I paid a couple of hospital bills today (haven't actually received the bill yet but I knew that they were coming). I decided to start a list of the bills and when I pay them as it's something that you don't want to get behind on. The health insurance portal isn't that useful - it puts in amounts that you're responsible for but it doesn't include amounts that you may have paid at the time of the service. So my approach has been to call the places that I've been to see if I owe them anything. It seems to take them a while to get bills in the mail.
On another note, this morning, when I woke up, I noticed that a lot of my anxiety was gone. I also get the feeling that my senses are slightly less sensitive than before. That is I don't feel aches and pains quite as sharply and maybe a little less sharp in hearing and vision. It's fine for daily functioning and I can think normally but maybe these are effects from the Xeloda. I was able to sleep quite nicely last night - perhaps due to the lower level of anxiety.
Of course this might just be my imagination too.
