jeweledvixenYesterday, I ate the last of the chicken I had. I was down to no food at all. I had also run out of three of my meds a few days ago. So I went to Wal Mart and wrote them a check dated for tomorrow, the 3rd (when my disability check gets deposited in my checking account). I also had to get gas and I paid for that with a check dated for the 3rd. I am hoping they don't get put through the system until tomorrow. But at least now I have food and my meds.
My doctor and I had discussed me having a nutrition consult with the dietician at the medical care complex where her office is. The dietician called me and I have an appointment to see her next month. But I needed to call my insurance and see if it was covered and if there was a co-pay. Hallelujah! It's covered with NO co-pay! I know I've lost weight this month since I haven't eaten nearly as much as I usually do, so I hope she can give me some tips to keep it up, and some simple meal ideas. I'm not a cook at all and right now, my back hurts too much to stand up for long. I need to lose at least 100 pounds. I'll feel better about myself, my knees and back won't hurt as much and my breathing will be much better. So, wish me luck.
Oh, and I was lucky enough to get one of the new carts in Wal Mart and it took me all over the store with no problem and no crapping out on me. :D
