more medical headaches

So earlier this summer I was supposed to get a dental procedure done to recorrect my smile which as it stems right now includes a gap where due to my cleft lip and palate a tooth never grew in. Well I had been meeting with my dentist and the surgereon who was going to be performing the procedures.  The procedure included the removal of my front 4 teeth then inserting a temporary tendure into the gap until my gums and mouth had healed the removing the denture and putting 4 new replacement teeth into those places.
  Well we had been getting ready for that procedure but it had to be put on hold due to the inability of my family to be able to pay the financial end of it.  So with my ability to stay on my parents policy up when I turn 25 in october I filled out and submitted forms for vermont medicaid  and was accepted so I know am still covered till my birthday if not longer due to the possibility of having to have to get a insulin pump prescribed to me. 
 However, I am not sure if either the dentist that I have been seeing for mostly my entire life will accept vt medicaid or even if the surgeon will accept it. Then the other issue is if they don't could there be a dentist that does or a surgeon that will.  Plus financially how would I be able to pay for it with my dental plan currently not allowing a lot of money for dental work could there be a coorperation that i could contact that might be willing to lend me the money to make up the difference? ( could that be project smile which does a lot of work with kids/maybe adults who were born with cleft lip/palates which I was born with and have had multiple procedures on) could they or would they consider being willing to help?
 All I know is that I have a lot of health issues that are starting to creep up and I need to "put the hammer down" and try and prevent as much future damage as I can) but I cant do it alone I just dont know what to do ???

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring.  Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be.  Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do.  I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best.    One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...

What a LIFE

So let me think I haven't updated this since late november and quite a lot has happened.. I got myself a new kitten after the death of my 17 year old one and she is quite a handful but worth every second that I am with her.. her name is mitzvah or mitzy ( it means blessing in hebrew) but pretty much after bringing her home as part of my family my cat of 9 years quickly became sick and on december 6 after already been brought to the vet and told that he was just very sick and given a shot and to give him time to heal and recover I had to take him to an emergency vet. Sadly he didn't make it and died in my arms * the third cat in the past 4 months to die in my arms) SO yeah that was quite a shock..  So beside dealing with a lot of the pain and hurt from that I have been turning most of my attention towards work. I have worked at borders for just over a month and I love it! I LOVE the people the atmosphere everything.. and I don't really mind the hours I have had to wake up at...

A New Year, A New Me?

So with it now being 2021, My hope is that things will start to get better, ( like most everyone else). I have continued to struggle with some of the same issues, that I had in previous years, mostly my health (physical, mental/emotional being the main two.  A lot of the health issues are due to my diabetes, which this September will be 21 years that I was diagnosed.  It has been a roller coaster over these past two decades, but I am always doing my best to maintain as good “control” as I can. However, it continues to be a frustrating situation, especially when there is so much disconnect between doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and of course the biggest brick wall ever, the Insurance Company.   While I was living back in Vermont, I was truly lucky to have some of the best health care that was available to me at the time.  However, since moving to Florida, eight years ago this July, I have found that its a constant battle to be able to not only get my insulin covered, b...
