Last fall there were some unusual pain coming from the hip area. Wanted to know and went to a hip bone specialist and requested an x-ray which I got. I'm good to go till the end which was important to know. The doc was a cornfield boy and we had much in common and shared a bunch of yucks. That cost me $20.
Not long ago got a piece of steel in my eye and the ladies in Salida took care of that for me pronto. That was another $20 and $10 for some eye drops.
A week ago about right at this time had a colonoscopy. I'm good to go for 10 years. A 1400 smack deal and it cost me $50 for the prescription.
I was treated so nice each time. Those are the times in the last 10-15 years I have used my health insurance excluding dental and I need to get a minor thing done before I'm done in October.
I will probably this summer get a minor physical and some blood work done to see if there is anything that can be found now that will kill me in the next three years. If there is I'll keep working because if not I'm done.
What's this mean. Well that I'm pretty healthy and lucky too. How lucky I'll be for three years without insurance remains to be seen.
Fly is just a peckerhead and a pissant in time like we all are but at the very least the most powerful and at one time the richest country country in the world could at the very minimum provide screening to all residents of this country to find and prevent diseases from killing when there is no need to die.
It's not hard to do that but war is more profitable so there ya go ya see.
One last thing is in 2014 when we get charged from the government for insurance I damn well better get something for it because there's little money there for nothing.
UPDATE
I just remembered maybe three years ago had a biopsy done to check for skin cancer. There was none. This is something that kills very easily. Not much at all if detected early.
I hope that was a 'colonoscopy' you had, Fly, and not a 'colostomy'.
ReplyDeleteI make so many mistakes and much of the time can't catch them. It's embarrassing. Thanks buddy!
ReplyDeleteNo problema! I'm just tickled that it was just a colonoscopy!
