Our angel

(Patron Saint of Health, Arch Angel St. Raphael)

In a week, our Patron Saint of Health, will leave his Bushman family observation deck. Yes the long 8 months of being uninsured will come to a close next Monday, December 1st. And with the earthly insurance policy finally coming into effect, the divine 'insurance policy' will expire. We have felt on many occassions the influence of divine power, protecting us from injury and sickness. It has not been a clean bill of health for the past 240 days, but we have escaped major issues and feel extremely blessed. (And no, I haven't recently converted to Catholocism, just wanted to put a face to the way we've felt.)

I look forward with anticipation to co-pays and deductibles and frustrating phone calls to the evil insurance company for not covering what they said. Yet, I'm a little concerned for our guardian angel to leave us! I personally have 3 doctors appointments lined up, Brenna and Cannon their wellness checks, and 3 dental visits all in the already busy month of December. One of my appointments is even scheduled for December 1st! And the great thing about starting coverage in December, is we have a years worth of medical savings plan (if that's the right term) to use in one month. And I am taking full advantage of that!
