The worst part about moving away from the only city you've ever known? Finding doctors/dentists/hairdressers to replace the ones you've gone to for years.
I've decided to chop my hair off...and I have to randomly find someone to do it, at a salon I've never been to, by someone I don't know. Scary.
yeah i can see that being a huge pain.. at least you have friends + family there to recommend different docs.
do you guys even have insurance coverage yet??
For the next week....Adam got an extra month of coverage when he left his job, so that helped. But we've got about another week to find jobs with coverage, or it's back to serving at a restaurant for me.
yeah, i had this experience too. i've actually kept one of my doctors in NJ (I know it's too far for you to drive back to Ohio)esp after i heard some of the crazy stories about drs around here. I've just had to use the recommendations (and warnings) of friends in the hall. oddly enough, i went to JC Penney Salon to get my hair cut and the woman did a great job both times.
I kept one of my doctors in NJ - it's only an hour drive, though. My rule with salons is to ask for the manager for a cut - if she's really busy, you know it's good. Also, if they offer you wine or tea or other treats when you come in, you can tell they care about their customers.
