Save My Ass – Hire a Blogger/Writer

So when I had the concept for this post – Save My Ass – it was because I realized that it’s been five years since the gastroenterologist told me I should come back and see him in five years for another colonoscopy. You see, my mom’s brothers have all had cancerous polyps in their colons. That wasn’t enough to get me to have one before I turned 30, but I was having a host of other issues, and mainly the doctor wanted to know why I was so anemic and why I had so many GI problems. Then he found a bunch of polyps in there – thankfully benign, but combined with the family history, enough of a concern to have me come back in five years. And now, my dad’s lingering indolent lymphoma has set up camp in his colon, so it’s been making me nervous…

Did you know that the average colonoscopy costs $3,000?

That’s on average. When you have to have polyps removed and biopsied, the cost goes up. And my husband’s health insurance plan sucks – we have a $5,000 deductible. So the idea was I’d ask people to hire me (well, my company) to write enough blog posts to pay for my colonoscopy. Save my ass. Get it? But come to find out, we’re only about $900 away from reaching our deductible, and our insurance plan considers colonoscopies a form of preventative care - and therefore not subject to the deductible, because they cover it.

So my literal ass does not need to be saved. My figurative ass could use some help.

Work has been slower than I needed it to be this year. (That $5,000 deductible was new this year and really hasn’t helped matters.) Our garbage disposal died. Our dishwasher died. And I hate to admit this, but I’ve missed making estimated tax payments for the past two quarters, and I’m terrified of how much I may owe the IRS come income tax season, because I don’t know where the money will come from. And I have at least 5 different people telling me that I should get tested for Lyme disease because of my back and joint pain – and doctor’s office visits and lab tests still cost money.

I know we could be worse off. At least we both have jobs. We can still make our mortgage payments. But health care costs are killing us. (I’ve been in agony all week with back pain like I’ve never felt before in my life, and for the first time ever, I didn’t seek medical treatment because we couldn’t afford it right now.)

Hire Me to Write and Blog for You

When I say hire me, I would like it known that my company is implied. Because my writers are awesome. Now that that’s out of the way…
