Recently, the great members of this board bailed me out of a monetary jam concerning my Dialysis medications. Just days later, I bought an Intellifex and foot controller from this board causing some concern from some members. I understand, and I need to explain:
The bill I needed to pay was for a "Spend Down" through Lewis County, NY. I am on a program to help with the cost of my meds. I pay a certain amount every month (sort of a co-pay), and they pay the rest.
I didn't have the money to pay two months worth of spend-down. They would only accept cash or a check . I have credit cards out the wazoo, but no cash. I suppose I could have taken a cash advance off a card, but at 20-something percent interest rate, that's just gonna kill me in the long run. So you Guys and Gals came to my rescue, thanks to Sully, and I was able to write an admittedly rubber check that will be good when they deposit it, and get my meds re-filled.
I bought the Intellifex with a credit card through Paypal. Again, if I could have used the card to pay my spend-down, I would have.
That looked pretty bad, I know. and I was aware of how it looked and thought about it before I agreed to the sale, but fact is I need it. I'm about to re-join the world of the working guitarist, so it's not like I just wanted it to wank in my bedroom. I'm needing to gear up, and at a really bad time.
Sorry for the rambling diatribe, but this has been bothering me, and I felt as if I needed to explain my actions.
