Anniversary....

It was three months ago today that I entered the hospital to undergo the rebuilding of my heart using spare parts from my leg. I'm doing well, walking a brisk 2 miles a day and grateful to God, family and a great team of doctors. I stopped by my surgeon's office, Dr. Patel, to check in and say thanks. The nurse says that I can stop wearing my stylish orthopedic hoisery and that my five large leg incisions have healed about as well as she has ever seen. Again gratitude for all involved and....

Hospital Bill: $xx,xxx, Dr. Patels bill: $x,xxx, Dr. Suckarieh's bill: $x,xxx, Dr. Browns bill: $x,xxx. Having these fine folks submit all the bills directly to the Veteran's Administration for payment: PRICELESS!
