OMG!!!!

I just did some figuring on my finances and I am shocked!!! Help!

I have two months worth of money left to run my household and live with the current cost of my medications.

I have got to do something. The prescription discount card I have is awful. I am sorry to say but I am going to have to stop some of my meds and decrease some others.

The percocet I take costs $259.00 for 180 10/325 pills. 1-6 per day allowed and I usually take all 6.
The Robaxin 750mg I am allowed 3 a day and 90 pills a month costs something like $70.00
The Morphine Sulphate 30 mgs 3 xdaily or 90 a month costs $125.79
The Valium 5 mgs 20 a month casts $4.54 a month.

I think when I see the PM on July 7th I think thats the date, I am going to have to tell him I can no longer afford the robaxin and will stop taking it. I just called in the refill for it but I am not picking it up. I just can't afford it.

I am going to cut back the percocet to 3 a day. The I am going to ask for an increase in the Valium because it is the cheapest thing I am taking and it does help.

All these prescription costs are not even including the other meds I take like the Trazadone and my Estradiol etc.

This is so scary. I can't believe this is happening. I mean I knew it was coming but I just geuss I did not realize or want to realize the volume of the problem.

There goes any visits for the gastro doc because that is not covered by my insurance. Or any other stuff.
Talk about stress and making the pain go up. I swear my life is going to come to a screaching halt. I will not drive anywear unless I absolutley have to, not with these gas prices.

I just can't believe this on top of all the pain and struggles. Friday could not get here fast enough! I hope the neuro can get me on the schedule ASAP.

My attorney is waiting on my Neuro to give him a written letter of his dictations of the neuro's assessment on the upcoming surgery and what he thinks the future treatments or surgeries will later be needed. Even the things that might need to be done years from now. For example more fusion above or below the one he will do soon.
Once the attorney has this he can pursue the process of trying to make a settlement.
Do you thin it is inappropriate to ask my Neuro if he has done this letter yet and if not can he work on getting it to the attorney ASAP. Or should I ask the attorney to ask the neuro to hurry up with the statement?

My pain level is through the roof and i need to go lay down. I will check in...in the morning.

So sad and now very concerned on top of the pain.
I know I have to trust that God will take care of me, but first I need to process what I just figured out and let it sinl in.
