Oh, and out if curiosity I asked the nurse for the cost for the Chemo: about $5,000 per round (thats for 2 days of treatments, bloodwork, chemo drugs, doctor and nurse time, etc) or between $15,000 ad $30,000 for the whole thing (3 to 6 rounds). When I go to MCHA for health insurance I will hit my yearly out of pocket max within my first visit of the round. That first visit will hurt (the $3,000 that I will personally pay) but all health care will be 100% covered afterward for the rest of the year. Health insurance: it's a necessary evil. My guess is that this cancer stuff will cost my insurance company $70k-100k just this year alone. Ouch. I'd better run for governor or something, since Minnesota is doing a lot for me. I feel like giving back.

This Ain't no Fooling Around
Back from Chemo. It went well, no nausea at all at the moment, really feeling just fine except I'd like to take a nap, which I will shortly. The steroid will kick in tonight and make it hard to sleep, so I need to take advantage of it while I can.

If you could somehow manage to make Jesse Ventura shut the f*** up, that would be worth a lot. What a maroon.
He Who Must Not Yet, etc.
