I called Medicare, my health insurance company, and a counseling group. none of them would cover me for BP meds or Insulin for one month. Oh well, I tried.

Call emergency assistance with the local or county welfare offices

Try your local (county, regional) diabetes support group. American Diabetes Association or such like. --FLO--

I hope you can hold on until Monday. I just dropped something in the mail to you. No much, but a bit to help. Watch to make sure your neighbor in the front house don't hold on to your mail.

Catholic Social Services can also help. Hell you look like a monk anyway.

I'd be an odd-looking monk as I only sport half a moustache. I kept the left side shaved because the hair aggravates the Shingles. I'll call Catholic Social Services right now.

I called the county, city, diabetes association, Medi-care, and other organizations. None could cover one vial of insulin. They all had programs to help cover some of the cost but it took weeks to set up.

Getting old (with diabetes) ain't for sissies

Perhaps, Mr. Wolf, you should go ahead to set up one of the programs to help your cost of regular insulin supplies. --FLO--

Maybe you're right (said in my best Scot accent)

Thanks to a recent windfall, I have my BP meds, Insulin, my saline nose spray and a sack of potatoes.

Hooray, my small check arrived so I can go buy groceries

Wetherman was missing from chat for three days. He returned today. He had emergency heart surgery and now needs lots of rest.

The Mormon missionaries came by to see me today and brought me a present - Yay, I now have reading glasses.

I was all ready to catch a bus to go grocery shopping when I realized it was Memorial Day and there was no bus service today - Duh

Reminds me of getting up and getting for school, and realizing (when the bus never showed up) that it was a holiday or something.

I used to like chatting with him and we were not to far away from each other. He was never interested in meeting but who can blame him who reads my posts. I wish him well.

A nurse came by to see me and said my apartment was too dirty. Yesterday my landlord and friends came by and cleaned it up. It's spotless now

Hooray, my blood sugar was 119 - that's good for me

Send them my way. Place is a pit.

You taking any insulin pills?

You taking any insulin pills?

Nope, one injection in the stomach every morning. Grrrrr I hate needles.

The month just improved: Brother Doyle, one of my Mormon friends, gave me enough to get my insulin and $6.50 worth of groceries. Along with finding a $10 bill, I bought a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, a pack of beef bologna and a pack of beef hot dogs. I'm good for another week. Woohoo

Time Warner is here to hook me up - hooray

I'm hooked (up)

I'm glad to see you old friend
