Bills, Bills, Bills...

So, I have recieved like 3 bills recently in the mail which relates to illness last month. And they are quite shockers. Let me break them down...

--$950
This first bill was from Maui Memorial Hospital (where I stayed) and it was the bill for the emergency service they provided me when I first came in from the 911 call and ambalance trip. This bill is STRICTLY for the first hour I was in the hospital, before I even got a room. Because, they didn't have my insurance information at that time, this is an actually bill in which I need to contact my insurance to pay for...

--$17,000
Yes, you read right. This was the actually hospital bill for my week stay at the hosital. Isn't it just INSANE?!! I am SOOOOOOO GLAD i have really good insurance that will pay for it all. Its just amazing how expensive health care is in America...

--$221
This is my cell phone bill for last month. And its that huge because I was constantly on the phone with ppl during peak hours. In fact, this was because I went over my minutes about 300 minutes (I have only 300 minutes plus unlimited nights/weekend). And this is one bill I HAVE TO PAY :( Really can't argue this one ...

So, how am I doing? Better...much better....

I had my next appointment with my spine specialists and she gave me the okay to start physical therapy and even start work on Feb 14th on a part time basis (probably come in after lunch).

I got a sexy new brace which is lighter and very lacey and I can wear under my clothes. And because its lighter, I can also drive my car (if only around the east side).

Justin, who was staying with me the last week, showed me a really good time while he was here. I mean, besides driving me around and helping me do errands, he also took me out and let me have a life. I mean, we went out with bunch of girls to play pool, we hanged out at bars and even went to a couple of house parties. But the best thing we did was we actually drove up to Vancouver Sunday/Sunday to just hang out, do some shopping and see my friend Andrea who was in town. Not bad for a crippled guy, eh?

Thx Justin for taking care of me...
