    I AM SORRY FOR WHAT YOUR GOING THRU. MY DAUGHTER JUST GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL AND I THINK THATS WHAT IT IS GOING TO TELL HER. SHE HAS A MENTAL DISORDER AND HAS HAD CANCER AND SHE DOESNT NEED THIS EITHER. I WILL HELP YOU LOOK FOR HELP IF I CAN REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE. I HATE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I AM ON LIMITED INCOME AND I HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR A COVERAGE, THEN CO PAY THEN MEDICINE..LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP SOMEHOW, WE CAN LOOK TOGETHER. DIXIE

    It is not right at all that they changed your Medicare part D without your consent. The cost of it is yours to pay and it's supposed to be your Rx plan choice. What BS they pulled on you. Fight the system on it. I'll help you if I can.

    Have you talked to your dr, told him you were having problems financially and asked for samples? Any public health clinics in the area you can go to for same (they get lots of samples). It is sad that in order for some folks to get help they need they have to wait and get real sick before the safety net is offered.

Journal Entry for January 31, 2009 Mood
Saturday, January 31, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

There comes a point in your life when you realize

who matters,

who never did,

who won't anymore...

and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,

there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future
