I’ve just cleaned my desk at work, thrown out two boxes of paper, and will have a leisurely week off next week. [...] […] The 22nd seems to have become my regular year in review date.

There are many advantages to our health system but it too has problems like Denmark with waiting lists etc. Thanks Meredith :D

That sounds like some year! I'm so glad everything turned out ok in Chicago, in spite of the horrible people at the hospital. It's very hard to live in America without insurance. If I didn't have it, I probably wouldn't leave the house! While in Denmark, where I studied abroad, when I hurt my knee, I went to the doctor's office, gave them my health/library/identity card and that was it. No payment, no insurance, no hassle. Then again, if you need surgery in Denmark, you could be waiting quite a while for it. Wow! That sounds like some year!
