No Co-Pay

I’ve been sick for well over a year now — hospital stays, ER visits, endless doctor appointments, CAT scans, bloodwork, stool samples (because nothing says “fun” like those), and what feels like every medication on the planet. Every time I thought I was getting closer to answers, it turned into another round of tests and “let’s try this next.”

My mom finally stepped in — thank God for nurses who know how to get things done — and somehow got a $5,000 medication ordered for free with a zero copay after the doctor signed off on it. I started it yesterday, and it’s already killing my stomach… but I’m crossing my fingers it works.

Here’s to surviving the next 10 days and maybe, just maybe, finally feeling human again. 🤞💊
