I just got a letter in the mail telling me that my s s ck has been cut from 630.00 to a little over 400.00 to pay Medicare. How the hell am I to save $ to get my cabin done?? I can't do like that & it's going to take me LONGER to get it done, I'm not very happy not 1 BIT. I need to call my ins person that put me on it & find out what he has to say BUT that will have to wait cause why? the HOLIDAYS, what the ?k else can happen? I'm glad I cut my hair yesterday. The Dr I saw yesterday, put me on colestrol meds, (80) mlg 1 a day & I just started them today, I had a short talk with a gas station person I know about giving him the case of sodas I have that I CAN'T have, just to get them out of the trailer to make space. He said to bring it & he'll take care of it what he does with it is on him I just need to get them out of here ASAP. I have 2 cartons of smokes that I have a friend that smokes the same brand I can give them to him, since I have to give up smoking, so SEE I'm working on getting better, taking my meds & doing my P T, & seeing all my appts. SO by April of 24 well see where I am from where I was from the hosp.

Thank you, I've been working really hard on making progress on my health & getting my cabin done & since I've been home from the hosp I'm seeing a lot of progress it's taken a while to get it drilled in husbands head BUT I think I succeeded in what I wanted to get done.

@just4him Some 1 was telling me about air frying I'm thinking that is another good way to cook for me.

I even got lucky & found me a microwave steamer to cook the foods I eat so THAT ought to be a help.

What they have done to you now is so WRONG!! As if you can afford that..you are already poverty stricken. What they are doing is taking your Medicare payments out of your SS or SSDI whichever you get. Now this is a mess for sure. They did that to me a good few years back and it was hell to get that reinstated. I had to call the QMB head for the State to get it fixed..

@jstory07 that's what I'm saying, I have the letter somewhere, when I got home from reading it I put it somewhere & now I can't find it. But when I find it I'll read it to you.
