64K Medical Marathon
Gee, it's no wonder I'm worn out and BROKE today. Yesterday I ran (ok, with my van) a 64K Medical Marathon. I guess I didn't train very well, because after getting my eyes dilated and spending $565 on two pair of lenses, including the exam, NO NEW FRAMES, well, I had a headache pretty much for the rest of the day. I went home and rested for the next leg of the race.
I did have some time at home to rest, and by then, my headache pretty much did subside, but then mid afternoon I jumped into the race again, and ran (again in my van) 18 miles to my dentist to get the space between my two front teeth fixed. I am happy to report they are good as NEW again, but my checkbook isn't doing too well. Add $92.50 (my copay--thank God for dental insurance!) to the $565 I spent this morning, and I'm getting to be quite an expensive commodity.
I jumped out of the dentist's chair with just five minutes to spare. Next leg of the race was two blocks up the street to see my Chiropractor. Add another $15 copay, and I'm up to $672.50 for the day. I hope Louie doesn't decided I'm too expensive to keep! (Maintenance, yes, that's what it is...God forbid what I'd look like without maintenance!)
That didn't take too long, and I headed back the 18 miles I had just ran, and was back home by 5:15pm. I seriously thought about going over to the Doctor's clinic just to round out the trip, but decided I really could save that for another day. I felt like I had 'exposed' enough of me for one day. Glad I don't run those marathons very often. I'm afraid I wouldn't make it!
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20
What kind of guarantee or warranty came with all these body repair jobs?
ReplyDeletebut aren't you glad you have the insurance...even if you had to pay the co-pays/
Enjoy your weekend.
