I always get travel medical insurance for that reason, which should be pretty comprehensive.
She had this as well. I wouldn't have even thought of it.
Maybe I've always been here.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
She had this as well. I wouldn't have even thought of it.
That should be fine then, she should be covered for the bill (maybe a capped copay).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cancer-free for 7 years, babee!
Yay! That's considered a cure, correct?

Past five years, the odds of recurrence drop significantly, anyway. (Go, ChiKat! Go, me!)
If I had to have surgery, I'd be out of pocket $3,000 plus. I am one of those people who has to buy her own insurance, and I had to go to a higher deductible plan this year or my monthly payment would have gone from $500 to $750. Most office visits and tests are set co-pays, but I pay 20% on things like surgery.
In my case, Kaiser's spent at least half a million on me, so I can't say I haven't gotten my money's worth.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, bless the hairdresser because she kept R for half an hour when my yoga class ran late.
Cuss her a little though, because she told R, "The surgery is today! It's RIGHT NOW!!!" 'Cause I wasn't going to do that. Certainly not "It's RIGHT NOW!!!" -- that causes me crazy anxiety and I can keep it straight in my haid.
Hopefully it will slip her mind quickly and not make her a wreck all day.
(What I've gone with is "Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are busy days with lots of doctors and finally the operation. We probably won't hear from them until Wednesday." That rolls in our skipped phone call with the surgery so its upsetting but not, you know... terrifying. She knows its going down.)

Last night, Calli came over to, uh, help me watch TV. I introduced her to the wonder that is Tim Gunn. Or at least they got better acquainted.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Much operation~ma headed to NY!
I am sitting at Cake Cafe, networking like a fiend and still researching the lead paint stuff. I've been drafted into doing some (presumably unpaid) work developing safety protocols. I'm leery of the unpaid, but it's an org I'd like to hire me and the deliverables should be helpful to Historic Green, so here I am. Plus, I'm not any kind of certified professional.

And we watched the heck outta that TV, too. Jon Stewart's reaction to one of Isabella Rossalini's bug sex videos was priceless.
