I can't believe it was a week ago that my left ankle buckled and I fell, because mentally, due to the car situation, it's felt like weeks ago, even though I am still wearing the ankle brace for walks. Weirdly, the right knee I bruised badly in that fall hurts again now, even though the swelling has gone and the marks have faded to yellow-green.
Thursday I contacted Center for Independence of the Disabled, NY (CID-NY) to ask if I could get Medicaid to pay for taxis to my doctors or if my benefits situation would prevent me from buying a used car without losing said benefits. (Me trying to figure out a possible budget for how much I could afford in a car isn't going well because I don't know what I'm doing and my head is doing its February thing of killing me, which also hampers my thinking. Tonight I'm also having pain in my hands and feeling weak.) To my amazement, I got immediate calls back asking for information on my situation and was told someone with the knowledge would call me. Given how fast all of this happened, I thought someone would call me Friday. I was wrong. I don't have a phone number for said person so I have to wait. Of course my car would choose to die right before President's Day weekend, when a lot of people leave early on the Friday and have Monday off.
I looked into my credit card debt and credit score. My credit score is very good, while my debt situation is better than it has been in a few years but definitely not great. My available credit is good but....
It'd also be nice to know if another stimulus check is coming and how much it would be.
I'm sure my father thinks I should be getting more done because he says he needs to know what kind of cars to look for at the supposedly less crooked used car lots of Long Island and I get that but it's not happening.
I had a pain management appointment for Monday in Syosset, Long Island I really needed to get to but no longer can due to my car situation. Syosset is 21 miles from my home. I informed them of my troubles and supposedly they won't charge me for not showing up and they will get my doctor to call me and hopefully get me the refills I need.
One good and somewhat funny thing that happened today was going out for a walk and having a vehicle pull up to hand me a package of mine as I was locking the front door.
