Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005Good News!
I finally got all my back disability payments from my employer's insurance company. So all the bills are paid and I have the money for June's rent. I even went to the Dollar Store today and had a good time! I got lots of stuff for the kitchen and around the apartment and only blew $20 plus tax :-) I feel SO much better now that all the bills are paid and I know when I flip the light switch the light will come on :) Next week I'm going to get the oil changed in the car and get it washed. The very first thing I did was to fill the tank with gas as I had been only able to put a few dollars here and there into the tank for the past two months. So now my car is happy and so am I :-)) Hugsies, Carole :) > I finally got all my back disability payments from my employer's > insurance company.

SignatureAF "Non Sequitur U has a really, really lousy debate team." --artyw raises the bar on rec.sport.baseball wonderful news, carole! and a long time coming. i'm glad for you. diane This is so good to hear. One of my mother's best friends was married to the man who invented the Dollar General Store. The boys still own them. Was that the same company as I thought they were only in the south. I always buy my washcloths and hair towels there as I don't like fat washcloths. And we can get puzzles for Spencer for under a dollar a piece.

(_<_) Carole, that is indeed good news. I know that when I have been worrried about finances, I am just miserable. I can only imagine how hard it has been for you to have that along with your health problems. Am so thankful it came through.

I also love the dollar store shopping. It is so nice to get things at times for so cheap. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

My body is still doing weird things as to when it wants to sleep, but at least when I do, the nightmares have stopped. And I can now answer the phone without having to worry about it being someone to call and tell me that something was going to be shut off. Now I just have to start saving again as all my savings are gone. I'm hoping to hear from social security soon too and then I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing with the rest of my life. Hugs, Carole Yeah!!! i love hearing that finally there is going to be a stable income for you! btw, depending upon your income level, you might now also qualify for reduced electricty and water and gas bills. also, do check into pharmaceutical prescription relief, from the manufacturers of the drugs you need and use---you might qualify for those, too. you've been in such chaotic financial stress and distress for so long, this stability is going to go a long way in helping you feel better physically. this is such good news for you! i'm happy for you. <smiling> and doing a ((((((((((happy dance)))))))))))) for you. kate > Thanks everyone :) And yes, I am sleeping better now. My body is still > doing weird things as to when it wants to sleep, but at least when I do, [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Hugs, > Carole Thanks Kate. I'd do a happy dance but I can't dance anymore...too tiring :) But I did have a good time paying all the bills last Friday. I still have to get to DSHS and find out if I have to pay back the assistance they gave me and the food stamps, but I've had a bad cold this week so I'll go next week. To say my life has been chaos is an understatement. I actually ended up going to a psychologist because of all of this. I was not sleeping and having horrible nightmares when I did sleep. I still have my medical and prescription coverage from my job so I'm OK on those. Once I get approved for SSDI and go on that, I will look into prescription programs. My cardiologist is very good about giving me samples of the two expensive ones so that's a big help. I get too much to qualify for reduced electricity, but I do get reduced phone. So every little bit helps. I just hope I can still do all of it once I go on SSDI. My car loan will be paid off next April so I just have to make it through then. I'm also going to be looking for a cheaper apartment next year. I had to sign my lease here for another year as I don't have the money to move right now, nor the energy. But I figure in another year, I can throw stuff out a little at a time and I'll start looking for something less expensive next April/May. I want to stay in this area since I like my cardiologist and I wouldn't want to start over with another one. The hospital I'm near is also one of the best for cardiology, so I don't want to venture too far away from this area.

I have been reading your posts and sending empathetic thoughts but should put them in writing too. Unless you have ESP! Good wishes from Ontario. --- Joan > Carole, your life is starting to come back together a little bit at a time.

Good wishes from Ontario. > --- > Joan Thanks Joan :) I was talking to a neighbor yesterday and she said "Geez, your life has been hell since you moved out here." I kind of laughed as although it's true, I'm still happier out here than I was in NYC. At least I have my mountains, lakes, trees and oft times blue skies. And the sky when it's blue here, it's MUCH bluer than in NYC. And at night I get stars :)) Carole :) > Thanks Joan :) I was talking to a neighbor yesterday and she said "Geez, > your life has been hell since you moved out here."

There were real advantages to living in Boston when we were there, but I'd start feeling so claustrophobic after a while and the pollution and dirt....... well, we agreed it might be nice if we had the funds to live in one of the nearer suburbs and go in for lots of the "Arts" stuff, but I'm so much happier, ultimately, in the country, even as isolated as we are in our current location. I need outdoor scenery around me, and I don't just mean in a city park!
