Thank God for insurance!

So this month has not been the happiest month with health issues in our family. Jared has been having quite the stomach aches lately and after nagging him he finally decided to go to the doctors. The thing with the doctors though is that they never really seem to know what is going on. Jared believes he had some Gall stones. The doctor first didn't listen to our whole story of the symptoms, and then wanted to prescribe Jared some medicene right off. PSH! heck no... so we suggested looking at the gallblatter through an ultrasound. During the course of all these visits Jared had some pretty bad stomach aches. One really bad one had happened the day before we went in to see the doctor for the ultrasound of his gall blatter. That was when he thinks he passed the stone. He had all the symptoms for gall stones, just wrong timing with the check-ups ( he should have listened to his wife earlier and went in sooner ;) ). But he feels great now ( to my relief) and hasn't had a stomach ache since. Weird

Well right after Jared gets better I have a random stomach attack Sunday morning that lasted maybe 15 minutes and included a whole body sweat and shakes and throwing up. As soon as i threw up i was fine. The funny thing I had been having some sharp pains in my lower stomach for a good week now, and that is exactly where it hurt sunday morning. It hurt so bad my body threw up. Interesting. So it was my turn for an ultrasound, but everything was normal so the mystery is still unsolved. Also to add to the excitement, they gave me some antibotics for another problem that I have been having and tell me that it interferes with birth control and I should watch out for the next two weeks. That is exactly what a couple wants to hear after being married for 3 months... UGH! But with at least 5 doctor visits and two hospital runs insurance should come in handy right? With the insurance company we have now we will probably pay for all of it. It seems that when you get married and come to school here, the schools insurance company thinnk they should charge you more money for coverage and cover less... see anything wrong with that? I think that they think since you are married you have more money... haha we will be switching companies very very soon!
