2012 Medical Expenses

I finally got all our receipts and EOB's (Explanation of Benefits)

 compiled into the "2012 Medical Expenses" binder.  

It's a 3 1/2 inch heavy duty binder. 

 I held it down in the first picture, and it was 6 inches tall.  

That's just crazy!  

(How cute is that boy that photo bombed the picture though?)

I had to hold my hand on the side of the binder in the second picture or it kept sliding open.  

It was that full!  

Anyways, it measured about 8 inches tall.

And in case you're wondering how that calculated for our pocketbooks ...

Let's just put it this way ...

We paid more in out-of-pocket medical expenses in 2012 

than I made my entire first year working as a Juvenile Probation Officer.
