Free1, Welcome to PC.

I'm so sorry you're having a rough time right now . Are you talking with the hospitals and letting them know your situation?

Will those things just go away on their own? I don't know.

Can one just learn to live with it and go on? I don't know that either but I suspect it depends on how one define's 'live'.

Applying for charity benefits through the hospital may take care of most of the hospital bill *and* it might provide you with connections to other sources of help or resources for getting help. Talk to everyone you can so those who like to help know you are out there.

Also, some counties provide rides to appointments for those on medical assistance, if that's an option for you.

I hope you will be okay. Keep posting and let us know how you are.
