Welcome to How I Save Money.
Mother is BACK in the hospital again. We went in for her to get a CT scan of her abdomen so they could check on the progress the chemotherapy is making when the doctor discovered a blood clot in her lung.
We were having lunch when they called and told us to come back to the hospital immediately so they they could admit her and get the blood thinners started. She is also having another CT scan to confirm that there are no more clots because the first scan only got the bottom of her lung. It was actually an error becuase they were supposed to stop on her stomach….but the tech went just a little bit too far.
Good News: The error doscovered the clot so now something can be done.
Bad News: The scan costs $4090 (yes I asked) so at two for the day we are over $8k in more bills. I am thinking they will do another one before releasing her to make sure the clot is gone.
Bills, bills, bills.
Wow. I’m really sorry to hear that, but glad they caught it soon. Hope that the chemo is going well at least.
Thank you Mrs. M.
The chemo has been working so far and her count is lower than it was before she started.
And we are grateful that at least an accident caught the clot now before it became more serious.
Sorry to hear that I wish you and your family the best.
Me and my family will keep you and your family in our prayers for a quick recovery.
Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers everyone. I am really stressed out now so knowing that you are all thinking about us REALLY helps.
I am really sorry to hear about your mother. I never know what I would do if my mom was in the hospital. It stinks that medical bills are so high. I’m in the position where I can’t afford health insurance.
I am happy that the problem was discovered, at least it can be helped.
