The colonoscopy is over.

Well, the colonoscopy is over, and everything looked good. On the down side, my Doctor told me that while I was undergoing the test, my heart was acting up, so now I have to see a Cardiologist. My Doctor isn't to worried, because as soon as the test was over, my heart was fine again, so he thinks it was just a result of the test, but I still have to get it checked out.

This isn't going to be a fun week!

Back in July I was in the Hospital for 2 1/2 weeks with Diverticulitis. This Thursday I have to have a colonoscopy. From now until Thursday, I'm only allowed clear foods and liquids. Oh what fun!

How was I going to come up with the money??

A month ago I had to go to the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks. Well I just got a bill from the hospital for $1500 that I wasn't expecting! I don't have $1500 just sitting around, so I started getting really worried about how I was going to come up with the money.

I checked my BCBS statement to find out what hadn't been paid for, and it indicated that none of the Doctors bills were paid for during the second week I was in the hospital, but the first week and the last week was paid for. I called BCBS (the person on the phone was very helpful!) and was told that the insurance forms indicated I was home during the second week (someone filled out the insurance forms wrong!). The person from BCBS told me to have the Doctors office resubmit the paperwork for the insurance, and that everything will be covered.

I was a sick sick boy!

I was in the hospital from July 28 until August 14 with a bad case of Diverticulitis. I am doing much better now, and on August 25 I was able to return to work.

While reading through Sun's BigAdmin, I've found a few good links that are going to help me on my current Solaris 10 project, and I thought I would share what I found.

• How to Upgrade the Solaris 10 OS With Non-global Zones Using Solaris Live Upgrade

• Configuration Management and Quality Assurance Script

• Derived Jumpstart Profile

• Creating a Script for Scheduled MySQL Backups

• Automating Unmirror and Remirror for Solaris Volume Manager Volumes

IT Toolbox

I really have to get less of a life (so that I can start writing about the little life I really have). One thing that is new is that I've just joined IT Toolbox. (You can see my profile here). IT Toolbox is a place where IT professionals can work together to make everyone's work a bit better. At least that is the hope, and the reason I joined. Time will tell!
