Cancer? Well, I spent a year of my life doing cancer recovery. They cut out about 1/3rd of my colon, and on Friday I go in for some more tests and scans.
But here’s the fun part. I was unable to work for that whole year due to having a tube hooked up to my chest which pumped drugs that were meant to kill cells inside my body. There’s a such thing as micro cancers. They aren’t cancer yet, but they freely float in your bloodstream after you do something like major surgery. Such as cutting out a portion of your colon.
So while in recovery, they give you these little statements. Sheets of paper, that say “This is not a bill”, and then shows you the cost of all the stuff you got charged. But it’s insurance paying for it, not you. Well, my insurance was Medicaid, because I had $0 income. In a 3 month period, my services cost over 1 million dollars.
Now, because I’m working again, and because my Grandma passed away and left an inheritance, I’m probably losing my free health care. I looked at plans, and the cheapest is $300 per month.
I make like $1500 per month total. My rent is $800, and will be increasing by AT LEAST $100 in July.
So right now, I may be cancer free, but, it’s one of those things where it REALLY doesn’t feel like it. I’m just screaming waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Do you still have it?
