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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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

Got home last night at almost 11, after torrential thunderstorms saw me off from Birmingham & soaked my checked luggage. A few books got damp :( Wouldn't be xmas in B'ham without thunderstorms, tornados or other wild weather.
Why I woke up at 6:15, uhg.

It's raining here, which is a good thing, except the dog refuses to go out in the rain. Since she is on the water pills now she is drinking a ton and going out an equivalent number of times. Except when it is raining she will only go out if I leash her and go with her. Sigh.
Sorry about the soaked luggage, sarameg.
