Where to begin?
Cues Carl Sagan "Billions and Billions of years ago..."Brother, AKA sibling #4, decided that the best way to teach me a lesson for daring to ask a question about mom's health care...in case you didn't read all the crap above I will say that the obvious explanation is that asking a question means that I feel HE is an idiot and a monster who doesn't care about mother...obviously...
I lost my train of thought...
Ah yes, the best way to punish me for asking a question, is to stop helping to pay for mom to be in the nursing home. And yes, he really taught me a lesson. He sure showed me good. What a guy.
just let's that sink in for a bit and provides elevator music during the intermissionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PYKOo_jgJoSO...Siblings #1, #2, #3, and #6 are scrambling to pick up the slack and I am told they will be able to cover it. Of course my money, such as it is, does not meet my own needs but they understand this is not possible for me and still keep my informed on what is happening, because unlike sibling #4, they understand that just because I do not pay money to take care of mom, it does not mean I do not care about her nor does it mean that I do not need to know what is being done to aid her. I guess that is indicative of something; perhaps mom and dad did manage to raise some children who are not total asswipes after all.
Fun Fact: Sibling #4 informs me that in Peru, he moved there with his wife you may recall, private care in the hospital does not exist. His/her uncle Leonardo is in the hospital with pneumonia and they have to pay for a nurse to tend to him. They can only afford...ha ha...to buy one for an 8 hour shift. So who knew? It seems that the USA does not have the worst health care system in the world. And no, Sibling #4 did not consult sibling #6 to see if he could afford to help pay for mom's health care. It was just dumped in their lap...CATCH!!! HAVE FUN WITH THE SHIT SAMMICH! LOVE YOU, MISS YOU, KTXBAI
And me? Well the online application process for signing up for medicade somehow merged my app with someone else and it got denied. Yeah, don't even understand. So now I am starting all over again with an old fashioned paper application because that will be much faster...30 days after submission...than getting an IT guy to unmerge the application and blah blah blah....
SO I have no money for my shots and blood work. I was approved retroactively for 3 months in the past but have no current coverage. At least it paid off the $17K overnight stay in the hospital that one night I recently had. But no treatment...until this all gets sorted out, with no guarantee I will be approved once it is sorted out.
I am ignoring the part where treatment in a timely fashion staves off permanent damage to my brain, I am sure that the 2-9 years I went undiagnosed will not factor in at all...because you know with dad having dementia and mom having Alzheimer Disease, I really do not have anything to worry about...it is preposterous to worry that the same thing might happen to me.
I am tired and going to bed now. Do take care!
