geez, I have no idea how this works. some people wrote and I can't find it..sigh. Well, I just got back from a doctor who agreed to see me and he turned me away...as usual. I have too many problems. what the heck am I supposed to do when even the docs turn me away. THIS IS REALLY IT TODAY. AND THE COURT WON'T RESCHEDULE ME..REALLY NEED MY MEDS NOW. THE REST IS WHAT I WROTE THE OTHER DAY AND IT DIDN'T WORK..DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.WHY WOULD I BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING THAT WORKS????? Thanks for the advice! YEs, I get DIC..a pittance of $1067 a month when I have bills of over $2000 a month. My husband was killed on active 20 years ago. I am not entitled to medical benefits since I did get remarried and then divorced. They gave me back my DIC but not medical. I have not applied for SS (I never worked and really hate the government). I am trying to get to Panama but now will have a criminal record and just need $200 for the passport and a clean health record..right! I can afford to live in Panama and can be a resident with my pension (DIC). Yes, I have gone to the Salvation Army for help to no avail. I have hit every agency in town for help with no assisance. Not even the trustee's office can help. When I say I have exhausted every resource, I meant it! :( Yes, I went to the 'free' dental clinic also..sigh..all they want to do is PULL my teeth. I would rather have them saved which involves a root canal and crowns but that is only possible with thousands of dollars and a regular dentist, alas. Yes, that is why I am living on antibiotics. I have a perpetual infection from the tooth that needs a root canal. I was in the ER the other night from withdrawals from my meds and they said again that I had a temp. which means infection somewhere of course and it MUST be that tooth. I'm getting to the point where I do not want to live if it means living like this...sigh. And then the other day I get a supboena for something I DID NOT do and now have the stress of going to court to address this. WEll, that made everything worse of course. Within hours of getting the summons, I was vomiting blood from an ulcer, shaking, turned my neck wrong and pulled every muscle in my back. Guess I was just a bundle of tension. Anyway, thanks for the advice and letting me vent. Not sure where to go from here. I see no way to any possible light and this court thing is going to kill me. Life just sucks:( thanks again you guys!
