I don't want to say this, gosh darn it, but I swore I would stay honest on this tribe about my heatlh. gosh darn it....
okay, no more swearing, Lucy, just spit this out.
I have no health insurance.. long story... basically, I HAD health insurance, when hubby and I lived apartt. I moved up here to live with him, and so he could take care of me, and since he is a successful working man, I no longer qualified for the State Insurance. And, the health plan at his former place of employment was ridiculous!! completely too expensive for us!
So, we have just been living, and I take care of myself in my own way. We pay FULL moeny for all my meds, and that has been extremely expensive.
But, a couple of weekends ago, my guys were gone, I was alone, and I started to feel physically very weird. I had the worst shooting pains in both arms, and started to vomit and black out... when I came to, I was still upright, but the radiating pains in my arms were extreme. I drove myself to the Urgent Care Center, to avoid getting an ambulance bill... and you know how it goes, they called the ambulance for me anyway, and rushed me to the ER. shit.
So, it appears that I had a heart attack, and they don't really know for sure, since I checked myself out and did not stay overnight in the hospital for more tests, like they wanted.
So, hubby is totally freaked out, and the dr. was pulling out his hair, and yet.. there is not a dang thing to do about it. Most health plans do not cover pre existing conditions, esp. cancer... but he works at a new place, and in a few months, we should be eligible for the new plan. We have to see if I can be covered or not.
So, that's it, folks. I said it, so no one can say I kept this a secret, in case bad news rolls down the road.
As I said before, I am going to live my life all the way, full tilt, and that includes making long term plans. If I don't meet them, by gosh, at least I've tried and have had goals to achieve.
I love being alive, I like it here a lot, however... I feel that I'm in a good place mentally and spiritually, if I have to leave suddenly. I wish I could get to more events, but we have so much going on up here and as soon as things move along, I promise to share all of my plans and successes with all of you... and it's so nice up here in Cottonwood, and I exercise and practice my dancing, so the ole ticker can stay strong.
