@jk. I always take my Nook too so that I can read while waiting. I try not to touch anything. I believe hospitals are the worst for germs; after all it's sick people. Sick people = germs! Our insurance was good, but hospitals and some doctors don't take every insurance, so that's why I say it was our vacation. Lately, they are raising co-pays and all costs for medical anything. Such greed!

@retiredteacher we have been very fortunate in how our insurance has covered almost everything. My transplant totaled about $500,000 but we paid a pittance. I pay more for some drug co-pays than I have for doctors and hospitals.
When I went on Medicare I also got the best supplental. My husband thought I was overdoing it but I just had a feeling that we would be glad I had, and we were. My parents both died in their 60s from heart problems so that was what I was anticipating, never cirrhosis and a liver transplant. That was a real curveball.
