My First Outing
I was cracked open like an egg two weeks and 5 days ago...
So I got yet another statement from Mayo yesterday. I told you that the $56,000 statement I received wouldn't be the last. This time they even have surgical assistants in there, along with the repair of my atrial septal defect, and my pre-op visits the two days before surgery. The total of this statement? $37,401.00. That brings my surgery and stay at Mayo up to a grand total of $94,055.85. (So far.) I thought it would be closer to 100K. I'm anxious to see what insurance will cover.
By the way, Mayo was so worth it.
Today Will is in his element - his aunt (my younger sis, Melanie) is taking him to Valleyfair. I would love to ride rollercoasters and have fun, Julia thinks, wistfully. But none of that until next summer. Yes, that was a question I asked my surgeon and he said that I can ride all the rollercoasters I want starting next summer. Anyway, Will was really excited and he couldn't wait. Isn't my sis great?
So this morning I'm doing what I do every morning - watching TV and hanging around. Then this afternoon I will shower, get ready, and actually put on real clothes instead of comfy pjs. Then I'm heading out of the house with RobbieMax and my mother-in-law. What are we doing? Well, furniture shopping, of course. I'm not sure what exactly we're shopping for, but I know that there will be a lot of places for me to sit down when I get tired. I'm excited to do something human, but am nervous about getting out. As you know, the only place I've been besides home in the past two weeks since coming home from the hospital is my doctor's office on Monday. And I wore my comfy pjs to that appointment. Getting out of the house should be fun.
OH! I watched Ellen this morning! I laughed and it didn't hurt! Hooray! And it's not hurting quite as bad when I yawn. Woo-hoo! I AM getting better!
Only 13 days until I start cardiac rehab...
Wish me luck on my shopping excursion!
