Target Stores, Life and other stuff

I ran out of my Thyroid pills.  Crap.  It is not a lack of money.  Heck, they only cost $9.00 for a 90 day supply.  I just forgot.  No one seems to think it is a big deal that for the rest of my life I have to take this pill everyday.  And that is how I tried to act.  But you know what it is a big deal.   The difference between how I feel now and how I felt a year ago before I started taking the medicine is AMAZING.  I could not function before.  But I still don't feel "better".  The Doctors say my TSH level (that is how they measure the thyroid) is normal.  But everything that I have read says that even when the numbers show "normal" you may not have the right levels.  There are more advanced tests but my Doctor has not felt the need to do those tests.  Most people with thyroid problems see an Endocrinologist.  I don't have that option.  I am blessed to have the medical coverage that I have.  I am blessed to have a safe and warm place to live and the money for the medicine I need.  But I am not wealthy enough to have the medical coverage I deserve.  There are things that could have been done for my mom 10 years ago that were not done because she did not have the right insurance.  There were things that could have been done for my father before he died that would have most likely extened his life.  But after serving in the military for 22 years he did not have the right insurance.  There were things that could have been done for Dixon.  But he had no insurance.  Unless you are Dick Cheney, Larry Hagman or someone with equal wealth, cause what, you are pretty much screwed if you have more than minor medical needs.
I look forward to the day when good health is a right and not a privalage.  I hope that day comes soon.  Until then I will take by pill once a day and hope that I can function.
On a totally different subject, I encourage people to find an alternative to Target Stores.  There customer service is horrible.  There prices are no longer that much better than other places.  Unless you are a die hard ultra conservative, there corporate philosophy is toxic.  There are alternative.  I plan on finding them.  Hope other will also.
