Medical

Mary Beth and I went over my benefits for next year. We looked over everything in great detail but went with what we've currently got. Also, I feel better about it when we really compared all the numbers. Even worst case scenario, you'd barely save anything with the higher plan, it's more just how much you pay upfront versus the "installments" of a higher premium. Also, never really looked at dental closely. It's just pretty crummy. Instead of a maximum you pay (like "medical" insurance...I mean, dental is really medical too), it's a maximum that the insurance company pays! Anyway, that's all ready to go. I had thought I'd try out a neck brace to help since nothing seemed to help with how I position myself when sleeping, my neck always seems to get set back as it always gets pushed up against. So I went to cvs and got a neck brace and tried it out. I think it made my neck worse! I wore it for a little bit laying down, but think it set back any progress (if any) made during the day. And then I had another night where it hurt no matter what I did and I just had to keep changing positions/pillows until I went back to a combination I'd already tried but I was at least able to ignore the pain enough to go to sleep. I did mostly sleep at least. I really need to figure sleeping out. This sucks. I mean, I hope it just wouldn't have been so bad last night if I didn't start off by messing myself up with that neck brace.
