Most of you know about my health problems and my recent hospital stay. Well, the bills have come in. Four of them so far. While Medicare paid "most" of them, I'm still left with well over a thousand to pay myself, and some of these want payment in full, like right now. Of course, they won't get it because I'm broke. I'm always broke near the end of the month, and when do they bill or call? Near the end of the month. I'm currently looking into other options, like Medicaid, but I was told back when I first got approved for Medicare that I can't have Medicaid because I get too much from Social Security. Well, if living in poverty is "too much" then I guess I do. After paying bills, I'm left with less than half of what I get every month, and then most of that goes to pay for groceries, meds, gas, and other things. Tavi does his best to help with commission after commission, even when he has computer problem after computer problem. He's a sweety that way.

On top of all that, today I get a call from the billing department of my old doctor back in GA, saying that I still owe nearly $300 to them and haven't paid. Even though I arranged for monthly payments back in October, but they never sent a bill, or at least I never got one. They won't listen to that though, and just threaten to delete my account with my doctor. So I guess I can't go back there again. Not that I planned to, I just need to find a better doctor here that accepts Medicare. It shouldn't be that hard to do, but it is. It seems like the only doctors that accept Medicare, even when that's all you have, are the ones in clinics. So I guess I'm stuck with what I've got for now. So much for putting the patient first, its all about money to them. Get in, get out, and pay. Its not enough for Medicare or other insurance to pay most of the bill, if you owe them a nickel, they want it and they want it now.

Thankfully, a friend, and a big hearted one at that, made a journal to help me by having others commission him.  dragoan is offering to do commissions, but with sending me the money for it. I hate asking for money, but he volunteered without my asking, and I really appreciate that. You can check out his journal here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3194123/

I'm not going to ask for money, since its such a large amount, and there's just no way I could afford it, even with donations, but every little bit helps. So, if anyone wants to donate to help, you can by clicking this link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs.....ton_id=7005898

If you can't donate or anything, you can spread the word about Dragoan's journal if you want. Also, any commissions from Tavi always help at any time. Thank you all for reading and your help. *HUGS*
