My gallbladder....

How I hate thee.....I had an attack tonight. Pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Sorry for TMI. I laid down and woke up feeling better. I just ate something. I need to have my gallbladder removed. I have Medicaid, BUT....I have no income right now. If I don't find work, I could very well be homeless. As it is, I am on the edge. So, basically I have to suffer until my situation changes. I just feel hopeless about everything right now.

Have you tried Medicare? Give them a call. Are there any free clinics in your area? Look online for your area. You'd be surprised. Good luck. Check out State disability, but get a lawyer cause if you try on your own they prob reject you. If have worked anytime in your life, you should try.

I would have to have the big incision. They told me I have too much scar tissue (I had appendix cancer in 2007 and had four abdominal surgeries in 16 Months). They said I would be in the hospital a week or maybe longer. I just don't know what to do. I feel like my life has become overwhelming.

Can you see a medical social worker over this? If hospitalized for surgery you are eligible for State disability which is 80% of your salary. Can you check into this to get treatment? Does your doctor feel this is urgent and should be done? That being the case can he plug you into a medical social worker?
