Hey everyone !

Just talked to Aria and she wanted me to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement via emails,vm's, etc.

 The procedure went well and she's not feeling too bad considering.. She is feeling tired and is now hopefully sleeping peacefully at this moment !

She should be back to her usual feisty self in no time !  

Peace all !

I actually found her blog to be very interesting and somewhat insightful.

As a side note I'd like to make a comment, not just for providers but anyone facing tough times and rising insurance costs. The real primary purpose of insurance is for a catostrophic scenario. Your better off "self insuring" for anything routine...

As an example a basic bluecross policy with a $10,000 deductable is $67/month for a woman 25-29. A single dependent is $42...so $109/month will provide quality coverage for serious illness or injury. The same plan with a $1500 deductable is $241/month. Compare this to the "blue preferred" plane with a $500 deductable at $429/month. So after 1 year you'd have a savings of over $3800 minus actual out of pocket expenses (which "normally" fall within the $500 deductable anyway.)

I don't think I realized what an amazing collection of sweet and considerate men are here.  I mean... I knew... but I didn't really 'know'... until now.

Thank you so much to everyone for the kind thoughts and charming emails!

I am doing very well and in spite of everything, I have a smile on my face thanks to all you wonderful gentlemen.

I am indeed a very blessed gal.
