I am a single mom of two amazing boys. One is in college and the other is in middle school. I have, unexpectedly, been out of work for about a week and a half and am expected to be out of work for one more week. Unfortunately, I only had enough time to cover a little over two days of that. This is all due to a large kidney stone, which is now stuck in my ureter, which in turn is causing severe swelling of my left kidney due to the blockage. The most painful thing ever that I wouldn’t wish on anybody. Needless to say, this brings unexpected medical expenses. I have a $5000 deductible with my insurance. Of that amount, I have maybe met about $500 of, as I am fairly healthy and rarely have to see the doctor for anything. Once the deductible is met, I am still responsible for 20%. I have already had one ER visit due to this which included a CT scan. Now, I am scheduled for Lithotripsy next week. I do not have the bill from the ER yet and have not been given an amount for next week’s procedure. However, between the two, I am sure I will be expected to pay atleast $5000 out of pocket. Being a single mom, with one in college, we already basically live paycheck to paycheck. Now, I am losing two weeks worth of pay from work on top of these unexpected medical bills. This has me very stressed out. It is Christmas time, and here I am, unsure how I am gonna get all my regular bills paid and how I am gonna pay for these medical bills….. I cannot even think about Christmas. Which, of course, breaks my heart. But as long as I can spend the holidays with my boys, we will be okay as far as Christmas is concerned….and my boys will understand.
I have never been one to ask for help, as I have always been very independent. However, I know that I really need some help right now.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated! If there is anything left after paying the medical bills, it will be used towards paying my regular bills that still need to be paid. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!❤
Update: just found out I have to pay almost $3000 out of pocket before my procedure on Wednesday ?
