Mad enough to SPIT!

Oct 07, 2010

My knees have healed rather well from having all the ligaments replaced, my body has recouped from weight loss... and working very hard at the gym and pool....skin is not really an issue (well accept belly,butt and thighs)    anyhow....  for some time now my legs have been getting cramps in them... and at first I ignored it...probably lack of potassium many told me... so I would  try to up that some...but it got worse....  my foot would even drag sometimes and I really had to think to make it work correctly.... 

Middle of August I hurt my back... for about 3 weeks I was in great pain... but suck it up and all that... my back got better... but my legs still cramp especially the right one... So I finally broke down and went to Dr... she sent me to neurologists.... who poked my leg so hard with a toothpick that it actually bled....  she said.. I have what is called foot drop, can be from nerve damage because after losing alot of weight this nerve on out side of knee is exposed and could be stretched or damaged  (GREAT MORE KNEE STUFF) 

or.....  drum roll please.....  problem with disc in my back....  and need back surgery.... now understand I went to the Dr expecting...eat this or do that and instead I'm told I may need MORE SURGERY...I am sooo tired of healing and surgeries...I let her schedule it and go home....(she forgot to give me script for some foot thing Im suppose to wear... 

Then today the hospital calls me....to get info....well so they say...what htey wanted was money...the cost.... see that's the kicker.....  My part of the insurance bill.... just for the MRI....$950....  $100 up front and then payments... I paid the $100 and told  them very clearly I don't have the money for payments.. .she said oh don't worry they will set it up for you at $50 a month or so....  WHAT PART DID SHE NOT UNDERSTAND......  She said I had not met my deductable and I dont know if tests and drs are seperate but if not then I would have thought I would be covered...but I dont know and too stressed to think about how to even begin to look it up.....  So.. since I cant eat when I'm stressed.... I'm gonna go to the gym.... and then I'm gonna try to think of another way to solve all this....  I'm not going in debt for a dumb test that will come back and tell  me that's not the problem or that it IS the problem and yet I'm no  better off..... If Im paying 900 for the test...how in the world am I gonna pay for surgery.... MY TURN IS OVER..... I CAN NOT do more stress....   going to gym  .....just keep swimming
