Places to go, things to do kinda day...




Our morning proved to be a bit busy and that's the way I like it, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, I like it!

Within about a two hour period where we accomplished my exercise program at the rehab/gym, then over to the Women's Wellness Center for squishing boobies for my yearly mam, and last lunch at one of the few Greek restaurants that I know of locally, Olympia; Geez how appropriate, tis the season, hmm?

Hubby ordered a Reuben, with sadly tough corned-beef, not Greek to me, could be why, hmm? Any-who, I had the good sense to order a small Greek salad and a cup of their famous cabbage soup! Soup was fine and the salad seemed to be missing something... couldn't tell what though...
While sitting, minding our own business all of a sudden I felt a spray of water at the back of my neck, head/hair, and blouse! I turned around, but could not absolutely determine from whence it came. Of course it was not harmful or painful but cold and wet and I didn't like it at all! I mentioned it to the server and she looked up at the air-conditioning vent thinking logically perhaps it could of come from there, but no it did not...Hubby, then after she left said the fellow sitting behind us around our age, with a group of people, all drinking water with lemon and straws, well, Hubby said he thought the one directly behind me was playing with his straw, filling it with water and letting it out and it could have come out from his ridiculous game with it, but when asked he denied it...Geez, I don't know about you, but if it was me at this age especially I would own up to the silly accident and apologize, wouldn't you?
I was cold and wet and extremely annoyed, and when we left, I almost kicked his chair from my wheelchair, out of anger, but I missed!
I suppose it was a good thing too, because according to Hubby he said that would have been battery and I could have been arrested, would you believe?

I wonder how any of you would have handled it?
Do remember I did miss the chair, and he didn't even know I tried to do that outlandish thing.

But what gets me the most, if I looked like my old self, a thin blonde, healthy with blue eyes that sparkled and move together, instead this fat blob, dark haired with gray highlights,  added by nature, half blind with one eye only able to focus on you, sitting in a wheelchair,... I wonder if he would have apologized? Or at least admit that he did it? It has been my experience that he would have, they all do when you look a certain way...for shame, boo hoo, and it does hurt. I have been both, pretty and ugly, and pretty sadly wins always! How shallow most people truly are. The "judging a book by its cover", comes to mind...

We have all seen the TV people dress in fat suits, most recently Dr. Oz, and I didn't watch that show, but I did see the promo. I bet the ones that saw it know exactly what happened and what I said was true. If I am not telling the truth let lightening strike me now!
What's that?
No, lightening?
See, ha!

Moving on...
Although, the day did start off a bit ominous with a call from Care mark my new pharmacy, Brandon the sales rep from there stated that he needed to straighten out my delivery for Tuesday of the Copaxone 40 MG. that it was not done right by whomever tried to send it through and with the way it was done I might not have received it!
Talk about drama momma!
I get more than my share, truly!
He apparently is my caped crusader, since he  stated that if he hadn't intervened it would not have gone through and I wouldn't have seen it for who knows how long?
Well, he resolved the issue lickety split and I thanked him, minus calling him 'My Hero'. Phone friends are great since they cannot see you; so to them who knows what they think you look like, hmm?
He did seem to feel like many do, that are good at their job, that follow up on sales items, to make sure their customers are happy, no problem there, really.
And so all is well and my shipment is on target and all paid for, including the $150 for a month's supply copay by Assistant Fund my copay Angel, yes that's right three months is a $450 copay, my insurance covers the rest, thank goodness!
So all is smooth sailing...
I even got a lead on two neuros locally from National MS 1-800-344-4867, and Multiple Sclerosis of America 1-800-532-7667 today sent me a research update on all the newest medications in use and in promising trials and many are for SPMS, Secondary Progressive and  PPMS Primary Progressive, which previously there had been not much to be done...it's so very exciting! I let them know about me going on the Copaxone 40 MG that was just approved by the FDA last month 1-28-14!
I feel like I am one of the many lucky ones... 85% who have been given the choice to change to mine, they informed me will be over the next several months, although the Copaxone 20 MG. will still be available. So everyone is happy!
  
On that note of more hope allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
