Need met! Thank you so much!

tl;dr at bottom!

Hi there everyone. I have really bad teeth and used to get tooth infections all the time. It’s been a few years, but I have one now. It’s slow to develop and I’m still hoping it’ll find a way to drain itself, but I’ve been urged by my friends to go ahead and go get antibiotics, so I’m going to take the advice I know to be wise. I’m old hat at this, they’ll give me antibiotics and tell me to go to a dentist, and I will take the meds and not go to a dentist because even with dental insurance now I can’t even begin to afford copays when I can’t pay rent or feed myself. All of my teeth need to be removed, just to start.

I scheduled an appointment with the local urgent care thingy (CareSpot) tomorrow after work. I’d paid all my bills (or so I thought…), set aside my rent money for this week in a money order, minus the $50 for the copay for tomorrow. And then my phone bill hit. This is like my second month having a phone bill again after probably a year not having a carrier. It’s only $14 and change. But now I’m short on my copay. I can’t extract money from that money order as it is made out to my apartment complex already, and I also do not have a physical bank.

tl;dr: tooth infection, need urgent care copay $50 for tomorrow to go get antiobiotics, set money aside but phone bill snuck up on me, need $15.
