Today, it is four years and nine months since Mike died. God, I miss him. He was a wonderful life partner and companion. I burned a yahrzeit candle. I read a person’s after life is determined by those who remember them. Mike should be more than fine. I will think of him every day for the rest of my life. he was loved by so many in the community. Some from church recommended a book to me of prayers to help the departed escape purgatory and enter heaven. I had a bad reaction to it. It made Mike’s successful afterlife dependent on others. It also meant that if purgatory and heaven are real and we all have to be prayed for to ascend, I’m screwed- as are so many others I know.
I finally got the hospital bill from the Kona Community Hospital. The fees for the surgeries were itemized. I mean, every action, every screw, was individually noted. Who recorded all this as they worked for five hours on my elbow and three on my shoulder? Without insurance, the total would have been over $249,150. I was charged $2,360 for two surgeries and two weeks in the hospital.
