Stitched

[clevermanka]

We have a mosquito (or mosquitoes) in the house. I have fifteen bites on my torso, front and back, and one on my right hand in the webbing between index finger and thumb.

Yesterday I was cutting up some chicken for lunch. Slipped and sliced my left index finger. A tight compress and twenty minutes later, it was still bleeding. I called Mommy and she recommended I get myself some stitches.

Two stitches and a tetanus shot cost me $165 because Blue Cross Blue Shield has something called a surgery deductible. Can you believe it?

That was an expensive sammich. I shoulda tried harder to find someone to go out to lunch with me.

With all the deductibles, you might as well not have 'insurance'.

SRSLY.

Without insurance, it would have cost me $190. So a whopping savings of $35. Better than nothing, but still. Bleah.

Insurance would still be nice for the catastrophic stuff.

When RS and I were recently riding horses on vacation, another rider slipped and fell off the horse on a steep incline.
My two thoughts:
Hey, that was a great dismount and dodge.
Shit, if that happens to me, I have not insurance.
