Social Security & Medicare

Otherwise my gall bladder surgery was completely covered. I live in the Netherlands these days. I had to go to the hospital for a different reason yesterday and when I was sent home I strolled out the door, having signed no papers promising payment and paying nothing. It occurred to me that now I think that's normal. When I first moved here I tried to pay. They thought I was nuts.

XanaDUer, I hope you're recovering well from your surgery. I remember it took me a few weeks before I stopped having some pain and felt normal again. Take care of yourself.
