Man, I've been babying those things for years and they weigh less than my lunchbox.

Wait, your cousin recommended this guy and he wasn't even in your network? How did nobody at that office ask about your insurance before you racked up five months of visits? That just blows my mind because you'd think a doctor's office would check that stuff first thing. And then the adjuster can just toss out every single appointment like it never happened? That's $3,400 gone and they act like it's your fault for not knowing some hidden rule. The whole MPN thing feels like a trap nobody warns you about until it's too late. I'd be calling that clinic and asking why they didn't tell you upfront.

Watched my buddy go through almost the same thing last summer on a driveway apron over in Meridian. He grabbed the cheap stuff to save a few bucks and by the second week it was bleeding this gross brown streak down the face of the concrete. His wife was so mad because it looked terrible from the street and they were getting ready to list the house. He ended up chipping out the joint, scrubbing it with a wire brush, and redoing the whole thing in July heat, which was brutal. That extra 4 or 5 bucks would have saved him a weekend and a marriage fight, lmao. Now he only runs the good self leveling stuff and hasn't had a single issue since.
