Everyday I'm shuffling....

Had to go to court today regarding an unpaid medical bill. Supposedly now that we've been to court they'll be more accomodating regarding payments. Sure hope so! The last time I tried to talk payments with them they wanted $300 a payment. Why do bill collectors always think u have a spare $1000 hanging around in some bank account that u have chosen not to spend?
Don't know if it was the stress of going to court today, stress of the week, or just fatigue from the week but I'm really hurting tonight! Arms, ankles, feet and shoulders are all really hurting! Hopefully I can sleep without pain meds since I don't have many left. Disability is looking more and more like I might be applying for it!
