We don't have HR, small business. I actually just found it. We are through a payroll company and pick our own benefits through the online employee portal. I don't think anyone else would know what I have unless they had the same, there is like 8 options. All it says on my benefits summary is "PLAN H 5000/20%/6900 3RD." Pretty stupid that the carrier's name isn't even on there.

A year ago all I had was my primary care physician. I only went to her a couple of times a year for blood work and a cholesterol med prescriptions. Now I have a dermatologist, a couple of different radiologists and pathologists, surgeon, oncologist, bronchologist, infectious disease specialist, radiation oncologist, interventional radiologist and probably a few more -ologists I can't remember. What a difference a year makes.

Other than that one little scare last month, I finally used my insurance for the first time in years just to go to an ENT for a deep ear cleaning.

Trust me, it's worth it.

They told me again I have an "hourglass-shaped ear canal" so while I can clean the outer part myself, the inner part gets really stuffed and not easily cleaned. So they handle it in like 5 mins.

The first few days are rough because suddenly the ear drums have way more surface area (I would assume) so certain sounds are almost painful to hear, but then once the brain re-adjusts it's pretty sweet.

Worthwile use of insurance.

For the most part I’ve been in the PCP only camp for a long time. My primary departure was a stable of orthopedic surgeons and an occasional dalliance with a cardiologist I supported on the side. The last 7 months have been a bit different. Endocrinologist, ENT, and a Hematologist have moved in. Hoping I can send some of them home shortly. But not the orthpods. I’ve had them far too long to say goodbye now.

Hope 86-‘s situation improves.

I turned 63 six months ago. But I guess cancer can hit anyone at anytime.

New airfoil on the way, going to need to order a couple more sets of springs to play with.

All seriousness, I'm so sorry and best of anything and everything to you and yours. Hope you continue to come here and have some laughs with us for many many more years.

Technically an airfoil is a 2D shape. I think you mean you have a wing on the way.

We talked about this. What did I tell you about using big words?
