The only luck I've ever had with home warranty kind of things is Minnegasco Service Plus (or whatver Minnegasco calls itself now.)

For a nominal monthly fee on my gas bill, it covers all my appliances with no out of pocket for repairs and a good price on replacements if the item is unrepairable. If my furnace stops working at 2AM, I'll have a tech at my house by 3AM and they will keep working the problem until it's fixed. They just repaired my 80's dryer without question and without any trouble. I'm thinking about calling them just to look at my furnace just for fun. They're great.

I had a home warranty on my first house from the builder. They had an easy solution to honoring the warranty. They declared bankruptcy and skipped the state. Apparently they'd done that before. I'm glad I sold that place before real problems started showing up. Other houses in my development had significant problems with drainage and grading.

They also "forgot" to put gutters on all the houses. I never got that one recouped.

I hope you are getting treated for depression- it’s super super common after heart surgery, even in people not already dealing with it. Also, many of the meds they likely have you on can lower libido and make you tired and blah. I hope they also have you in cardiac and pulmonary rehab?

I love how everyone rips on the home warranty... Got one free on an older home, had to use it several times to address issues with the heat pump, $50 out of pocket each time was really nice.

Of course, if you have savings discipline then most insurance is a bad idea, you're gambling that you will have more covered expenses than the premiums... that's what insurance is.

Yeah.

I got some physio on the NHS where I went to the hospital once or twice a week. The main thing is I did it every single day without fail, often twice a day, to restore range of motion etc as best I could. I was 6 weeks non weight bearing which didn't help.

I broke my leg end of 2016 so I don't have a physio any more but I still do the exercises when Legbert starts arsing around again.
