A couple of weeks ago I was hospitalized for acute diverticulitis - the first episode I ever had. I was unaware that I even had the condition. It was bad enough that I was on morphine for three days…

Well, my stay was for five days and I wasn't thinking about the cost at the time. All I could focus on was getting the pain to stop and the infection to go away.

Two weeks later, I'm getting those wonderful medical bills in the mail and I feel like vomiting every time I think about what I owe. Needless to say, the Camaro fund I've been saving for is gone. I'm glad I had it to put towards my debt, but it still sucks!

It sucks even more that my 'Maro fund is just a drop in the bucket for what I owe. Thankfully I have insurance through my work, or I would be unable to see an end in sight. This really frightens me because I haven't had an unexpected hospitalization with this insurance plan and I am a Type 1 diabetic. It's been years since I was hospitalized for anything diabetes related, but I'm now terrified of something requiring another hospital stay.

*sigh*


Thanks for letting me vent. I know that it was necessary to be in the hospital, but facing debt is horrible - just horrible…
