yeah thats who i called next and was told "oh sorry we are no seeing new patients haha wtf".... so really my only hope is waiting on theses MAPS people to call me back, keep going to the ER and flipout there to get some serious tests done and never pay them until i'm like 50 and rich or something, or go back home to washington which i have been considering for a little while. The health care for the poor in Washington is much closer to what the care in Canada is. I have worked in the past and i do work now(just self employed) but i havent this past year due to health, and being in a new state, no jobs, and i do have two kids. So i'm finding this extremly frustrating. Excuse all my typos in the past posts i was tired and aggitated.
Sorry for being a guy and snooping.. but I am an artist and I live in TX also. My best friend Andy (who is an artist and lives in TX aswell) had to have surgery for a hernia and could not pay for it. He got it paid for by some artist relief fund. I would do some ssearches on the internet for some groups that can help you out. In the meantime I'll try to get ahold of Andy, it maybe hard thought he's moving back from Colorado, so his computer is down.
Just keep on doing what you do best and my best wishes for you are here!!.. YOUR AWESOME and stay that way.. peace chickens
Thank you , yeah i got one link from a good friend i'm sending them slides and reff letters and a resume i'm hoping it will work http://www.arthousetexas.org/index.php?_page=load_page&_action=load&_id=85 this is what they say Arthouse has established the Emergency Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to Texas artists who have experienced an unforseen health or property disaster which prevents their normal production of art. Applicants must be full time artists. For more information contact info@arthousetexas.org, or call 512.453.5312. To download and print an Emergency Relief Fund application, click here. but if you got any more links i'll try them too thank you, i'm grateful.
You are very welcome. I talked to Andy lastnight and that's the organization he went through. Good Luck! keep us posted. BTW do you have a site for your art? I'd love to see some of your works.

I just wanted to update this and say i still don't have medical care i'll still ill from time to time, when i lay down at night i feel a hard ball on my left ovary but everything is still in process with DSHS it looks like they MIGHT give me medical under the circumstances. Also today i got a check from the Arthouse for $200 dollars so i was extremly grateful, that will help!!!
