Every single thing I dictate I have to put fee codes on, and of course extra fee codes for any special stains. 🙄

For example, if you are a lucky soul who has a colectomy, that is fee code 09. If you coincidentally happen to have your little itty bitty appendix taken out at the same time, extra $ for the pathologist as that adds a fee code 07. Oh, and if you have >2 cm of your terminal ileum removed at the same time, another fee code!!! (This is the kind of stuff I HATE spending my days doing).
most of it I've got down cold. there aren't very many procedure codes that I use- 90801 (initial eval), 90806 (1-hr f/u), and the occasional 90847 (1-hr f/u- family therapy)- and I know most of the ICD/DSM codes by heart. plus I have a computer program that stores all that info for each client. it's really just a matter of sitting down and doing it... which I seem to struggle with.

I have a very sad confession to make to you all.

I have discovered that I have a drinking problem.

Yes, it's true. Every day for the last three days I have sat down with a cool, refreshing beverage... and somehow managed to spill it all over myself. While stone cold sober, I might add.

This is alarmingly clumsy, even for me. 🙁

actually, it's called the "spending too much time with JLW" syndrome.

Hmm...to bring it to your lips is that CNS -> interneuron -> motor neuron?
Maybe you need more calcium?


God I need a break. I plowed through like 100 pages today.

Actually, I just started taking supplemental calcium after analyzing my intake since I started my diet. 🙂

So I joined the SDN facebook group and post whored myself all over the message wall.

Dr. D, Fe, Supernova, Jlw, anyone else I might have missed: Y'all got facebook?
nice one! 🙂
we always need more facebook friends. any randomites who have facebook accounts should PM other randomites (like me and VD) so we can expand the group.

Oxeye - what are you doing for your diet?
Ummmm, the plan right now is to just eat less food. 😉

I eat all freaking day long. I eat if I'm hungry. I eat if I'm bored. I eat if I'm happy. I eat if I'm stressed. I eat if I'm sad. I'll eat something in the fridge that looks good even if I'm noy hungry at all.

So really, I just need to only eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and one or two snacks. I need to cut back on the Dr. Pepper too. 🙁

I need to keep myself busy - taking the girls to the park, shopping, things like that - so I'm out of the house and away from the kitchen for a little while. If I'm out doing stuff, I don't think about food nearly as much.

I hate diets. 🙁
