Once again, Emilie asked if 4:00 would work for me instead of 3. This worked out well because I then spent an hour on the phone with my health insurance company and a doctor's office, trying to figure out why I had believed this would be an "in network" visit ($25 copay) and it was processed/charged as out of network (and I was billed $500). The upshot of this is that (a) the doctor's office agreed to reduce their charge, and is sending an updated bill for $250; (b) I will be filing an appeal with the insurance company, though the person I spoke to didn't seem to think my chances were very good; and (c) I have told the doctor's office that I'm appealing, and it may take up to 45 days, and they are making a note of this and said they won't send the bill to a collection agency while I'm appealing. So that all took an hour, after which I had a late lunch, and some soothing conversation with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle before heading out to the gym.
Cardio, 11 minutes, top heart rate 148
Rolled out IT band etc.
Hamstring bridge, 4 sets of 9
Ab work on small ball, 3 sets of 10, nice and smooth. I also told Emilie I want her to remind me of the ab stuff if necessary, because I've noticed a tendency to avoid it when working out by myself.
Opposite arm-leg balance exercise, 8 pairs
Squats leaning on ball, 3 sets of 15
Calf raise leaning on ball, either 2 or 3 sets of 15 (I'm working from memory here)
A nice long run of catch with me standing on the foam roller
Biceps curls on blue balance dome, 10 pounds each hand, 3 sets of 15
Standing on a balance platform:
Lat pulldown, 55 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 35 pounds, on one foot, 12 each
Hug a tree, 20 pounds, 3 sets of 12, nice and smooth
Back exercise, 25 pounds (I think, it might have been 35), 2 sets of 12; 20 pounds, one foot, 6 each
Triceps, 20 or 25 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Row sitting on ball, with same nautilus machine, 50 pounds, 12; 55 pounds, 2 sets of 12
And then a quick stop in the Village to pick up coffee for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude, who has spent a lot of time this week buying and then doing stuff with a new fax machine/printer/copier/scanner that I will probably be the main user of. (The next step on that involves calling Verizon; wish me luck.) The errand took a little longer than I'd hoped, because the C train is infrequent, but was otherwise quite straightforward.
