And you, too. Emergency rooms are awful even when they aren't crowded. But listen...about that bill...don't panic when you get it. Just make it a point to pay steadily towards it each month. No matter how much, if you keep up your payments 'in good faith,' they can't bug you about it. Oh...and keep a stock of Benadryl in the house! Oh, poor Audrey! And you, too.

Or to having parents with money. Still, better safe than sorry.
