HOSPITAL BILL FROM MY RECENT HEART ATTACK

Was off work for a week recovering from my recent heart attack.  Just started my second week back at work, so far so good.  Got my hospital bill in the mail today.  The grand total so far is near $46,000.  Still waiting on the bill from the cardiologist.  Also waiting to hear back from the hospital's assistance program for the uninsured.  Since going back to work I haven't been covered by health insurance, so I'm going to have to figure out how to pay my own medical costs without leaving myself in the poor house.  I told Pickles, my chihuahua, he may have to get a job :0).  He was not amused.
