Bird, Plane? No! It's Indigent Man!

We got it. And the kind lady made it retroactive to August 1, so ALL the medical bills will be covered, even the $1200 ambulance bill. Submit them (bills) to her by the 25th of every month and the coverage will roll over to the next month. So I can have chemo in Austin, possibly with Dr. Loukas as my oncologist, at his clinic. If not, the Shivers cancer center. But it's one or the other & the state of Texas will pay all bills. And there's a tremendous drug discount, and she threw in food stamps since neither one of us are in all that great shape, to put it mildly.

I'm grateful, relieved ... and feel a bit guilty about receiving public assistance. I'm a bit surprised by that. Later.
