And I was true to my word. The day
after our honeymoon, I became his
dependent, and my husband became mine.
We are among the lucky few with not
one, but two insurances. And in the
weird insurance world, our insurances
like each other and are willing to
work with each other in regard to
co-pays and such. This is the same
for our dental insurances as well.
My beloved spouse has a long family
history of colon cancer. He was two
years overdue for another screening.
It's human nature to put things off,
especially when divorce leaves you
with mountains of debt, and the
thought of huge medical bills only
adds to the conundrum.
So after the honeyoon, I made some
phone calls and started setting up
appointments for both of us. I think
I impressed him with my initiative.
He found the colon prep easy. First
some pills, then miralax mixed with
gatorade. This was much tastier than
the last time. We confirmed his test
a few days in advance, and showed
up with time to spare yesterday
morning.
We were in and out in record time,
everyone was lovely and took great
care of us. (No one seemed to mind
my holding his hand, or pda's.)
The lady doctor was excellent, and
one small, half hearted polyp was
sent off for analysis. My spouse
cracked jokes the whole time, and
then treated us to a big country
breakfast.
We'd do it again!
