Where is the #care in Health Care? "Blue Cross had stranded many of the center’s patients with high bills, amounts that it had absorbed over the years. On several occasions, though, Blue Cross executives had signed special one-time deals with the center, known as single case agreements, to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment."

ProPublica“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

My post breast surgery showers are being comical enough to make myself laugh. Stand sideways on so water does not soak dressings, but the best bit is that a shower cap is ideal for covering a breast, of course it takes some gynastics, holding a showercap, a cloth on top to cover the lymphatic nodes surgery site, and try to wash the rest of the bod! Apart from the fact I'm in pain, it makes me chuckle! #Breastcancer #showercontortions #mastodon #fediverse

Jeff Bezos: 'Putting the ass in astronaut...'

Wtaf? Though I do feel validated when I have seller's remorse over my recent decision to close my Audible (and Amazon) accounts.

On breast cancer, I find it interesting that mammograms can test negative but a test with a less well known procedure can apparently flag the presence of cancer. Must find out more...

It's done and I'm back home. It was suggested I stay in hospital overnight for the pain control I'd get but I really wanted to come home. Youngest son stayed overnight and I'm very grateful for that, it felt secure if anything did go wrong. Also loved having company from son #2 during the wait from the tracer injection to going in for the surgery appointment.
Lovely care at Northampton General hospital.

Getting the canula in was a bit of a wince, (understatement) My veins do not play ball with needles! Surgery site very swollen and uncomfortable, now to healing and ten days to see if there has to be a repeat.

Do check your breasts and if there is anything unusual to you, anything, just go and get checked. As the excellent surgeon said, this did not show up on a mammogram, only via a biopsy.

Thank you for all the good wishes, they were very much appriciated.

Just as it was getting light this morning, I stood and had a good look at my naked body in the mirror, something I avoid doing since I got older. Tomorrow, I doubt I'll have time, so today I wanted to say a fond farewell to the part of my breast that will be removed.
I noticed the old scars, the love handles and the bumps and stretches that came from carrying three children, and from simply living. My body isn't perfect, not by any stretch, but it's mine. It tells a story. The lines, the marks, the wear and tear, they speak of love, loss, laughter, survival. I’ve got some metal bits but I’m far from bionic, and after tomorrow I’ll have more changes to carry. But I’ll still be here.
I looked at the story written on my body, the outward marks of love, happiness, pain and sadness and thought: Oh bugger it, go get some breakfast.
