Complete it!



Some things are better left to the opposite sex to handle… (Did I just say that, lol?)

Sure many men today understand that women have their own set of abilities, and mine, husband, is not any different than any others, although decades ahead of most when knowing when to allow “his woman” to handle the finances.

Yeah, I did cringe using that expression. (His woman)

We have been equal partners in our marriage, in raising our two sons and also in three businesses, but when it comes to paying bills over the years it has gone back and forth all these forty-four years.



I have been the one in charge of paying bills over these last several and negotiating any financial issues, which for some reason has become more difficult over these last few years with my patience getting thinner than I like to admit, oh you all know though, don’t you?



So after turning my insides and worries every which way you can come up with reminding myself of all my financial spending mistakes just in the last few months and not being able to sleep with that worry, not to mention how it was effecting my health I asked Hubby to take over the realization that what happened in the emergency room was his first hand experience when the receiving clerk there told him that according to what she read off her computer after entering my insurance card that my co-pay was $450 not the bill that we received for over $2700!



Hubby went right to the top this morning and asked to speak to the CEO of the hospital and explained what happened and if we had been told differently we would have gone elsewhere, across the street in this case!



True they circumvented his call to a lesser titled person but she was quite reasonable and felt that we could and should pay ONLY the co-pay we were quoted and the agreement ensued immediately and the final agreement was two payments of $225 and so it was done via our credit card and the remainder will be paid next month, ta da!

Thank you Hubby!

Tag this time you were it!

And did great!



Moving on…



This morning in spite of the nasty night of little sleep; I was due for two medical tests today, fasting blood work including A1C (diabetes test), Hubby did his miracle with the bill when we got home, and my mammogram was this afternoon with results from that immediately, I’m good!



Blood work results will be told to me next week when I see my GP. Both tests were covered by Florida Blue 100% wow, something!

I had to cancel my bone density though due to finding out that Florida makes me soooo Blue unhealthy insurance company has a $100 co-pay, but when I reach that certain age of sixty-five it will be covered 100%, only a few more months and so I scheduled it for then.



Between my MS and my worries about everything these days, I seem to be sabotaging myself.

And yes I did feel stared at today with my latest scar added onto my upper lip…



On that note of I need to have some hope to try harder to feel better physically and mentally and so allow me to be the first one to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS I did not give up paying all bills or even negotiating them I just believe that Hubby  knew exactly what had transpired better than I since I was not in the room at that time. So there, still tough as ever!
