To the tune of an extra 81 CAD a month to assist in the purchase of more veggies, fruit and "low-glycemic" grains!

I'll be reviewed next November to see if i need it again. (Diabetes is Permanent but a "BMI" of 45--hopefully--will not be.)

At least for the next year I won't have to worry too much about running out of money for groceries in the middle of the month (and for the last 2 weeks) as I can reserve some money to use after the 14th of every month.

I can now run my veggies over 2 weeks instead of 4 which gives me more freedom to choose things and reduce wastage.

Plus I may be able to afford a gym membership now too.

...I won't do that though till i know my budget better in the new year.


I see my first payment on the 30^th.

I've wrote about applying for it before to help with diet and money issues so it finally came to pass this week. My Dr signed it on my birthday and I turned it in on the 17^th. I just read the confirmation message from my worker today--on the "online self service module" ODSP has for us.
