This program is starting to financially bleed me dry hard core! I've been selected for my 3rd drug screening in FIVE days. And the kicker? Two of them are super expensive blood tests.
For the past year, it's been averaging one a week. Maybe one blood test a month. Now Wednesday I get hit with blood, Thursday I get hit with a pricey urine, and today I get hit with another blood! I'm clean as a whistle, there is absolutely nothing to find. So I'm not stressing about a positive, but I AM stressing about paying $375 in a five business day span.
The only change is that they are voting to take me off of a narc restriction today. I straight up just emailed my case manager, asking her if that was the cause of the uptick. I mean, I'd rather it be a temporary increase rather than a new standard for the next four years. It was expensive enough before...but even working as a nurse with a contributing spouse, I can't afford to keep up this pace indefinitely. That's like a moderate car payment weekly!!!
I doubt I will hear back from my CM. Maybe it will hurt me to have even asked. Whatever. But this has me terrified for my finances and the ability to feed my family AND keep the utilities on.
