Jim -

Understand what you mean about default mode hyper-vigilance. This too shall pass. Right now the only thing you have to worry about is what level of tax withholding to elect on the back-pay award - someone from the SSA will be in touch with you - and whether Suzy wants to purchase private supplemental insurance on top of the basic Medicare coverage. At least according to what I heard from my agent, it's one area where they don't discriminate on account of pre-existing conditions and some of the coverage is quite good. Don't know about long-term care coverage, but it would be worth checking out.

"Problems" like this have to be welcome. N'est pas?
