Prescription and costs... forever!!

I just got an email from the Financial Advisor with the University of Nebraska Medical Center. I have learned the cost of medication I will have to take for the rest of my life. I learned that you can't miss these pills. I have learned that I will have to take each of these everyday, forever, for always. I guess I better get used to having a "schedule". Crap... there goes my "footloose and free lifestyle!"

I know that I have insurance, but take a look at the cost of these medications. What?? I guess I have not paid close enough attention in the past. I feel bad for all the people who don't have healthcare, or friends willing to help and donate. So once again, thank you very much in advance!!!

For example, medication that i will have to take F O R E V E R cost 1,177.70 a month w/out insurance. For me, it will cost 100.00 a month until the end of time, or until i run out of "lifetime coverage" with my insurance company. Could you imagine? using up 2 million dollars in a lifetime?? Wow. Other medication costs include a pill that costs, 99.70, and that is the generic brand and if they don't have a generic pill, we are looking at over 300.00 a month. And about 15 pills at 10.00 each bottle. Do the math... that is over 256.73 a month... forget about the hospital charges.

I feel like i am beating a dead horse here, but crap, this won't be done with the kidney is placed in me. I will still have a lifetime of changes and "new normals" i will have to get used to. I guess people shouldn't sweat small things... life could be much worse!!

I guess the hospital can tell I am in "panic" mode. I call a lot during the week and beg them not to send me to collections. I call the nurses and ask if the skin on my belly should be itching so much. I ask if I am coughing and sneezing should i go to an ER to make sure my port isn't infected. I used to not care about all this stuff. I used to laugh at people who "overreacted"... look at me, I am a freak of nature!! AHHH!! (big smile)... I have always been a freak of nature... now I just have something specific to blame it on!
