Nothing Is Simple (continued)

The saga of nothing is simple continues.
I last reported that the medical supply company that provides my sleep apnea equipment had called to say they were waiting for a call back from my sleep doctor about the machine. She insists that the machine they want to bring me does exactly what the doctor has prescribed, but it is manufactured by a different company than the machine he ordered for me.
Later that day, the sleep doctor's office called me asking how long had I used this medical supply company, do I own my machine, why do I use that company. I could not answer most of her questions. She informed me that they wanted to bring me a different, cheaper machine than the doctor ordered and he would not approve it. She speculated as to why they wanted to do this. I told her what the woman had explained to me, but she insisted that the doctor knows that this alternative machine does not do what he needs it to do for me. I told her they needed to work it out.
I have heard nothing from either of them since then.
On to the CT scan saga. Last week I had the required blood work done. Yesterday I received the results in the mail, so called today to schedule the scan. (Even in my wildest imagination I could not make this stuff up!) When she looked at my information I had given her last week, she told me the insurance authorization number I had was only for a CT scan without contrast. The doctor ordered one WITH contrast. She told me I needed to call the doctor's office back to get a correct authorization number. I told her this was a nightmare, that it had taken me over a month for them to get me THAT authorization number, and I was SUPPOSED to have this scan done in January, and here it is, almost March.
I called the doctor's office and explained my predicament. Of course she was very nice, but I have absolutely no expectation of anything being done to get me another authorization number. As usual, she promised to call me back when they got the new number. I will not hold my breath. Maybe they will surprise me this time. But past experience makes me doubt it. It would be so much easier to just say forget it. It is just too hard getting anything done.
ON a positive note, I saw my chiropractor this morning. He told me he was very proud of the good work I am doing losing weight, eating healthy and working out at the gym. He adjusted my upper spine, then used the what I call the "drill" on my lower back. Although it hurts right now, I know in the long run it makes it feel better.
I am still trying to get the correct adjustment on my new sleep mask, so the bridge of my nose does not hurt so much, while keeping it from leaking air. I have to take my car in for service on Thursday because it is giving me an SRS malfunction message. And I just have not had the energy to deal with the colonoscopy yet, because I imagine all of the obstacles and difficulties scheduling that test will present. Nothing is simple.
