3 nights of deep sleep and dramatic dreams... The wife and I are riding motorcycles to Texas. I have ex's in Texas. I was in rehab, they took my phone, my truck and my keys.

Wow Good luck to your bro. I'm not having any real problems since surgery. I feel pretty good, though the breastbone and sutures still hurt a bit. Just started driving a few days ago. Took my car in for some maintenance, so I didn't get to drive too much. Today, though, I used it as normal. The freedom is nice. I'm trying not to be looking forward too much to getting back to work. I haven't been getting too many bills yet. Maybe $5,000 worth so far. I think the hospital stay alone was about $150,000. My insurance will cover most of that and the other bills. I also had taken out (through work) a separate "Critical Care" policy. Cost $30/mo. It's an insurance policy in case a critical illness or surgery happens. The insurance company tells me that for my particular procedure, it'll be sending me a $20,000 check. I'll believe it when I see it. If it happens, it should cover a good portion of my share of costs. |

I'm happy that you're recovering nicely, and also that this won't leave you in financial dire straits! I'm sure you'll get that check eventually. Good idea to have gotten that extra insurance. I hope you'll be able to get restricted physical duties when you go back to Wally World. You should take it as easy as you can!

I've been looking for ways to help me build strength, stamina and overall burn more calories. It's tough for me because I can only get a few hours of mobility out of my bad hip. Some sort of healing happens when I sleep. I do as much as I can before I sit here at my computer. Today, I packed a weeks worth of a workout into a few hours. I'll be hurtin for certain. One day I will get the X-rays or whatever I need- or not. We sure could use a disability check from my SSI. From what I've heard, it's really difficult to get approved.

Glad to be back...where's your twin?! Has all this medical infirmary, surgery, biology, and healthy habit stuff changed you? I know the bills will - they get all enormous and whatnot just so you will have ANOTHER seizure and come back for another stay without even getting any Marriott Points! It's never-ending now, Buddy! Are you allowed to listen to the Ramones, anymore, or do you need something more like Donnie & Marie, or maybe this (which *I* thought was a 'Lost Dan Hicks Treasure') which comes from another one-good-song album? |
