I feel no wisdom only pain

Damn....you are just having the worst luck! I can definitely relate to what you are going through. I had to get a crown on one of my teeth last week and insurance only covered half (which is better then nothing!). I had to come out of pocket $600. Luckily I found out that they take CareCredit so I was able to charge it. I'm sure you don't want another credit card but CareCredit is a card that you use for medical expenses (dental, health, vision, etc.). I think they offer no interest for 18 months. I signed up for it when I had Lasik done on my eyes last year. I charged about $2500 to it for my eyes and I was about half way finished paying it off. Now the balance has gone on because of my dental work so my minimum payment is going to go up to *SIGH*. I pay about $60/month. Anyhow, I'm sorry to hear that you are going through all of these medical issues. For the money you pay, the school should offer medical insurance. I have a friend that goes to UC Berkeley and they pay for everything!

I hope you feel better sweety. I'm sending good thoughts your way. Things are bound to get better. Hugs.
