We have been looking for private family medical insurance for a while now. I thought that it would be easier to get coverage, but I have a medical condition that apparently is supposed to cause me to overuse my insurance.
The companies think that I’m obese. My mom always said that I was big boned. I’m not sure if that helped me or hurt me, but it didn’t change my eating habits.
I’m being force to do that now. Besides my weight, they have another reason to say no. I have been denied coverage for high blood pressure as well.
My wife is thin. She can barely keep her seat down at the movies. She looks much younger than her fifty-five years.
She says that she wants me to be healthy. In fact she has always said that. She runs every other day. She really believes in exercise and eating right. This was not one of the things we have had in common over the years.
I’m starting to see the light. She says that so long as I’m breathing it isn’t too late to turn things around.
Now she is walking with me three days a week. It’s not much of a workout for my bride, but it gets my heart rate up. She is sweet for doing this for me. I like having her company on the walks.
With our hectic schedules we are unable to connect a lot of the time. Maybe my ill health will give us the excuse to reconnect and to smell the roses together. I think the together part is very important.
