Aftermath: Thank God for Insurance....

Thank God for healing, and for insurance! I got a totalled bill from Mayo Clinic today - not just the $60,000-some surgery/6 day stay, but also additional charges that were tallied in the hospital and from my 12/28/07 'second opinion' exam. Cost: $86,000.00-some-odd dollars. Only $1,600 something pending with the insurance company, "my bill due" thus far: $30. We all need that kind of insurance, man.
I went to an all-art staff meeting today; my colleagues were wonderful. One brought a lounge chair so that I could "rest" during the meeting! I have gone from a beginning attitude of "I just want to crawl off somewhere and do this without having a lot of attention called to myself" to "wow these people take such great care of me and it's OK!". Blessings, all....
Pondering a Valentine's Day card to serve as my usual Christmas greeting, which was missed in the rush of all of this....watch for it soon!
