Good luck with the interview, Erin!
DEENA! It's so good to see you! I'm glad you're feeling a little better.
Well, task one was a mess. I called this morning to make sure that I had all of the paperwork I needed to bring in to sign up for MassHealth and Free Care. Get here, and of course I don't have everything. And the things that I need? They'll probably take several weeks to get after I request them.
I'm so frustrated by all of this. I'm doing everything I can to be responsible and make sure there is no lapse in health coverage, but it looks like it's just not gonna happen right. And then what do I do when I'm faced with $1300 in prescriptions? I can't just go off the stuff. That would be far worse. But I also don't even make that much a month. Damn it. I'm sitting here in the computer room at the hospital with tears running down my face. I think I'm gonna go try to get some food and soda to see if I can get myself calmed down enough to go to therapy.
Oh, P-C. What a sweetie pie she is. How old is she?
Thanks! I have a pretty kick-ass intro to poetry lesson. I'm gonna throw a sock at 'em, and make 'em taste salt, and....
whew. I gotta go. INterview at 11.
I'll let you know how it goes!
Good luck Erin!
I hope the health care situation works out vw.
When does your coverage run out, vw? Can you get your doctor to prescribe extra so that you can cover the extra time? I had a doc once who would prescribe 40 mg tabs of something on the understanding that I would actually cut them in half, so one month supply actually lasted two months.
vw, after you've calmed down, maybe on another day when you feel up to it, ask about hardship help or emergency assistance--there's got to be something, somewhere, that would cover the time between one ending and the other starting.

My coverage runs out on July 10, which is coming up VERY quickly. And no, my doctor won't do that with my meds. I'm lucky he gives me a month's worth. See, I have this tendency of threatening to OD, so no extra meds for Val.
Interview-ma to vw's mother and Erin. As well as general-ma for vw.

That's what Free Care is supposed to be. But there's just so much damn red tape that I can't seem to cut through.
Oh dear. I wish I had some advice, vw, but all I have is sympathy. THere's a lot of that, though.
P-C, your sister (and brother, from what I remember of stuff you've posted before) is top notch
