That is half 5 of my July collection: How I Spent the Home Proceeds.
As you all could keep in mind final December I signed up for bodily and dental insurance coverage that started January 1 of this 12 months. This protection contains my two youngest youngsters as properly.
The medical insurance has been used…a number of instances. I’m very glad I did it. And for the push by the BAD neighborhood to do it.
The dental insurance coverage, not a lot. It’s price me $41 monthly and has not been used, even as soon as. And never for lack of attempting. We haven’t been capable of finding a dentist inside a 30 mile radius of our tiny city or Princess’ condominium that will take it. And now we’ve tried in Texas as properly, no luck! So I’m cancelling it as of this month.
Medical Bills
I’ve acquired my typical medical bills lined in my month-to-month finances. So I’m not together with these right here. They’re already accounted for. These embrace my anti-depressant Lexapro and a wide range of dietary supplements I take regularly. And, after all, the insurance coverage protection which will likely be minimize by greater than half as soon as I cancel the dental protection that’s nugatory.
Chiropractor
First, after I most likely unwisely determined to drive straight by means of from GA to TX in mid-Could and spent 17 hours straight within the automotive with none correct relaxation. I ended up with a really tight neck and again. (I couldn’t automotive camp on that journey as my automotive was WAY, WAY full particularly with two canine versus my typical one.)
Chiropractic care has all the time been my go to. I had an awesome chiropractor in my tiny city. One of many issues I miss most. He charged me $45 per go to, all the time mounted what was fallacious, and didn’t require appointments. It was really easy.
After I wakened on my second day in Texas after my marathon drive, I knew I wanted to discover a chiropractor. For then and the long run.
Complete Spent: $190
Dentist
No dental insurance coverage shouldn’t be new for me. The youngsters and I’ve all gotten most of our dental care over time at dental and dental hygienist faculties. My dad and mom have achieved the identical for the final 10+ years that they’ve been right here in TX. And after struggling for five+ months to discover a dentist who would take my insurance coverage. I gave up.
I known as the dentistry faculty in San Antonio anticipating a month+ watch for an appointment. Nope, they acquired me within the subsequent week. I acquired a full 360 xray, a full set of particular person xrays, an intensive examination, and a deep cleansing.
Complete Spent: $206
I’m sort of unhappy about leaving my chiropractor in Georgia. If I had a automotive whereas I used to be there with Magnificence during the last couple of weeks, I positively would have made a visit to be seen. However fortunately, the chiropractor I’ve visited in Texas is first rate. Simply not the identical and prices extra and does require a appointment and does attempt to upsell me on all types of different issues. However after I’m determined, I’ll return.
Complete accounted for on this collection thusfar: $9,743. Extra to return…
