I just got lugged a $500 bill for pathology for the biposies they took/analyzed during the gastroscopy 😯

OMG! Was that extra to the estimate of costs before the op? Am really sorry to hear. How long have you got to find the money? @outlander

So glad your feeling better @NatureLover maybe you just had to get out in nature for abit 😏

Yes, nature, and I crave the sun (SAD).

I'm glad it's not too hot for you there - 18 sounds nice.

Re: not coping

No the estimated cost was only the hospital fees @NatureLover
The specialist and anaethetist bulk billed (which saved around $1000) but this is pathology for any samples the specialist took on the day. He took quite a few so im guessing thats why the bill is so high. Medicare will pay about $120 back but i have to pay for it first or i have to see if i can claim online and get a cheque sent out which i will then take into the pathology office to put towards payment.

This pathology centre is usually pretty good with not pestering people for money as long as they are making regular payments towards the bill so i will start doing that next week.

Ah yes i know about SAD im glad that being out in the sun is quite helpful for that. Im abit opposite, i actually get more SAD symptoms in summer when its really hot. 🤷‍♀️

Re: not coping

I only recently discovered on the forums about SAD in summer... I'm sorry to hear that you have that, @outlander 😣

The $500 bill would've been a shock 😣 I'm glad you can start making part payments, I hope they don't push you to finalise the payment quickly.

Re: not coping

yeah its abit strange @NatureLover its only when its really really hot like we get 40+ days here and sometimes 2 or 3 days in a row so can take a week to recover just from that. in my house even with an aircon its almost just as hot inside as it is outside.

yeah its a very big shock this bill. i wasnt expecting it. im trying to claim through medicare so i can get their part sent out as early as possible (with covid theres usually the delays) thats if itll let me and i dont have to pay the whole thing first 🤦‍♀️

ive been and done all the horses, picked up the horse feed and changed all the rugs over. i was planning on doing the washing but ive decided to give the washing machine a proper clean with a washing machine liquid so ill do some washing on the weekend instead

That sounds good, it sounds like you had enough energy for that...I expect horse feed weighs quite a bit? And their rugs, too...

I hope the claim can go through quickly for you, @outlander That would be better.

Re: not coping

its not too heavy or anything just a little time consuming as i have at least 6 on a daily basis. @NatureLover

one horse is going back to its owner on saturday though so itll be a little easier for me. itll be a big day on sat though as theyve asked if i can help and to bring the equipment and gear that i have at my house for him.
