I had posted in mildlyinfuriating a few months ago about my bill for the ambulance ride to the hospital ride after I was shot by unknown individuals while I was inside a home. A little background, at least three people, possibly teenagers shot into a house I was at from their car. I was standing inside, infront of the door at the kitchen eating holiday cookies and was hit in both thighs. No one has been arrested and police have no idea why they did it other than it may have been a initiation or mistaken address.

Well I finally received the bill for the treatment I received at the hospital. I broke down when I opened it. I can't cover it nor the monthly payments they offered. Nothing has been easy since the shooting. It's been one battle after another.

My wife has been out of work and in outpatient therapy treatment for two months now. The sessions are all day three days a week. The shooting and the PTSD from it uncovered a lot of buried childhood trauma and caused her to have a mental breakdown. She's been through so much abuse as a child that I'm surprised she was able to function for so long. We have had to fight tooth and nail to get insurance to help with it and for her short term disability cover her paychecks. The sessions are 500 a day and her insurance is no longer covering it, so I have no clue how we are paying for those as well.

I keep waiting for things to get better. Yes I'm alive and very grateful for it. But I'm tired, angry and depressed. I'm applying for crime victim assistance through my state but it could take up to 6 months or longer to get anything.
