SO, my previously mentioned update on the meds and the means to pay for them.
Once again, I want to thank everyone who helped spread the word or pitched in. We got a few retweets, & a donation of $20. Thank you, kind anonymous person - we got 3 generic refills with that money.
I had cash saved for meds, but not enough for everything without insurance prices, so we only picked up our gender meds & our sanity meds - mostly skipping the pain meds, & making do with the Advil we had at home. We finagled, we split doses, and we made it to our next paychecks.
We were able to come to a deal with Cigna - we’d pay their higher rates thru Dec, then switch to a new company come Jan.
I never said it was a good deal.
But at least now we are fully medicated. Our new company covers gender surgery, so we’re looking forward to jumping thru their hoops for the next couple of years, but I least I have hope for the future!
As to my other post: I did research today, and found a place where I could post long blog/story-type messages without people having to sign in to read them. It was… Dreamwidth. Yes, the site I call my home site on my bio is the site I’ve been looking for. Which inspired this mental exchange:
(Enter Glinda the Good Witch)
GLINDA: You've always had the power to post anything you write freely, where anyone can read, without any cost or logins.
ME: I have? Then why didn't you tell me before?
GLINDA: Because you wouldn't have believed me. You had to learn it for yourself.
ME: (pause)
ME: Someone should drop a house on your ass.

SO, basic issues solved, life goes on. But one more thing…
As I’ve said, I’m staying on Twitter until the end. But some of the situations I’ve experienced here are making me re-think my expectations, my results & my relationship with this site - but that’s a subject for a blog-type post, at another time. Thanks for reading! ☮️ ➡️
