X-Message-Number: 20457 From: "Brett Bellmore" <> Subject: good use for $2000 Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 20:19:52 -0500 This summer I had to decide quick on whether or not to join the company's new medical savings account plan. Since I'd wanted Lasik, I set the fund amount fairly high... only to find I wasn't a candidate. Amazingly healthy eyes that correct to 20-15 with glasses, (Very unusual for somebody who's nearsighted enough to focus on their own nose, I was told.) but my corneas are too thin. So here I am, approaching the end of the year, and I've got $2000 that turns into a pumpkin in a month and a half, if I don't spend it on something medical, NOT plastic surgery, that my insurance doesn't cover. I can blow a couple hundred on new glasses, but any suggestions for the rest, keeping in mind I don't have long? I'm thinking some kind of cardiovascular test would be a good idea. A Thallium scan, maybe? Nuclear stress test? Brett Bellmore Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20457
