Grateful Observations

So this is what "checking the mail" was like before cancer:

Anybody  in therrrrrre?

What checking the mail has been like after cancer:

Yes I did forget to write the sign backwards the first time.

But here's the other thing, it's a bit like roulette...

Bills? Test results? Junk mail?  Who knows?!

Today's spin...

Not too bad...

1 Medical Bill (Biopsy Procedure- Initial Cost: $2000, My Portion: ~$200), 1 Hospital Survey, and 1 $10 Rewards Card from AT&T.  I'll take it!

Here's my other major grateful moment of the day...looking at the $20,000 port placement bill and seeing patient costs that were fairly non-existent.  Say what you want about the Affordable Health Care Act (aka Obamacare) but looking at insurance bills today, if I was participating in the latest Facebook trend of 3 things I'm grateful for today, I would definitely say:

• Having good coverage (Thanks UD!)
• The elimination of lifetime maximum limits (I'm on my way...)
• The elimination of pre-existing conditions (In case I ever want to thank someone other than UD for having coverage)

In other wordly news, Ma is on the hunt for a lucky leprechaun for me and first sister-visit starts late tomorrow...can't wait!
