It occurred to me recently that my decision to wait so long to go to the doctor about my toe is not all that different than the decision I made while driving home from Florida near Ozark, Arkansas years ago when I kept trying to go to one more exit to find cheaper gas only to finally run out and end up a day late and $1000 poorer. Who knows how much the toe is going to cost. Both experiences have been good for me. They're helping me realize that I actually need to be less tolerant at times when action is needed. I pride myself on my tolerance. But, just like anything, too much of it can be detrimental. Somewhere between tolerance and rashness is where we all ought to be, right?

I'm not sure I know what you mean. That you should not have been so tolerant of the pain for so long? So was all that lovely pain medication free also?
Yes, I think tolerant of the pain is an accurate description. As for other fees, we've yet to see anything on paper. I'm tolerantly waiting... :)
