LOL, some of the itch is hair growing back and it looks like some side effects of gall bladder trouble might subtly increase itchiness too.
And did get a quote for health insurance next year.
All but $20,000 annual premium.
Sheesh. Yeah, a little easier to take, I suppose, knowing my gall bladder issue is going to run past a 12/31/2017. And it is a bump up in coverage level from BCBS which doesn't offer a plan with that (lower) level of copays, deductibles and exclusions.
But good golly Molly, I can swing that premium, but how the holy fuck can most other folks swing an expense like that ??
And how can I in the future?
Let's say 2019 is $28,000, 2020 is $40,000, 2021 is $55,000 (same rate of increase I've had since start of ACA) how the fuck is that going to work ?? Am I looking at selling some farm land as I come up on Medicare eligibility? Shit, don't want to do that. Income from my farm supports others besides me. The rest are grandfathered in pre-ACA BCBS policies, but not me. Is it fair to eff them so I can keep coverage?? (not even sure I could with partnership arrangement, BTW)
Do I find myself rooting for the economy heating up enough and grain/commodity prices rise fast enough to grow farm my income to keep me covered ??
Shit, feeling punk from gall bladder as it is, now I get to fret over this indefinitely.
I'm pissed at BCBS, but I'll admit mixed feelings for Medica. Yeah, good for them stepping in to ACA crater, but damn, making the numbers work. Ouch.
And yes, don't know if I mentioned ordering a new Ranger, but I canceled it recently. Can't justify expense with so many unknowns. And hell, it ain't unknown, past is prologue, I'd be a twit not to assume lines on the graph are going to change their angle now.
BTW, no incision pain today, unless I cough. Gall bladder is lit up, but no surprise there. Going in tomorrow for another round of blood work.
Also, hope dietician can work me in, having trouble with meal prep. Found in post op instructions some more diet restrictions. Hard enough as it was.
Poo !!
Also, with (hopefully) soon gall bladder procedure, I can't take aspirin. Argh !!
Your vorlon LOVES aspirin. Little white pill of the Gods it is. Unfortunately, it's an efficient anti-coagulant too.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
