I have two questions for everybody and really appreciate any thoughts on both:

1. I'm looking for a disability attorney (ideally familiar with tos) in California.

2. Do unpaid medical bills affect your credit score a lot? I obviously ask this because I have a small fortune in unpaid medical bills at the moment as I'm sure many of you have . Also, does anyone have any advice about how to best manage a small fortune in unpaid medical bills?

And, in case anyone is wondering, I'm still recovering from my surgery 4 weeks ago. The post-operative complication of pain in my chest has diminished over all, but I have my good and bad days and hours and minutes. Using my right arm still causes me a lot of pain, and that's the hardest part. But I definitely feel that I'm on the right track and that they generally fixed my problem during surgery. I just don't know how recovered I am going to be eventually.

Thanks to everybody and all my love, Annie
