as you guys know i'm on a fixed income well money is really tight .i had to use some of my morgage money to pay for the dr visit today.the dr tells me he needs me to sign a drug contract with him stating that he's the only dr i go to for my meds i say no problem .he then tells me i have to take a drug screen to make sure i'm takin the meds and that they are in my system and i'm not selling them i say no problem.i'm think the test is around 40.00 so i take the paper and go to the test place to take the test and the lady says you need to pay 426.70 before we go any further.i said are you crazy almost 500.00 for a drug screen. so i go back to the dr and tell them there is no way i can come up with that money.they said well your next visit is in 4 months so as long as you have it done before that day it's ok.now here's the catcher i only have 2 weeks meds left and they won't fill them until i take the test but by the time i can come up with the money i'll be out and there will be nuthing in my system??? i asked if i could just go to the place down the road that only charges like 40.00 they said they are gonna try to find a cheaper place and call me tomorrow.the past few months have been hard i have been in the negative instead of positive with money.and this month is even worst my solenoid went out in the transmission on my truck so new solenoids and filter and fluids ran me just under 200.00 then the day i get it on the road the map sensor goes bad thats 170.00 then i go to the dr pay 126.00 for the visit and they tell me i have to pay 426.00 for a drug test and if i was have taken it my meds are 130.00 a month. my house ote is 700.00 car insureance is 60.00 my light bill is 250.00 internet is 50.00 cell is 230.00 i don't even wanna get into how much credit cards payments are hottube bill is 136.00 "a must for my neck and back condition" water bill 30.00 and i get a whopping 2100.00 as income now i didn't add in food or fuel for my truck do the math .i'm in the minus every month i have to skip a bill here and there just to get food because i was turned down for food stamps they say i make to much??????????????????????jeeze i'm goin freakin crazy then they got this oboma care that says everyone has to get health insurance or pay a fine???i tried to find a job but everyone says i have to pass a physical and i can't because i have 6 ruptured disc and i have had two neck surgeries with plates and a huge metal cage in my neck. i sneak into the dump at night to pickup old batteries and a/c units to sell at the scrap yard but with the econemy everyone is selling scap so now thats hard to find too. i tried workin the street but the one customer i had she wanted her money back.lmao ok thats about it i feel a bit better now.like i tell the little ole lady at the store when she ask hows my day goin i say"well i woke up this morning and the sun was shining so i guess i can't complain because somewhere someplace there is someone that has it alot worst than me.
