Our friend, Fineena is still coping with difficult circumstances. I first wrote about her situation here.
She could still use a little more of our help. Her latest email explains:
I still have continuing health problems steming from my broken tooth that sent me to the hospital. I have been so sick with nausea & fatigue, a terrible cough & more infections since I came home that we've had to delay the actual pulling of the tooth. Now I have an appointment tomorrow morning with an oral surgeon. I having it done with a local rather than sedation because it's about $700 cheaper. Dentists are my greatest fear & I certainly hate pain but that's way too much money difference. It will cost $403. I just had $45 in prescriptions filled yesterday that he wrote me to use after the proceure & that was the very last of my funds.
You all were very kind to help me when I was in the hospital but between presciptions (geez, inhalers are expensive), over the counter meds, visits to my primary physician (following up on the infection & focusing on my COPD) & a preliminary visit to the oral surgeon, it's spent. I haven't been able to make anything new for my Etsy shop so not much going on there to bring in money since it's all wool.
My primary doctor is helping me get accepted into a "care ring" for doctors that will see me on scale because I have to see a pulmonary specialist desperately for my COPD. Plus there are some tests that need to be done otherwise including a follow up PET scan on the growth in my lung from last year. However, that is slow moving to say the least so whatever needs to be done has to be paid for by me or it's delayed until I get accepted. I cancelled an appointment this week with my primary physician for a follow up. There is nothing out there for dental services.
I am not eligible for Medicaid right now unless I can get declared disabled. That is part of the process I'm going through with my COPD but still have some doctors to see & more tests to take. NC did not accept the funds from Obamacare.
So I hate to ask again but I've got to get this tooth pulled before the infection comes back. Any & all help appreciated. It may not seem like that much money to some people but it's a fortune to me not to mention that there are bills to pay & food to buy & 2 wonderful pups to love & care for.
Many thanks,
Karen (fineena)
