A quick vent - I am having spinal fusion surgery tomorrow. I was in court this morning helping a friend who was cited for violating a restraining order while going thru a divorce. I was able to negotiate to have a "stay of adjudication" where as long as there are no other offenses in the next 6 months the charges will be dropped. My friend was very happy.

But here is my vent. For some reason my W was calling the insurance people to find out d18's id number, who lost her insurance card - she must have a little of W in her? smile So W calls me frantically after I get out of court to tell me our health insurance was cancelled on April 28th.

I've been paying the health insurance premiums for the whole family for the past 3 months. So I thought that there was something more going on. But my blood pressure was still skyrocketing at the thought of having my surgery tomorrow w/o insurance coverage.

I made a call and found out lo and behold, W was wrong. The health insurance is open and active, everyone is covered. I texted W telling her she was "a goon" for unnecessarily putting me thru this, and reassuring her that our insurance is in place.

W texted back saying "it's better to be safe than sorry". mad No, I didn't need that today. Vent completed. I am excited to get this surgery done, and start moving on with my health.
