An interesting Day At the Doctors

Fiḍál (Grace), 12 Sharaf (Honor), 173 BE - Tuesday, January 10, 2017 AD about 4:32 PM Pacific Standard Time 

The good news is that I didn't gain any weight and I didn't lose any. I weighted the same as I did in December when I went to another doctor. My kidney function has changed so that's another piece of good news. The bad news is that when I went to pick up my prescriptions today they cost $3.30 each instead of $2.95. In addition to the rise in prescription prices, I also have co-pays when I go to a specialist. This means that any specialist I go to I have to pay a $10.00 co-pay. 

I know that doesn't sound like much, but when that's added to the extra $50.00 I  have to pay for rent that adds up. I know one thing, I'm probably not going to do this is have a podiatrist cut my toenails. I know they need cut, but I'm going to have to figure out a way to do it myself. I have to go to nephrologist (kidney doctor) and an optometrist because of medical conditions those doctors specialize in, but I don't necessarily have to go to a podiatrist. All though I will admit having a podiatrist cut my toenails is cheaper than having a pedicure which I don't think is necessary.
