My company has made it worse each year. :( I was able to give them ample supplies of each. Unfortunately I was unable to get a good photo of the Scooby-Doo Band-Aid that the nurse put on my arm.

That deductible is enough to make you sick. :-( That's yearly? Huh. Almost makes you wish you were sick back in March or something; had it taken care of already. Well, I'll be hoping for the best for you. At least they confirmed you DO have blood and urine. That's a good start. Ouch! That deductible is enough to make you sick. :-( That’s yearly? Huh.

Blood and urine analysis won't be complete for a couple of days - Blood pressure checked out fine - Still nearsighted - No signs of colon cancer (oh what a joy it is to be 40 ) - EKG must have been fine (although taking the sticky pads off of hairy chest sucked) - I shouldn't have HIV (not sharing needles or having sex have at least one benefit) The doctor prescribed me an inhaler for my shortness of breath while running. I will monitor the chest tightness which precipitated this visit. If it continues for a time, or gets worse, I will follow up with the doctor again. Final pain will arrive when I find out how much my visit costs me. Under my new health plan I pay 100% until I meet a $1250 deductible. In addition I have no price-break for medication. Ouch! Not 100% sure yet….

I commend you on your taste in music. If you don't have it, their album <em>Patience</em> is really, really good. Over the Rhine is so good, I saw them in Athens almost 10 years ago.
