Getting patient assistance for paying for me meds (that run over $1200/month) was a challenge in the past......so I was holding my breath as financially, I am not in a good place at all.

Stupidly, I had not bothered applying before as I thought the refinance of the California house would go through & then I wouldn't qualify because there would be money for the donut hole cost of $4050 + that I have to pay each year with the part D for prescriptions. Well, when the refi didn't go through, I was already into having to pay for the whole med cost each month. I got the paperwork in immediately & had to get the form to my pain specialist also to fill out his part. I got that taken care of & faxed it into them.....called to find out if they got it & found that I hadn't signed something that needed to be signed...of course, they couldn't have called me???? So I signed it & faxed that immdeiately. I gave them a week to look it over....then called them when they suggested, only to find out that there was another form I had to fill our that they had faxed to my pain specialist to have me sign. Well, I had just been into my Dr office just before I called them & they hadn't given me any form that needed filled out. This was about 4:30pm & they were closing at 5 for the memorial weekend. I had them fax the form to the library where I do all my faxing.....I drove there & got the form....signed it & faxed it back at 5:04pm.

I called them at 9:30am this morning immediately after they opened & asked it they got the form...& asked when I would know if I qualified.....they said that was all they needed was that form to be filled out & I WAS QUALIFIED!!!!! Yahoo.....that is worth at least 2000.

Now I can pay my propane bill as it is due by the end of this month. I turned off the pilot light to my furnace....feel like I am saving $100's/month by doing that. It's nice to feel as through I am saving money as it makes me feel as if I am earning a bit by saving...not that there isn't already a lot of money due that I have to put that savings toward......

But it feels good to get these things taken care of.....as when I was around my husband, I was too destracted to get anything accomplished like this.

It's interesting how God takes care of us.....especially when we are honest about other things.....as I received a check for a credit on one of my accounts that I hadn't done any business with for oner a year, so knew that was a mistake.....sent the check back. Then, the check for the insurance money that covered what was stolen out of my truck....they made a mistake & exactly doubled the amount that I was supposed to get....cause I knew there was a $1000 deductible.....I called them & sent that check back to get corrected. I ended up getting more than that back with the patient assistance......so I know that God is taking care of me.

At least good things are finally happening.
