Hope you make it thru this ordeal with some great improvements, Slomo. Keep us updated on how you feel now that the prostate is completely gone.
dogboy said:Well I guess that comes under the heading of good news/bad news. The real pain will begin when you start getting the bills for all of this. I had two cataracts removed in January. They tell you it will cost $385.00 per eye which it did. What they didn't tell me was that after my insurance covered most of the expenses, I still had to pay $600.00 for the eye drops and this week I got a + $1000.00 bill for the anesthesia. I'm hoping that was for both surgeries, but the surgeries were two weeks apart and I'm fearing another $1000.00 bill coming in the mail. My fixed income is going to have to stretch.
Anyway, I'm glad things are going in "the right direction". Hopefully the pain will get less and less, the physical pain, that is. Good luck.
Slomo said:I try not to rub it in, but copays for military retirees are ridiculously small. I doubt I'll even get a $100 bill from the hospital. But yeah, If I got hurt as a civilian then I probably wouldn't even had been allowed to have insurance before the Affordable Care Act. Heck, I'd probably be dead from not being able to afford my necessary care.
