Mission get better

Walmart has the best Myoplex price-4.87 for a pack of 4-vanilla, strawberry, chocolate or dark chocolate. I need 3 of these a day 6 days a week. 24 x 3 = 72 / 4 = 18-19 packs 18 x 4.87 = 87.66
Close to $90 a month for my Myoplex a month which is sooo worth it. I wonder if Sam's Club sells it and how much it sells it for.

I'm going to REST and eat saimin or soup all day along with drink lots of juice. I should go to Walmart and get some juice. They have the guava/pineapple and mango Welch juice for just $2 in cartons. I'm going to try making those mix soups I bought from Maceys last night too.

I can feel this stupid cold in my chest now. I wheeze with it. This is a stupid monster cold. I don't have a doctor here either. Maybe it's time for me to get one. I've gone almost 10 years without a regular doctor. When I had my brain injury in 1999 I was sooo sick of seeing doctors and then I didn't have insurance anyway. All of my bills were paid by workman's compensation since my brain injury happened when I was driving to St. George because I was working for the newspaper at the U. I complained sooo much about driving there so I'm sure many people felt horrible when they found out about my accident.

My dad was a contractor and it was cheaper for him to just pay for our medical expenses so it was never a big deal. Before my mission he paid cash for me to get my wisdom teeth removed and on my mission I was on the church's insurance.

When I worked at Overstock I was supposed to start getting insurance on June 1st. I broke my leg on Memorial Day at George's house in Provo and had to have surgery. The hospital had me fill out a bunch of forms but I didn't have insurance. An orthopedic surgeon followed up with me. The bill was outrageous but I got a letter from the hospital saying an anonymous donor took care of the bulk of the bill. There was still about $5000 left. My mother paid it for me.

I haven't really thought about it but I've been very lucky. I could be swimming in medical debt. Instead I made my own and had to declare bankruptcy. Why I had to get sick now when I'm all fired up to get physically fit again is annoying!!! I'll start again on Monday. In the meantime I can check Myoplex at Sam's Club.
