My hospital bill showed up last night. As you probably already know, on May 29th after two days of extreme (and increasing) pain, I went to the ER. Though I have a day job, it does not offer me medical insurance. I was in the ER from about 5pm until about 6am the next morning….
Month: June 2011
Briefly
So far they think Love’s dad has gallstones. They also found his heartbeat is irregular, so they’re going to use a defibrillator to try to jump it back in rhythm. Love came home this evening and as far as I know, his dad is staying at least overnight in the hospital. Hopefully, we’ll know more…
Rough Day
Woke up about an hour after falling asleep last night in really severe pain in my stomach and abdomen. Was able to get back to sleep though and it was better when I woke up but, at that point, I had a really miserable headache/migraine. Been that way all day. Tried to list a few…
Weekend Update
It’s kinda been a busy weekend and I was getting ready to go to bed but not quite tired enough to sleep yet so I thought I’d spend a few minutes writing up an update. Friday I finally had my much belated birthday lunch with my Mom and sister. They were out in Vegas for…
Where It All Began
This is the wristband I wore in the hospital. I had an ER one prior to this but this is the one they changed it to when I was admitted. This is why I’m working so hard to raise awareness and the funds for my surgery. And, as of next Friday when it’s payday again,…
Officially Down To One Income
Well, I had wanted to get back to work for a couple weeks while on the Lupron, (to earn some income of course!) but my work will not allow me to return without a doctor’s note stating I am 100% cleared for ALL my duties and my FULL schedule. Obviously I can’t say that right…
Shot Day 1
So I had the Lupron shot yesterday and I thought I’d update how it’s going so far. This entry may be a little TMI but seeing as I’m talking about my uterus on a daily basis these days, really, I think I already left modesty pretty far behind. *chuckles* First, in order get the shot,…
Post Appointment Update
Lots to cover so hopefully, this will make sense. Shot First, I got the shot. I only got a 1 month shot instead of the three month shot. (I thought he said two but I was on Valium at the time so I must have misheard.) I was really concerned about the side effects and…
Nervous
I’m really scared about tomorrow’s appointment. I’ve already broke down crying twice today. *sigh* I’m just so afraid of what this shot is going to do to me. I have no way of knowing how I’m going to be feeling for the next two months and that’s just so terrifying. What if I’m miserable and…
Dreams of Normalcy
Yesterday we ran a few errands – nothing exciting, just like the post office and library, that sort of thing. It was the first time I’ve been up and about and out of the house doing something other than doctor’s appointments since this all started. It was nice to just be out for a little…
Big Surgery Updates
I just got home and I’m exhausted from (a) not sleeping last night and (b) the Valium I had to take because of the painfulness of today’s procedures. I’m going to give a quick sum but there’s so much to get into sorry if this doesn’t make sense or if I leave things out. First,…
In Office Update
When you shock the ultrasound tech with how bad your uterus is thats not a great sign. Still have biopsy to go. not good day. Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Post Appointment Updates
Ok so I had my appointment with the doctor today. I’m feeling a little better about things because now we’re actually moving forward and I’m not just hanging out here in limbo. First, today we did some of the pre-op tests that need doing like a PAP. Tomorrow, I have to come back for a…
Denied
I had a voicemail today saying I am denied my Medicaid claim (wow, one day? That’s fast) because I’m not pregnant, don’t have kids and am not disabled. Yeah, I knew it but I tried anyway. So absurd. So have a cute picture of my cat, Gracie, sleeping on my pillow instead: I need to…
Frustrating
Spent the whole day on the phone and online looking up other options/suggestions/leads. Even filled out an application for Medicare but I know it won’t matter. Besides the fact it’s 30-45 day for a reply, you also have to list everyone in the household and all their assets (including their vehicles and such) to count…
