I am SOOO pissed off!

I went to the optometrist today to pick up my glasses. My contacts are not yet in. We had to pay a  grand total of fourhundred sixteen as insurance only paid for two twenty. Freaking out over the cost as much more than was expected, I phoned my husband who gave me complete shit. I said, "what am I supposed to do, go around blind?"

He reviewd our policy and wanted to know a complete break down of what we were paying for, which of course I couldn't give him because the receipt they give you is so damn confusing. I took the policy to the dr. office, had them break it down and explain where the expenses were. So of course because I needed both glasses and contacts, due to a huge change in my perscription, the insurance company would not pay for both, plus the fitting fee for the contacts is not covered by insurance. She gave me the complete break down, which I relayed through email to my husband. He suggested we purchase the glasses this year and the contacts next year and that it would save us a whole bunch of money. I phoned the office, asked if this was possible, was told that she'd have to check and get back to me. Sometime later as I had not heard back, I phoned again and was told that they hadn't had time to get to it and they'd call me after lunch. (Not only that I feel like the glasses aren't quite the right perscription, not seeing well at a distance, and was told that I should wait about three days to see if I adjust to them.)

Ok, husband later called me, giving me heck for prepaying... like that's so unusual.... then asked for the phone number of the Dr. Ok, if there is nothing more that pisses me off than being treated like an imbicile who can't handle it myself and has to have her husband handle it for her. I hate it that he doesn't think I'm competent enough to handle things myself. REALLY pisses me off. I hate it. It's so insulting.

So, what did we end up doing? They applied my contacts to next year, I pick them up in January, this means that my insurance for an exam has already been used up for next year and what did we save? A whopping grand total of 36 dollars! Whoopie! Three trips back and forth probably cost me that much in gas.

I got a headache.
