I hope your endocrinologist can see you when needed without it breaking the bank.

Ya know, I think you are absolutely right. It's like there is no one there making me be accountable for myself so I just kind of slosh it all off.

The money issue is hard for sure. I'm applying for assistance through a program specifically set up by the local hospital (and others in the state) to help folks who don't have insurance. Of course, I need to jump through hoops to get the paperwork filled out properly since my job is exempt from taxes being paid and some agencies recognize that compensation as Difficulty of Care and some agencies don't care LOL. I get kind of stuck with this stuff and I honestly don't know why. Maybe I don't feel I deserve it? I don't know.

No matter what, I do need to see the endo and I will. I figure it this way, I can only pay them so much per month and what the heck, I can't take it with me so they are welcome to it.

Thanks hon!
Thanks for this!
