A lady who works in the admin part of our local clinic helped me apply for financial aid for one of my insulins. It cost $112 a vial and they're kinda small. Well,after 3 months she called me and said I'd been approved. I hurried over there and had 10 vials waiting for me...$1120 of medicine for free. I almost danced in the waiting room.  BounceGiggle

Glad for you.  it's nice to hear that someone (lady from Admin at clinic) went out of her way to help you.  That's rare nowadays.

It sure is! Before my heart surgery I was on Metformin but the surgery made my blood sugar go way up then way down. It obviously needed more help. Wink

I'm mildly diabetic, so I only need to take pills rather than insulin.  But I know how expensive healthcare can be.  Between my heart and diabetes, I need various prescriptions, doctor appointments, and blood tests throughout the year.  Plus, my health insurance plan isn't as good this year as it was last year.  Suddenly, I'm getting bills for between $100 and $175 for blood tests that were covered 100% by my insurance plan last year.  Also, my wife had her thyroid removed a few years ago, so she has medical issues and prescriptions related to that.  Her blood tests are also no longer 100% covered.  Glad to hear you got some financial assistance for your insulin.  Stay healthy!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
