I blogged earlier last week about my left foot and how it has a pin in it from bunion surgery when I was 16 and it now looks like the pin is trying to work it's way out of my foot. And it hurts. Well, I found out before I can just go to an orthopedic foot doctor, I first have to go to my regular doctor, pay $20 for the office visit (that's what we have to pay for every office visit) and get a referral. So, basically, I'm paying the $20 for the referral. Does anyone else see something wrong with that? I know there's something wrong with my foot and I'd love to bypass having to go to my regular doc to save time and money and just go directly to the foot guy. But, I can't. Stupid if you ask me!

I guess I better call my regular doctor now to make an appointment so I can possibly get in to see a foot doctor before the kids are done with school for the summer. Going to the doctor with 3 kids is NOT what I call fun.
