I found myself traveling through another dimension…
I’m sleepily pondering the irony of sitting in a hospital waiting room today, worrying, while doctors implanted a defibrillator in Yes,Dear’s chest - which we’re not entirely sure our crappy insurance will cover - while the waiting room TV was tuned to an Oprah rerun focusing on the healthcare mess in America. The program featured, among others, Michael Moore talking about his documentary, Sicko. It also featured a representative of the insurance industry who, while admitting that the industry isn’t perfect, says it is working to improve itself even while providing the best available care anywhere in the world.
Right.
Moore made her look like an idiot, which was great. But the whole thing was weird and Twilight Zone-y.

Oh, God.
Sicko is something you probably should not watch right now.
Thinking of you.

I still haven’t seen Sicko yet.
I hope everything goes well with Yes, Dear. Lots of virtual hugs to you!

How’s Yes,Dear doing?
I’ve not seen Sicko yet either.

Thanks, guys. Yes,Dear came home today and he’s doing okay. He’s tired and sore and feeling a little weird about having something in his body that wasn’t part of the original packaging, but he’s relieved it’s there. So am I.

Scary — just saw this and am sending good thoughts.

I’m glad the update says he’s doing okay–that’s some scary stuff.
I have a friend whose husband had one put in a couple of years ago after a scary incident and he’s 100% okay today.
