Finally!!
Well, I got a large Fed Ex envelope in the mail today. I opened it to find a copay assistance mastercard for Benlysta. It is about F***ING time something went my way. I scheduled shipment of the medication and it should be here in a day or two. As soon as I get it I will schedule the appointment for my first infusion. Fingers crossed!!
I spent the day today online researching careers for disabled nurses. I don't know which direction to go in. Should I go back to school for a master's degree in something nursing or should I change careers all together? Should I just stay home and try to collect what is rightfully owed to me for working my life away? All I know is that my checking account is at $120 and I still have a week and a half before I get another disability check from the insurance check. My mortgage is late. My car payment is late. But, at least my kids have food in their tummies!! So stressed out. Is this change going to cost me my home? What should I do?
