I am thankful for having a good Veteran'a Hospital 250 miles away that will do a hernia repair for me for next to nothing. I do have private insurance but the out of pocket costs are high. VA bills the private ins, then picks up the rest except for a small co-pay.

BTW, BB said she will miss me when I am gone for the 2 days. Ride there tomorow AM, pre evaluation on Monday afternoon.

Surgery at 7AM on Tuesday and I get to ride back home the 250 miles around 1PM that day. I hope I make it home w/o too much trouble.

Good to hear the cat is better Lil.
