Well, considering WA state has a wait of THREE months for pre-existing
conditions, IF you don't have prior insurance, I am not worried. They can
yell pre-existing all they want, but since I have Medicare, they still have
to pay for everything right away. :)

The one thing about the dosage of the pump is that I'm going to have to
have the doctor play with it, I can tell. Too much, and I can't even
transfer. *laugh*
