Finally home after 10 days in the hospital. My insurance covered everything so far; I can’t imagine what this would cost if I had to pay out if pocket: $100k, $250k, $500k or more? Same question but more utilitarian, “How much do we spend to save a life? What if that life is already > 1/2 over? What if it was a child with many years to live?” I don’t known the answers, just glad to be alive.
So the pain has gotten worse, if that is possible. The discharge team called in a huge list of prescription but they forgot the painkillers. Ugh. I won’t get then until tomorrow morning so a rough night ahead.
