So I got some good health insurance..... sort of

[FinalBossMatt]

I had a bit of a scare, and it was a bit of annoyance, that the insurance I signed up for, after coming back from Thailand August 1st, is going to start October 1st, not September 1st as I thought because I signed up for it at the end of August. If I contacted my friend about getting signed up at the beginning of August, then it would be good to go.

It became official yesterday THANK GOD.

Since I just moved back and don't have a big income I could have gotten Medicade but I need to be somewhere for 90 days to qualify for it, so that would mean I would have to wait until November 1st to do something about health. NO WAY SIR! Like I said in another thread, I don't have the luxury of waiting.

Although I had great medical care in Thailand, the insurance sucked. It feels good to have both.

I'm just a little anxious about getting my PSA score again. Abiratred kicked my PSA's ass big time when I first took it. It was a giant crash, but it slowly started going back up. I was taking one prednisone with it and doc said to try taking two. Doc said worst case if it still goes up, my cancer isn't that aggressive (Gleason 7), and I would be fine when I eventually get set up with someone.

I normally see my doc every 60 days. This will be 90. I'm pretty sure my PSA has either plateaued or crashed. At the same time though when I have pains in my body it fucking frightens me. The last time I got some nagging pain about a year ago was in my shoulders. It was in my rotator cuffs. I didn't think much of it because I've injured my rotator cuff before in my early 20's "heal like Wolverine" days and it took a few months to heal. When the pain spread, I found out this fucking thing was metastasizing again. That was embarrassing.

I have some pain in my left knee and in my thigh, it's just nagging. It's most likely a sprain and I can still logically think, "It's not a big deal," but the fear still stands.

Other than that, good times right?

Smart thinking . Don’t wait . Good job getting what you need NOW... I got a Dre the uro told me “you’ve got a giant prostate!” I knew I was screwd . I said “I don’t have insurance’‘..he said “ You had better get some”. so I did . I got the best blue cross blue shield that would pay 100% for rp which I then thought I would need . I was beyond surgery . The nice looking tech inserted a Foley and said “welcome to the golden years”I spent about $80 K out of pocket those first two years. But BCBS spent over $800k . Thanks bBCBS .. then I went in to undetectable mode ,spent my savings ,went on Ssdi and Medicaid . Four years so far . Do whatever you must to save yourself . Gl 7 is nothing to sneeze at ..I was only 4+4=8 Myself but went into k failure . I don’t play with pc . You are the final boss and you will push pc away with no mercy on it . Take care ..

Don't worry man, I don't mess around with this shit.

You’ve got to save your own ass in this pc affair. Whatever it takes ? Use that insurance . Cancer treatments are expensive . You can always drop it after your clear and go onto Medicare like I have . Happy labor day . Welcome home from Thailand 😎

That will be 20 years down the road for me, but I guess that's the plan.

Gracias Maestro! In 1980 I was 19 years old and at the cool jazz festival in In the Oakland Coliseum.Kool and the gang was the head liner and “celebration “ was the big hit of the day . A gang fight occurred on the baseball diamond and the crowd surged to flee the fight. Many got trampled . I Was then tall and strong and able to climb the green monster wall . Escaping the mayhem .. Many couldnt. It went from peace and love” we are family” sister sledge and “ celebration “to fleeing for safety .. ?? ahhhh the good ol days.? Now a days id be trampled by the crowd unable to scale anything rapidly .
