Thank you."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I got the mail today and opened a letter from our insurance company, which said:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We reviewed your request to cover Endovenous ablation therapy of incompetent vein&#8230;blah, blah, blah&#8230;.

It&#8217;s nice to know that, since I had the first procedure TWO DAYS AGO.<\/p>\n<p>Ahem.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling a bit better now.  Yesterday was kind of a &#8220;poor lonely sad bruised me, I can hardly walk&#8221; day, but I stayed home, watched me some Gray&#8217;s Anatomy, and cried.  Crying was good.  Because after I cried, I felt better.<\/p>\n<p>Today I got to take off the compression stockings and have a shower. And you should SEE the bruises.  I was shocked at the grossness.  Want to see?  <img src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/2009-05-17\/img_5096.thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>  Here&#8217;s a close up so you can see the bruise better.  <img src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/2009-05-17\/img_5097.thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But you want to know the best part of the surgery?  Besides the sexy support hose, of course.  The best part is having meals brought in.  Seriously.  It&#8217;s been a LONG time since anyone&#8217;s brought in a meal, and I must say, I like it.  And since I&#8217;m not really having a baby anytime soon, there really isn&#8217;t much meal bringing going on, so this was a nice treat.  My visiting teachers brought in a meal on Thursday, and even though Ryan could have probably cooked up something, or I could have thrown something in the microwave, it was just NICE to have that meal brought in.  Nothing makes you feel loved like a meal that you didn&#8217;t have to cook.  Or plan.  Or shop for.  And if one free meal weren&#8217;t enough, my friends took it upon themselves to bring in another meal on Friday, and even though we tried to tell them that we had a soccer party to go to, they brought it anyway.  You can just cook this and eat it on Saturday, if you want, they said.  Wow!  I feel TOTALLY loved!  A meal in my fridge!  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to have to remember how great this felt, and take someone else a meal soon.  Not because they are having a baby, but maybe if they are having a hard day, or they aren&#8217;t feeling well, or maybe just because.  Because it really does make you feel loved when someone brings in a meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got the mail today and opened a letter from our insurance company, which said: &#8220;We reviewed your request to cover Endovenous ablation therapy of incompetent vein&#8230;blah, blah, blah&#8230;.
