We had a bad day Thursday that turned out moderately well. The oncology center called to make sure we knew that the primary healthcare coverage we have through my job is an indemnity program and not insurance, and doesn't cover any of her followup therapy. The emotional effect of this was that qtrhorserider didn't go into work and I came home from work late morning, in order to meet early afternoon with the business managers of the oncology center and of the hospital.

In looking over the benefits information we have, however, we were able to identify that they do also include a supplementary insurance policy that will cover at least enough of the costs to make the rest manageable through a payment plan with the hospital; and we gave that information to
the business managers when we went in.

So we had a couple of hours of panic midday followed by a relatively quiet afternoon and evening.

We still decided this week that we need to look for a less expensive place to live.

Chemo starts Wednesday.
