Went for coffee with an old friend from college yesterday. Had a wonderful time, the best in a very long while. Still more catching up to do. Plus, I lust after the boat ride on Lake Ontario she has promised me for next summer.

Preferred Care still has not sent insurance cards though they have cashed the September check. No bill for October, either. Brian Trowbridge promised to call me a week ago Friday with my member number and never did. I’ve paid out of pocket nearly $350 for two prescriptions so far, and will need more refilled by Thursday of this week. I’m afraid I will not see most of that money back if the insurance comes through because of the delays.

I never did PT for the shoulder I had surgery on. Could not afford the co-pay and now have no insurance. I have also postponed the MD followup visit. And, Highland Hospital sent me a bill for $75.00 for the surgery. The good news is that about half the time I have no pain and range of motion is pretty good. Scar really does look like I got bit by a zombie, that zipper type scar.

I’m going to be helping out and may have a temp job at a local business. We’ll see if they can afford another employee. Won’t pay very much but the unemployment has run out. Congress never passed an extension to unemployment benefits, so I’m broke.

The lovely wife is doing ok. We need to get insurance because she needs a neuro evaluation for her Social Security disability claim, which is currently in limbo. We both need to get out of the house and out of each other’s hair more.

Mystery of some cat pooping in middle of living room floor this past week. Finally have been moving a litter box into the living room at night and no problems.

Poopy butt Sarah is getting washed as often as we remember. How do you put one cat of four on a diet?

Hey, take a look at some of the ads, would ya? Christmas is coming.
