so this week has been bad bad bad for me because last year i had this problem with my eye that i had to go to the ER for one weekend. i am from canada and had travel medical, and so off we went and they did this and that and voila, a bill for $6000. ouch! ultimately the eye was fine btw, but when i submitted the bills to the insurance co, they said my policy was no good and refused to pay.
ouch!! ouch ouch!
so i have sent the hospital a few payments, but this last week they sent it to collections. and THIS has kept me up nights worrying.
$6000 is not the end of the world, but it isn't exactly something dh and i can easily scrape together! they aren't interested in a monthly payment plan either, it is all now, or they go after my bank account and everything i own (which amounts to a hill of beans).
anyway i didn't want to tell my dad because i didn't want him to think i was asking him for money (he has been so great with this baby coming and everything), but i did want his advice about it - so i have been weighing how to broach it with him. finally i mentioned it to him and the first thing he did was drop a cheque in the mail so i wouldn't worry.
greatest dad in the world. and all i can do is cry because he is being so great.
sorry, i know it isnt' super pregnancy related, but i have been SO stressed about this, and then knowing how stressed i am and stressing more because i worry about how the stress affects the baby etc..
