So I had an abnormal pap, and they did a copol, and then they tell me that I need surgery. A Leep, so that they can scrape the cells off my cervix. So I'm like okay, I'll do that when I get insurance. They tell me that I may want to file for Medicaid that day b/c the cells are pre cancer. So I just kind of look at the doctor, then the nurse, and b/c I'm scared to death I play it cool, like "sure, will do". It is bad enough that I am totally afraid of being put under anesthesia, but now if I dont do the surgery what am I to do? I'm 24, my daughter is 1.  Cancer... So I'm filing for my medicaid, I know for sure that I should get it, because of the fact I don't work and all I get from child support is $275/mo.  I was DENIED my medicaid today, b/c the woman who was working my application said that I made $300/mo child support and that I make too much money. I am supposed to have this surgery by next week. It isn't going to happen. I tried to go through MAP (Medical Assistance Program) but just to see if I quailfy, they scheduled that appointment  October 9th. I can't stop crying. I don't know how this happened to me. I'm terrified and I'm trying to hide that I'm upset from the baby, and my brother and dad and mom, but I'm miserable. I've appealed my denial, but I feel so helpless and screwed.
