I posted recently here about how I was terminated from my job after telling HR that I needed a surgery. I got a lot of great advice, and I am meeting with a lawyer on Monday. However, shit just keeps getting worse.

Today, the state officially denied my unemployment. I plan to appeal. But from my research, this takes time.

My daughter’s dental work is still delayed. We went to the appointment and I found out that she has several cavities and will need her teeth capped. The estimate since she’s uninsured still? $5000. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. That’s not even including anesthesia, which would be billed separately. I finally got contacted by Medicaid and I am faxing them the document they requested shortly. But I have no idea if they even cover dental. Nobody can give me an answer.

I almost checked myself into a psych hospital the other day because my PCP won’t refill any of my medication, which I am now out of, without a med check. That is $150, which I don’t have. I am considering it again at this point, but who knows if they’d even take me since I’m uninsured.

40 job applications in so far and have gotten absolutely nothing back. Moral of the story, don’t fucking trust HR and definitely join a union.

I hope my next update will be with better news.
