Jumping Through Hoops

Wow it's amazing how fast time flies when you are jumping through hoops for the government. First it was the job fair, then its networking per their suggestion, then its required meetings in another city nearby, then it's charity work for my resume per their suggestion, after that it's testing for school. Oh yeah, they decided I should go back to school so I needed to take aptitude testing.

I did better than I expected. Can you believe I have been a bookkeeper/accountant type most of my adult life and my lowest scores were in MATH? I never did get the hang of algebra in school. Apparently I'm doing better now than when I was last in school since I don't need remedial algebra anymore.

Next disappointment was, that I currently don't qualify for the new Badger Care Program till MARCH of next year even though they told me I would qualify for July. (You have to have been without insurance for 12 months.) So here I am after trying to get the whole drug/blood work issue figured out.

I have an appointment tomorrow to go to a clinic. I think I have 3 days of medication left unless I skip back to the lower dosage for a few days to stretch it out. Maybe I will do that tonight and take the higher dose in the morning, go to the appointment, and see what they have to say. Then I can decide which dose to take tomorrow night.

I'm also investigating free drug programs, but because I've been taking generic for so long I am dealing with obscure companies. I just can't believe how long all this takes! I have gotten some reductions from my local pharmacy. I'm also getting one at Walmart since my pharmacy can't get down to the Walmart price for that drug (since its below their cost).

Its very frustrating!
