Cheer arrives in the mail!

I got good news today. I went and got my mail and I had a friendly letter from the I.R.S. waiting for me. They say that I owe $794.00 from my tax returns from the tax year 2002. I had to liquidate my 401 K and when I filled out my taxes I filled out the proper form stating that I was disabled and that should have excempted me from the early withdrawl penatly. Federal taxes already had been withheld before I received the money. But, I guess old Uncle Sam doesn't agree with me on that one. I have until October 13th to reply and tell them that I disagree with them and send in the corresponding proof or I am in big trouble. I really don't know what they could do to me since I am as about as poor as you can get. But, I always try to stay off the radar and hopefully will get this straightened out as soon as possible!

I went and filled out my paperwork at the pain doctor and I have my appointment set up for September 29th. I also had to stop by the family doctor's office to have them fax the referral form over to the pain doctor's office which they were suppose to do 3 weeks ago. My family doctor has tried to help me out by prescribing Vicodin for the pain, but, my disease has progressed past the Vicodin stage. I was taking Morphine and Methadone just a few months ago before i stopped going to the previous pain doctor and Vicodin is quite a step down from those drugs. But she was trying and some pain medication is better than none. I don't like to take Vicodin anyway because it makes me nauseated and you should eat something when you take it. I just don't eat that much. Most days I only eat 1 time a day and it is hard to force yourself to eat when you are not hungry!
