2015 is proving to be a year of many changes so far. Some of the changes were stressful, and others were welcome, and yet others were surprising, but needed. And we still have a little over nine months to go before the year ends.

Most of the changes were to do with the changes in my health insurance and the accepting of the new plan by old doctors. There is so much confusion as to whether or not the doctors at Mt. Sinai accept my new insurance, it is unbelievable. I called and spoke with different people, been into their offices personally and faxed over my insurance card to be verified, and yet no one can say yes or no.

I am tired of trying. My primary care physician has been pushing for me to see a pulmonary hypertension specialist in my county that is supposed to be one of the leading experts, and I think this is the universe telling me to make the change. It's time to move on. So I made an appointment and I see him next month. He is a heart failure and pulmonary hypertension specialist. Two in one package.

My only hope is the he is personable. The heart failure specialist at Mt. Sinai has the personality of a brick.
