Welcome to a rainy Tuesday in Baltimore. Today should be a mostly quiet day, unless they send Dad home, in which case there will be some chaos.
He's doing much better, much more with it and perky, but his heart rate is still hovering around 120, and I'd appreciate it if they could fix that before they send him home. He and his nurse both thought he was out of there yesterday. Poor Jess went over to visit and discovered this, but then the herd of doctors who did rounds said no. They're going back over today to see what's going on, since hospitals cannot be trusted to actually communicate with the families. Yet another way that we would be 100% fucked if we didn't have them.
Class is going well, though the commercial insurance is much more challenging than the government ones. I have been sucked in to basically being the team mom. We have this participant guide that's a fillable PDF. And the trainer goes through her powerpoint, and the answers are underlined. On day 1 of the Foundations class, she had someone put the answers in the chat, so if someone missed something, they could refer back. I offered to do it in the afternoon. And I've kept doing it. It is apparently my job now. I don't mind doing it, I feel like typing it twice actually helps to fix it in my mind, but it's just funny. Yesterday we covered Aetna, BCBS and Cigna. Today is four of the smaller plans, plus the test.
I've got one more document that I need to print and sign, and then I think I'll finally be done with my onboarding packet, which will be nice.
Tomorrow, we shall have Epic training, which is the hospital's software system, and Blades in the Dark at 7, kicking off our five day stretch of games, which is always fun. We don't have a ton of games over the next few weeks, so I'll enjoy this little streak.
I made my eye appointment in two weeks. The Hopkins vision plan is pretty good, though I'll most likely still get my glasses online. I've been using Zenni, and I've been pretty happy with their frames and lenses. I'd like to try Zelool at some point, because they have some cool and kind of wacky frames that I'd like to give a shot. I'll probably go with Zenni for my next pair, and then I'll get a secondary pair from Zelool. That way if the quality isn't up to where I want it, I have a primary pair. I need bifocals and I want the progressive lenses. I don't have them on this pair, and when I go out in the sun, I feel it.
Okay, time to consider the merits of more coffee and maybe pants. Everyone have a superb Tuesday!
