Emergency Fund Withdrawal

September 10th, 2014 at 05:51 pm

I had a bunch of medical stuff come up with my daughter, so I ended up taking some money out of the Emergency Fund to pay for it. I also deposited $100 back into it from the last paycheck, plus $3 from an overpayment into another account.

New EF total: $8920.22

Who knows what is coming up, either? My daughter has to have an ultrasound next week. We are suspecting gall stones. She's also having some other issues that sound very much to me like the endometriosis I was plagued with before my hysterectomy. So I need to see if I can find a female gyno that is taking new patients and takes our insurance.

I also have my MRI for my knee next week.

If my husband ever gets around to submitting the information for the kids' glasses to his insurance company, we will have some money coming back. It should be around $400. That will get dumped back into the EF. Hopefully we won't have to then turn around and spend it on upcoming medical bills. I am hoping to absorb most of that into the budget, but it isn't always easy to do that.

I wish DH's company would be more forthcoming about raises. They are majorly dragging their feet. It was supposed to happen months ago. The new insurance withholding that should have coincided with raises is really wrecking the budget.

    Does changing DD's diet to avoid those foods that aggravate symptoms of endometriosis [sugar, wheat products, red meat, soy products, caffeine, dairy etc] help at all ? Will your insurance cover laparoscopy if that's suggested ?

    Snafu, DD doesn't eat red meat, soy, caffeine, or dairy. She's allergic to soy and dairy. We use honey, not sugar. And we don't have all that much in the way of wheat products, either. Yes, they would cover a laparoscopy. But first we need to get the gall bladder thing sorted out.
