Light in the Tunnel

If you have kids and Aflac is offered to you I recommend you purchase this insurance. I did over a year ago and to date I am about even on what I spend for the coverage and what I have gotten back. Between small accidents my kids get into it keeps me even. OK so you might say I spent that money and I have recouped back the same and that is true. Now add this piece of the puzzle.

As you all know I broke my tooth on my birthday. I had to get a root canal and a crown. In the end to get my tooth fixed the final cost was around $2100. My dental insurance picked up a bunch and my total cost I ended up putting out ended up being $830. Well I turned in all my receipts and Aflac is not sending me a check for $320. This means that between insurance and Aflac I will only have to cover about $500 of my tooth problem. That is much better than nothing for sure. Also that $320 now puts me up a year of fees. AND I still have my MRI and all those bills to turn in to Aflac for my other surgeries etc.

OK today at lunch I decided to sneak over to the fitness club. I did 45 minutes of spinning class and ran it about 80% of what I would have put into it. I had a good sweat and if I was begun to hurt I cut back a bit. When I was done with the spinning class I went and got on a tread mill and slowly brought myself up to a good running pace. I started at 10 minute pace and moved into a 7:30 pace and then backed down. I finished a mile in 8:56 and there was NO pain. A bit of tightness in my stomach but again NO PAIN! There is light at the end of this pain tunnel.
