Finally got our insurance cards

Our medical insurance cards, which state that our coverage is effective November 2nd, 2006, just arrived in the mail today. Took a couple of phone calls too, I'm annoyed that it took them a month to get them to us. I tell Charles I think they should give us an extra month of coverage when/if he leaves the company. Anyhow, going to their website now to pick out primary care physician and such, hopefully get in there for a checkup as soon as possible. My sister is having surgery on the 8th of December, so there's only a slight chance of seeing the doctor before I go down to San Diego with her, but if I can I'll do so.

Things on my medical to do list: (maybe a repost)

• General check up.
• Chronic back pain and crackling of spine.
• Check for proper dosage of my thyroid medication. My old doctor had wanted to check on this before we lost our old insurance because I gained some weight between visits when I'd been swimming regularly and just started my thyroid medication.
  
• Talk about my feet and possibly about seeing a podiatrist: I've had freezing cold feet for over a week, my cracked heels, and I think my arches may have flattened or something due to my 7-ish years of my sandals-only job. It was actually painful to wear tennis shoes, although it's been subsiding a little bit.
• Talk about an exercize plan. I want to stick with low impact stuff (water aerobics, belly dancing) until I get my back issues resolved, but even belly dancing makes my bad knee sore and crackly.

Things on my dental to do list:

• General check up & cleaning.
  
• Talk about orthodontics. I don't feel like my teeth line up properly when I bite down, I chew only in the corners of my mouth and it's uncomfortable when I sleep and stuff.
• Talk about whitening. For a non-smoker who doesn't like coffee, that area needs improvement too.
