It's July 28th and I just got my hospital bill from my recent surgery. With that bill, I'm just $40 something dollars away from reaching my complete out of pocket for 2008. I think this is both a good thing and a bad thing.
It's good because I will not have to pay anymore money for my insurance for the rest of this year! This doesn't include my recent gynecological visit, oncology visit, follow up with my breast surgeon tomorrow, blood work to check my glucose and thyroid, my CT chest, pelvis and bone scans, my implant switch, nipples, tattoo, and my final visit with my oncologist for 2008.
The bad thing is that I've spent almost $4500 on insurance this year and it starts all over come January 2009. As often as I complain about my insurance company, I'm also very thankful that I have insurance and most importantly that I can afford to pay for my high deductible.
I haven't splurged on much the past two and half years but Italy is on my bucket list. It will give me an opportunity to start saving the last 5 months of this year so I can scratch Italy off my list!
