captainsblogTwo bumper stickers seen in the gym parking lot last night:
These were on the same car, not surprisingly.
I should probably check out the CafePress hypertensive collection. It's been a week now, and while I haven't tested it since starting the Lisinopril (recheck with the doctor is in two weeks), I've noticed that there's been less trouble getting back to sleep in the middle of the night, and also my workouts seem to be going a little better- fewer of those OMG I Can't Go Any Further bits.
Now, on the plate for today, is choosing between two new health insurance plans, since Eleanor's COBRA has finally run out; she switched to Wegmans coverage (available only for her), and Emily to RIT's (likewise). The choice for me is basically a matter of Well, do ya feel lucky, punk? The closest to the coverage we have now would be a sure-thing premium of about (get ready to grimace) seven grand for the rest of this year, but there would be little expense over that. The gambly alternative costs much less per month, but the first $1,500 is entirely out of pocket. If I kept it that low for the year, the cost would be about $1,500 less a year than Column A. On the other hand, if Bad Things Happened and I wound up hitting the $4,000 annual out-of-pocket maximum? That would run about $1,000 a year more than Column A.
Decisions, decisions.
