Managed to get a month of colestipol filled and picked up. It cost me $30 I couldn't afford, but at least it wasn't $50 I couldn't afford? Greatest health care system in the world, right? Pfizer gets their money, I get a one month reprieve and nothing is solved in the long term. At least my stomach is starting to get back to normal.

Speaking about long term, something's gotta give financially. Either my former employer has got to stop fighting giving me unemployment (They're on the hook for a couple grand at this point.), SSI/SSDI becomes a immediately viable option, I win the lottery, or I get good, close and stable employment (That is not hard labor, because, you know, blood clots?) very soon.

If I can get some regular cash flow coming in, I can at least try and address some of these health issues. Just an aside, I've had more than one person this past week tell me the old pre-Obamacare canard, "Just go to the ER if you don't have insurance!" The ER plugs holes. They don't manage chronic ailments. If a chronic ailment (like say blood clots in the brain) becomes a "hole" to plug, the cost of treatment just became exponentially higher. Stroke treatment and rehabilitation is more expensive than an MRI and some statins, but one wonders, is this a bug or a feature? I know this: It's not long term thinking.

I have a big packet from the law firm I'm exploring SSI/SSDI with. I'm going to open it up and go over it with them on the phone. I'm also going to see if I can something for my cat's stomach. She been puking more often lately. Apart from the hairballs, no other signs of distress. She's older, so I'm going to see about special diets, and any extras I can giver her to calm her stomach. I have a therapy appointment, where (Story of my life nowadays) I've got to talk finances. Basically, figure out an arrangement where I can keep seeing him and he gets some portion of money. Finally, the lawn. I've been putting it off, but if I let it grow any further, I won't be able to address it. I just have to decide how to do that. Fun day.
