We're talking about "health" something everyone has in one way or another. I think the U.S. way costs everyone more, for no better quality. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm certainly glad that it's just a typical Rick-type bruise and we can get on with LIVING! This was a cloud hanging over us for awhile and we didn't feel right sharing it until we knew what it was we were dealing with.

Seems that the Europe...Good to hear all went well. Seems that the Europeans are smarter than we are with regards to health care and you would have had the same results in almost any other European country. <BR/>When we were in Italy a woman in our tour group broke her arm when she fell. The Italians would have taken care of it at no cost to her but she and her daughter opted to go back to the states for care. I would have stayed. You might think me a socialist but I still think insuring everyone through a single payer system would be a good idea. Take care and have a great time.ted and ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643838137070723934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532806126954584428.post-59846982275808443912008-08-08T18:22:00.000+02:002008-08-08T18:22:00.000+02:00Always safe to have weird things checked.
