Finally made the last payment on installment plan for my medical needs

I basically gave up my life savings to pay for my mom’s caregiving needs, and as a result, I’ve had to make payments to the Boulder Community Hospital for the last ~24 months on an installment plan for my own medical needs. Today — ten months after I last lived in Colorado — I finally made the last payment on that installment plan.

(Part of me feels like there should be a little celebration for this, but for today, a larger part of me isn’t feeling any joy.)
