Medical Bills

If you come here to read my funny stories of family, you may not want to read this post. This is something very hard for me to write and it is my life right now.

The medical bills are coming. I have this lovely appointment with a specialist on the 11th of May and I am not sure how in the world to pay for it. We have had to live and that required buying food and such. We have dug into that money so much that we are almost out. By the time we pay my car repair bills, I won't have near the amount they told me to have for just the initial visit. (No, my car is not done yet...maybe by tomorrow, who knows.) Anyhow, with this mounting scare, I am at a complete loss. We are some of those working lower middle class Americans that just do not qualify for any help. If we wait and put me on my husband's insurance, it will be another year or so before I can get in to the specialist. We can't wait that long. I would never make it. We would also lose a lot of money in the process that we count on for income. We may not have a choice though. I may have to be added on over the summer open enrollment. Right now I need to figure out where to get the rest of the money, or most of it for this initial visit in 6 and a half weeks. I can only figure up a way to get about half of what they said to have. Half. Yes, that is still alot of money, but half is not going to work. I need to have all of it, so they can get me diagnosed (or re-diagnosed) and get this show on the road. I live with daily pain and it takes a toll on anyone who has to live with it on a daily basis. I have listed things for sale that I never dreamed I would sell, just to try and raise some of this money. I am not sure what else to do. I guess this is more a vent of frustration that we may not be able to keep my much needed doctor's appointment. I don't know what it is, but surely there is something that someone can do. I need this appointment.

I guess all I can ask is that if you are a praying person, please pray that God steps in and intervenes. I don't see how it will happen any other way. We need a substantial amount of money to make this appointment work. That's all. Sorry to be so down, but this is hard for me. Thanks for any and all prayers. God bless.

UPDATE: Please continue to pray. I am better now and not so discouraged, but please continue to pray that God provides the needed means to make this doctor's appointment happen. Thank you all.
