I've been on Mastodon a little over two years, but I've never done an Introduction, so in keeping with the tone of driveinsaturday.org, an intro:

We have about $600 in breathing room even with the huge prescription spike, and you don't know how relieved I am. I went from "I can get by wihtout groceries for two weeks" to "I can get groceries and maybe some ice cream to finish off my vacation.

AFTER THREE MONTHS MY CREDIT CARD GOT UNLOCKED.

I have an extra $325 for this week, just when I needed it. Not gonna touch it if I can (I'm trying to clear out those cards) but holy cow.

Spent the evening in VR chatting with friends. Hadn't done that in a LONG time. IT's sad that it took 12 days of catching up for me to enjoy the last three days of my 15 day vacation.

Looks like we're going to weather Prescript-storm 2025. Tightly, but doable. But holy cow, tomorrow's prescription bill is going to be $756.22.

The bad news: One of my other medications now has a $500 price tag per month.

The good news: It's the same issue, I need to order a three month supply, to get it back down to the covered prices.

The bad news: I now have two medications that, every three months, will cost me $500 each.

The good news: I have enough of that second medication to hold me over one month, so at least I'm not paying $1200 on Friday for meds. And that will stagger that $1000 out over two months.

But holy cow.

Still hating the American Healthcare System with the fury of a thousand suns.
