Significant Life Event !!

How do people survie without decent health insurance ?? :-?

I think the question should be what did they do that waranted a price of $245K. The cost of a home.  Everybody is hand ringing about the cost of insurance when they should be investigating the $10 aspirin.

I'm glad that you are covered Bob, and they were there when needed, but at what price

A friend of mine just got his bill for his partial knee replacement, which included one night in the 'resort & spa:' $145,000.

Finished my first week of work after  having a heart attack .
No issues, like I never left !
First day back on a motorcyle after 8 weeks on Tuesday, a little bit unsettled at first, but all back to" normal " now .
Three years and 3 months to retirement !!

Don't rush things, Bob, milk that LTD for all you can get!  [smiley=wink.gif]

I used sick time for this, I had accrued the maximum amount of time allowable 250 days used 35 days with this event .
I need to get sick alot before I retire !!

[Justin B.]

I reckon!  Can you sell it when you retire?

[Bob_Roller]

No, if you have sick time when you retire, you lose it !!

There was a policy that you could convert 1 sick day for one month of health insurance, with all the baby boomer employees, they realized that it would be too costly so it was cancelled about 10 years ago .

Bummer...  I'd be tempted to start being sick!

Me too, but it makes me feel good that someone like Bob is on the job. I'm not afraid to fly but could be considered a "concerned flyer." Folks like Bob turning the wrenches make me breath easier when I have to be airborne.

Boy just catching up here as I was having a bit of a time getting onto the forum. So while I am here now I want to take this opportunity to wish both Bob and Tony the very best. I am concerned. Great Bob is doing well. Want Tony to know I am cheering for him!! [smiley=clap.gif]

Thank you Sue.

The good news is that at the midpoint of my chemotherapy the CT and PET scans were redone and that there was no sign of Cancer. I was assigned the Deauville Number of "2" which essentially means "cancer free".

You could not have wiped the grin off my face with a bat the day I got that news. From stage 4 to remission  in 2.5 months.

However, I still have one more round of chemo and then a trip to a larger city to the South for stem Cell therapy. The idea being to push that remission out as long as possible.

But I am feeling positve and reckon I have a few more years of motorcycling left in me after all.


Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts

Thank you for the update, Tony.  That is fine news and we all are hoping for continuing good news on your condition.

Fantastic, Tony!  I do not want to loose any more inmates, that is an order!

Bob, I think you should develop a 96 hour bug every Friday until you retire.
