What if it Snows?

Ole lady didn’t like the song I started singing to her... said it was in bad tastes.
I told her i didn’t know that song...
She wasn’t impressed about that comeback either.


Here’s the scene.
then the song and I started with, “The world is on fire....”

 

Must be the hangover from the 4th— been waiting 3 hrs to get new skins on the camp trailer before heading to the mountain and the otherwise good MF’ers are just starting— wishing I could rent out the OM for a half hour to go biblical on the SOB’s and plumb the boys up

 

Never mind about the OM, I took care of her light work— my buddy, the outside salesman, showed up and we had a very direct conversation and they got 3 of them working on it— fat boy at the counter don’t like me anymore

 

Street I grew up on used to be, I'm sure, Gravel at some point, but it was Tar sealed gravel, so falling on it from a bicycle or steel wheeled skateboard equaled a similar healing process.

...and probably another line of guys wishing that hadn't.

 

You know what I’d do— that was a BS rookie move

 

THE Total Cost for the entire regimen including Surgeries (A Shot in an Arm is considered "Surgery") and Chemo, minus a few bits out of pocket, was around $55,000.00 in 2001. Doctors told me before the process began "Whether or not you can afford the procedures, you'll have the procedures"!

 

That sounds like a good price, even for 2001. Prices have gone up a little since then.
I had stage 3-a lymphoma in 2016. Six rounds of chemo with Rituximab, five MRIs, five CAT scans, blood work weekly, 21 radiation treatments, follow up Rituximab monthly for six months with b-monthly blood work, travel costs and office calls. The total, including medications, came to just over $700,000 bucks.
Medi-Care with my Blue Cross supplement and dealing with a faith based non profit health organization (Catholic) meant 0 out of pocket costs.
My wife, a pediatrician, had privileges at both hospitals I used but there was no discount given because of that.
Also, if I timed it just right I ate most of my meals in the infusion lab for free. That was a mixed blessing.
