Trying to get the jump on Friday, so I am writing this post that will sit here until morning. Previous post was so chock-full of ramblings, I didn't want to add more to it. Saved it for today.
Let's bitch about prescriptions, insurance, medical facilities and doctors (again, and again, and again).
Update: Last Friday, the gal from the Liver Doc called, I relayed the insurance company message for the office to 'send the prescription to the pharmacy'. So the gal went to CVS Special Prescription Unit (who'd ever thought this was a thing) and they called me Wednesday. Seems they got the request, and now the insurance wants me to call them before they will give the release. Sigh. Not again. Please.
I don't recall exactly what the insurance company actually needed from me, but after talking to them, they released it. CVS was supposed to call me back on Thursday, to get the information of what the insurance informed me. at 4:55pm I realized the lady from CVS had not called, so I called the number she had called from. I got to talk to a nice rep named Joe (aren't all cool guys named Joe, eh Hoosierboy?) and ... let us just say, this is a shit-show.
So, the basics of how this works, CVS Spec. Presc. Unit (SPU) sends the prescription to my house (not like a normal pick-up in store) by UPS - which means I need to sign for it. I could set a specific day of the week between Tues-Fri for delivery, but I never know when I will be home to sign. They will now ship the prescription to the CVS near me, who will then call me and say it is ready. When I go in to the pharmacy, I'll have to sign there to say I received it. That works!! And it will occur every month (or until I am off it, whatever). He even said he shows no co-pay due on it, even though the insurance rep had given me a Manufacturer coupon to drop the cost, so even better. Now to see when I can get it next week. Only almost 4 weeks without it....
That being said, empty calendar for the weekend. Monday have a paracentesis, and also bloodwork to be drawn at the Liver Dr's office, and my Riders meeting that evening. Maybe this weekend I will post more about the new hobbies and learning opportunities I am looking at.... stay tuned!
UPDATE: The eggs ol'e went over okay. I did a couple ingredient substitutions (small curd cottage cheese instead of creamed, and I couldn't find the baking powder to buy, or at home, so left it out). So it didn't rise up in the pan as it should have. I found it quite bland to taste, so needed to add some hot sauce to it. Wife and Youngest said it was fine. I wasn't expecting it to be a super-wonderful, never-to-be-eaten again dinner, but if they at least like it, I can make it again later. I will admit, I had cut it into 'pieces' in the pan, and I only had one - before my body decided to reject it, and threw it up. I had fought with nausea all day, and still a bit this morning. My Sister and BIL are moving to New Mexico and leave this Sunday. They are doing a yard sale today and tomorrow, to get as rid as much as they don't have to take. I'll be headed that way in about an hour or so. Called Sis yesterday and said I would be by to look at tools the BIL doesn't need anymore, and have a chance to say bye. They will be gone the better part of two years, before possibly returning here.
Last night, at dinner and the rest of the night, that nausea was bad. I think I am going to stop at Walgreens on the way to Sis' to see if they recommend an OTC for nausea, brought on as a side effect of medication. At least, I'm pretty sure it is considering at least three have it listed. Anyways, I need to get off here and get a few things done before I leave.
