It has been a roller coaster of health issues for half a year. We didn't have health insurance for a long time. And we stayed healthy. Except for Peter's hernia but he had that back when we had insurance and he did nothing about it. So whatever. We got insurance effective July 1. July 3 I was in the ER for being dizzy (high blood pressure) and chest pains (acid reflux...again)
the health insurance we had just bought didn't bother to tell us, and we didn't think to ask, the emergency room component was only for accident, not illness. So not only do we have to pay for health insurance, which is just useless, we get a hospital bill in the thousands.
The insurance only paid a wee portion of Peter's hernia operation. More thousands of dollars to pay.
So we switched to a better and incidentally cheaper insurance on January 1. It pays for my bp meds and most of the other meds cost.
The boys have dental on their plan. the adults don't. And I am having two teeth pulled on Friday. I hate, hate hate hate hate going to the dentist. Going to have nitrous oxide for the first time. The regular dentist is having her partner pull the teeth, she says he is faster. Fast would be good. Figures it would be the day before Valentine's Day. And one of the local restaurants is having prime rib as a special.
