Unhappy One good day one bad

I am about ready to just give up on life itself here today.
I get a letter from the welfare office saying that I didn't hand in my paperwork back in September and yes I did. I take it there and hand it to them to keep this crap from happening. I even have it in my palm my reminder of the day I dropped it off. I called and let a message with my case worker but God knows how long that will take and I do have the right to appeal and I will. And it may put off my shut down long enough to have my surgery. Now the paper says that if I appeal and I lose then I have to pay the state back for what they paid out but I don't now if that means there payout to the ins company that seems what it mean. Why does this stuff happen to me. I really am ready to throw in the towel today.. I feel so sick I think I am going to be puking most of the day. I usually don't ask for prayers but I need them this time.
This includes my older daughter too she is on my ins and that means neither of us can get our meds. So its so much more then my my surgery. God please I cant take much more of this..

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I am so sorry to hear about your problems with Medicaid. Believe me I have had my share of experiences with them. In fact I am going through crap with them right now. I pray for you and your daughter that you get/keep your insurance. Due to idiotic complications with them I haven't had my meds in 6 months and my kids have no health insurance. Be strong, have faith, and God will take care of the rest. ((((HUGS))))

I'm sooooooo sorry. Dealing with the government can be a nightmare! Hopefully you'll here good news from your case worker soon. We'll be praying for you...

I think what you got was a form letter they send to anyone whom they think didnt send in there paper work. Breathe sweetie. Your having a Vickie day. You have did what you can do now let them figure it all out. Keep calling your case worker daily until you get a response. Hugs.
