Being sick is expensive

April 10th, 2006 at 02:10 pm

The worst part of being sick is how much it ends up costing us. We don't pay anything fo rthe scripts the doctor has written Thank God, there are 4 to date and will be at least 3 or 4 more today. We are paying a mint for OTC stuff that only helps mask symptoms for a bit. We are on our 5th bottle of orange liquid and only because when I saw how much we were using I stopped taking it!! We have bought three different kinds of pills and at least two or three pediatric medicines since this started 2 weeks ago. The really bad part is I am not cooking as much as I should. I give in when DH wants to go get a pizza or go out. He is trying to save me work and I appreciate it but we are killing our budget this week.
I finally took three huge bags of clothes to the goodwill of stuff he won't wear and I don't need anymore since I never expect to be a "professional" again.

    I can attest to the fact that being sick is expensive. Lost wages from extra work are a killer for me. Our insurance is expensive but neccessary. Over the counter meds can be a budget buster given how exopensive these remedies have become over the years. For colds I stick to Vicks and generic acetaminophin. I hope everyone is well soon!

    Prevention is the key to me. Reduce the chance of it happening again. Stop germs in their tracks. Rule #1. Wash your hands often (more than a doctor). . . Get well soon Smile
