I don't ever pay for it in the first place. I just send them a copy of the bill that the hospital is requesting, and they add funds to a copay assist credit card to pay for it that way. It only has funds after they add them to it. Then it's back to a zero balance once more.

We don’t pay any more (new jobs, better insurance, and they switched us to a generic), the nice thing was it counted toward out of pocket expense as far as the insurance company was concerned so we hit the max a month into the year.

welp months of cardio seems to be helping, my latest ejection fraction test puts me at 55%. I was <40% 6 months ago. Healthy is 50-60 with a top end for athletes around 70%.

but honestly raking fucking leaves is the best work out and I credit that with my recovery and i'll fight anyone who says otherwise

welp gotta take the good with the bad I suppose. Facts of life.

just got back from hemo and my blood numbers have fucking tanked (hemoglobin, iron, and ferrotin? stored iron) and I need to do more IV iron infusions and double my iron intake to get my numbers back up. It's looking like my hemo is recovering (it wasn't too low) but i definitely lost a bunch of blood over the last 3 months and my body used up all the stored up iron to replace it.

So while my heart is recovering and able to pump blood more efficiently that blood that it's pumping has been carrying less oxygen so it's kinda a wash which explains why i'm getting winded and my heart rate has been so high doing strenuous activities. It's not at the level where it was but i gotta get this surgery to fix this leaky blood vessel in my abdomen asap, this shit is annoying.
