Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Ah, this might explain it

The high blood pressure?

Perhaps my body was just anticipating the phone calls I was going to have today, where I deal with the insurance company and the billing department of the hospital and all of the related health care providers who are sending me big bills because somebody (who was not me) didn't file the right paperwork at the right time.

I suppose I could risk not paying the bills...I have a house and a car, so I'm not trying to get credit right now...or I could do as the insurance people suggest, and pay the bills and then get refunds from the hospital and the related health care providers, when they realize that I shouldn't have paid them so much money.

Y'know, I'm grateful that I'm not sick, and for a couple days, I really thought that trivial crap like this would never bother me again. But it only takes one frustrating call with a customer "service" person to bring me right back to the real world.
