Each day my mailbox holds another disappointment in the form of a medical bill or Explanation of [no] Benefits. I'm starting to think that my upside-down journey down the stairs could be the last trip I take for a while. A few more unreimbursed medical expenses and this adventure will rival the cost of my daughter's wedding. (At least that was money well-spent.)
What if, instead of spending all this money for the pleasure of lounging on my sofa/throne and barking orders at my (poor, overworked) husband for 2 months, I could make a downpayment on a beachside house in St. Croix? Heck, an oceanview tent would be better than this.
Maybe I'm complaining too much. After all, I didn't come out of this empty-handed. At my last doctor visit, I was given this fine piece of footwear to wear this spring:
It's open-toed, too. Just right for the season. But I'm curious (and somewhat afraid to know)-- exactly how much would it have cost me to get a matching pair?
