Yikes...

Looking back at my posting history here, I see a sharp dropoff during the time my heart issue started making itself known...

...and then really took center stage. And while I was posting some on Twitter and later on BlueSky, my energy level had been sliding for so long that at that point, it was less than nothing. I only made two posts here in 2024--both for Chickam.

So I'll try to do better...and that means I'm going to backpost a few things here. So if you follow me on BlueSky (I've left Twitter, and no, I'll never call it that) you'll see 'new blog post' pop up now and then, for stuff that happened in the last year.

BTW, the bill for my TAVR heart surgery was four pages long and came to $176,436.22...with the little valve clocking in at $120,000 all by its lonesome. This did not include a seperate bill for $900 in blood work. But my surgeon, his team, and the nursing staff at the hospital were all freakin' awesome.

Healthcare in America, kids!
