Readers of my first blog (cornerpieces - the one I can't quite access anymore, and the one that is one full cornerpiece less than cornerpieces2), may remember the story of how Jill and I found out we were having twins.

[I can actually still find the blog, just not add to it.]
Short version - the ultrasound technician told Jill "Twin A's heart beat looks fine." First notice of twinage. Jill calls me in California, where I am drunk in a Greek restaurant (and have retreated to the bathroom to hear her). Second notice.
Just got news in a similar, allied-health professional relating things best left to doctor news. A call from the Cancer Center let me know that they were sending through a prescription for oral chemo medication that I will likely take while I am doing radiation. She didn't have any other answers for me, but wanted to make sure I knew that they had run it through my insurance and my co-pay will be $0. While thoughtful, I think I'd prefer my "look on the bright side, it's not going to cost you anything" news to be delivered after I hear from the doctor about the decision to put me on chemo, what it means, how will it make my bad July even worse, and be able to answer the thousand other questions I now have that will not be answered till I visit my brave Dr. Valliant Thursday.
"How much will my co-pay be?" is not only way down my list of questions, it may not even make the list.
Opa.
