Health clinic

Yesterday I went to the student health clinic at LCC. It was a good appointment in that I got everything addressed. I have plantar fasciitis on my left foot.

But although we covered everything, it was not magic. One really important thing, however, I was introduced to a website that I want to introduce you to:

needymeds.com

I have to fill out applications for each company that makes each of my medications, then return to the clinic for an appointment with a specialist at turning them in to the various pharmaceutical companies. Most will supply 1-3 months at a time of free medication, then I will have to re-apply. They don’t make it easy, but it is possible to get your medications if you can’t afford them, or so I’m told.

In other news, I found a job to apply for! It is a research assistant position, federally funded and part-time with health benefits! How cool, eh? I am also over-qualified. I’m excited to be turning in an application.

Today I’ve been sleeping. I’ve been sick for over a week and the exhaustion has finally set in. I can barely wake myself up to get up and go back to bed. Some siblings might remember the game “wake up, it’s time to go to bed” with varying levels of fondness.

Another game they might like: wake up it’s time to go to bed. I think I’ll play that next.
