Grateful for Medical Insurance

Today I am very grateful for the Microsoft Medical Insurance. I have made this reference before, but it is truly amazing! We don't have copays, we don't pay for prescriptions and everything medical is covered completely. In the last two months I have had several doctors appointments, had a mammogram (nothing is wrong), an x-ray, an MRI, got fitted for new orthotics ($600) and have just been prescribed physical therapy and we won't pay a dime.

One of the reasons for all of my appointments has been my foot injury. After my marathon my foot didn't quite feel right and ended up being very painful. I have stopped running for several weeks to see if it would help. It hadn't so I finally had an MRI and I have a ganglian cyst on my nerve that was caused from inflamation. This means, no running for awhile and I have to start physical therapy. The doctor thought it would take about a year to completely heal. :( I miss running.

I am even more jealous. Owning your own business is never good for having great insurance. You are very very lucky.
