Current balance for broken arm: $1,168.00.* Not including co-pays, or the ER bill, which we haven’t seen yet. Or all those OTHER doctor visits this month. Or the antibiotics or Henry’s meds, which cost TWICE as much now that we’re having them compounded. Or all the wine I’ve drunk since this started.

On the upside, this may be the LAST cast.  We go back in two weeks and the doctor is pretty optimistic that the arm will be completely healed.  And until then, he won’t get run over in the parking lot because you can see that orange cast about three blocks away.

*Before insurance. Thank GOD for insurance.
