So.... the good the bad the depressing.
I met with the surgeon today. Well I met with a resident and then with surgeon. Nice guy (bad reviews online).
They both feel that this MIGHT help, and that they hope it does. Apparently 70% of people get relief from their gall bladder symptoms. So I'll be in that 70%..... eventually. (I'm determined)
My new “state health insurance” does not cover the doctor OR the surgery. This means I have to pay cash for it.
(this is where it gets ugly).
Doctor wants a $375 deposit... for surgery (keyword. Deposit).
Hospital wants at LEAST $500 deposit. (again. Keyword. Deposit.)
I could have had surgery as soon as this Monday... but no. I don't have $875. sigh.
I don't even have $290 for June rent. I have food stamps so I have food. I need money for test strips and to fix my cavity. ($5 each thanks to insurance)
In talking to the people... it's like they have … no concept. I'm like “I don't have $375!” “Well we'll put on on will call... give us a call when you have the money” …...
I am so tired of this stuff. Yeah it's not a guarantee that it'll fix me... but ANYTHING will help.
I had hope and now I don't.
I've had a ton of interviews... but even if I had a job I'd have to take 5-10 days off to heal... and then what? Ugh.
On the upside (this is me trying to adjust my attitude). I've had three job interviews in two days. I have one tomorrow. I feel ok/meh about two of the three and good about one.
How will I get this money? Priorities. But …
ugh.
