group plan which he was trying to decide before since he needed dental work also.
 
So he told me to make a list of what are the process
 
 
 
 
 
 
We agreed today to get antibiotic instead of going to VA hospital in La Jolla Emergency just to get prescription. Been there several times and got my antibiotic and was told to take care of my teeth.
 
 
 
 
He asked me what is my antibiotic and I told him Amoxicillin, and I even have prescription written by this dental clinic, who did my free diagnosis and Xray for the reason I have high blood pressure, which was written February 15, and we did not buy the antibiotic for some reason. That was the time too that his Van heading back to Mexico got overheated and end up having the engine replaced, got stucked in San Diego, and got the van on the shop,the next day and when we got home using the transportation, we found out the house got robbed[no need to elaborate, and wnd up deviating from story which is dental]
 
Went to pharmacy and the pharmacist said that they need a Mexican prescription and we could go next door to get it and pay 35 pesos. The doctor was on his way out for next doctor shift, and we decided to go to this dental clinic[luckily also it is the next building structure] which have done cleaning my teeth, and prescribed me antibiotic long time ago. Supposedly I was just gonna have it pulled but he cannot extract tooth if there is infection. According to his record, that I was there December 19,2011. He made the prescription and refuse to take the 50 pesos, guru is handing him. We shook his hands and thanked him.
 
 
 
Took my first dosage, at 4 pm today, and made another chart. Saw my other chart from antibiotic and it says I started taking anti biotic June 11,2013, the day after I went to emergency for my chest pain.
 
 
 
When I was preparing the list what guru instruct me,  I happen to see some more planning, I have two from October 26,2012, one about how am I supposed to call my dentist classmate, and one is kinda log of what happened that day. It's amazing the time difference between the time, that the dentist in Rosarito, told me I need tooth extraction, and from that time I thought I could have a second opinion from my classmate. One thing that is processing in my head is the more we wait the more the bones were eaten away because of the frequent infection. I was told the first time, during the December 2011, diagnosis here in Rosarito, that the bones didn't deteriorate, quickly, it happens over the course of years I just ignored them, untill one day I mention them to Guru.
 



 
 
Now I am worried how much more it progressed from December 2011? Another thing is there is this processing in my brain that makes me think that the cancer were probably caused by this constant infection and somehow some bacteria travelled to my thigh and becomes the seed of a cancerous cell. This pain and twitching in my chest[I was already assured it not anything related to heart and im thankfull] is sometimes makes me worry that it could be a metastases, but the CT SCAN, September 5,2013,  assured me, there is no metastases.
 
 
Now I am deviating from dental to cancer, anyway like I said this thing as simple as dental plan, I realized that somehow it will not be a very easy one, but like my whole life story is complex but I am happy there is progress.
 
Will not elaborate but just add it as I remember more dates
 
Jan 3, gone to public health clinic to find out that I am not eligible to their program, need a proof of income, but I don't have any earnings?, need proof of address, with my name on bills, but  my address in San Diego they just helping me out, and lots more paper work to do after leaving that San Ysidro clinic, there was 2 hours of preaching from the Guru.
 
Jan 22, finally got a free consult but I need this clearance from radiologist, and there is confusion whose gonna authorize the verification, primary care doctor or radiologist doctor. Back and forth of calling the cancer center, faxing of info, after more than 2 hours, I still didn't get, the clearance from radiologist and the dentist have other patients, and I cannot be diagnosed, despite the Guru thought we could convinced the radiologist, which is busy , he was just talking to secretary.  and the reason the Guru is frustrated is we have to cross the border just for this appointment.
 
And after that there were series of discussion several days including the 4 hours to long beach of discussion, in which the guru were agitated
 
 
One time have the appointment with primary care doctor, and have the clearance signed for X ray, and we didn't need all those unpleasant sessions  and conflict with revolving around the acquisition of clearance. On the way back from hospital , dropped off the clearance, to the clinic and get scheduled to be seen, Feb 15.
 
This dental plan is not as simple as it is…
 
And it is still going and I don't know when…, I was saying I have a quadrant area that is not painful now it is…
