I'm so sorry to hear about the family stressors and bad news.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Here's one more for 2018: My roommate, who was re-re-re-scheduled for her heart valve replacement tomorrow, just heard that her insurance company is balking at paying for it, so it's being postponed for what, according to my count, is the fourth time.
Why the insurance issue didn't come up before this... no one admits to knowing.

Our wings are not tired.
Clearly a new heart valve is elective surgery for vanity purposes. Also, insurance companies are the greatest evil.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good thing we don't have faceless bureaucrats making life-or-death decisions in this country!

For fuck's sake . . . I want to know what kind of insurance the insurance company executives have.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Theo, FWIW, if the surgeon can be made to weigh in it may help. Not even faceless bureaucrats like getting yelled at by surgeons.

And my brother is all loaded up on antibiotics and hiding out at our mom's house in Reno; the myeloma treatments are going as well as could be hoped, with excellent blood work and his hair starting to grow back. Just doing a number on his immune system generally. Thanks for the well wishes.

Glad to hear that, JZ.

As a person who has been verbally flayed by surgeons, I do recommend it. I work on contracts that allow our students to practice surgical first assisting. The surgeons are sponsoring. It takes six months until the surgeon yells at me, and then I tell the lawyers there is a surgeon involved, and everyone moves their butts
