My Medicaid got cancelled at the beginning of the month, leaving me without, among other things, my antidepressant for over a week. Kent takes the same antidepressant, at a third the dosage, and tends to stock up, so I made a large dent in his supply for the week I was without insurance. He says it's fine, but boy was I ready to throttle people. Especially when I was trying to find out what was wrong with Alyria's arm while in massive amounts of pain myself. (Evidence my posts from earlier this month.) Why in the blue hells it takes four days from Medicaid being restored on Denver's computers to it showing up on Medicaid's computers, and why no one can do anything about that damn four day delay frustrates me incredibly. My pharmacy was at least helpful; I'd call them every day or so and ask them if my Medicaid was active, they'd type on the computer, say "Sorry, you're still ineligible," and we'd wait for the computers to take four days. Computers run very fast these days. Why four days?

I don't know if that's an intentional bureaucratic delay, or a flaw in the system. I think I may actually call my caseworker this week and talk to her about it; she might at least know where the delay comes from.

In other news, the crone's shawl progresses oh so slowly. I think I'll spend some time fiddling with it again today.
