Ear Issues
I have had something funky going on with my ear since August. It pretty much started a few days after I was done with Southwestern. I am thinking that my ears got accustomed to going up and down mountains every morning and night, and when that stopped and the right ear decided to get infected or whatever its issues is.
I want to go to a doctor about this, but I am having trouble with that. I have insurance through Aetna, but it is an HMO. That means that I need to set up a primary care physician. I have no idea who I should choose for that. After I select a PCP, I need to get permission to go to an ear specialist. This is completely different from how my old insurance worked. For the last 22 years I would always go straight to the doctor that would know what to do to fix my problem. I never had a primary care physician, because my Dad would always know where to send me. The closest I had to a regular doctor was my ear doctor (because I have had problems with my ears since I was an infant) and my dentist. My ear doctor died a few years ago though, so I guess it is time for me to find a new one.
Luckily, Aetna has this thing that I can use online, but I need all this information that I don’t have to use that service. I suppose this online thing wasn’t such great luck after all. Well, I have a few hours free Friday. I will arrange to take care of all of this then.
