Financial blues

Well, I'm going through some financial blues... thank God my family is really helping me out. I have a meeting with SSI Thursday, I hope something productive comes from that... and I'm still getting the run-around from MediCAL but I hope to have that resolved within a couple months (knock on wood), but in the meantime money's real tight, trying not to bounce checks. Looking at my budget it looks like I'm going to have to stop taking all my vitamins and nutritional supplements and what not that the doctor has me on, they're costing me like three hundred bucks a month! Even after shopping around for the best price. I'll keep taking what I have left until it runs out, and further hope that after I run out of the stuff that I don't have any problems. Maybe once I get all my disability benefits from the government it'll help me out enough that I can afford the stuff again. I've trimmed everything else out of my budget that I can, I'll just have to get by without them for a while.

My dad and I had a good meeting with my therapist today too, I really appreciate that my family is willing to work with me on this and attend some of my sessions, I really believe in the teamwork approach and giving my family a chance to meet with my doctors and therapist and such so they can better understand things. It really helps a lot to have a supportive team behind me.
