Waste of time...

Not happy!

We went to the gastro doc this afternoon, who looks a lot to me, like Hitler, should have known better…and not gone back after that first time I went to him… (Oddly enough though, someone had written on a grease board 'Shana Tova', Happy New Year, with a smiley face below it, in a back patient room…who knows what to think… But I did ask the nurse who said their cleaning crew is Jewish, huh?) Most Jews have cleaning crews, ha!

He looked at my blood work and medications and asked me how I felt and I told him all the tummy related problems and he said that what I am already taking should make it all alright.

That is the Nexium and the Pepcid, but I said it is not… I had so many symptoms he couldn’t put a handle on it and suggested an endoscopy, which is only due to me mentioning that I am a former smoker. He truly said to me that he felt it wasn’t going to show anything, even so…The desk lady contacted my insurance company to help me out and find out how much the procedure would be out of pocket…again too much!

Of course at this point I was exhausted and frustrated and said the heck with it all…actually, I said the horrible my to go thing, “I would be less expense if I were dead”, yep, I said that… to dear sweet Hubby…again… do I ever stop my terrorizing, shame on me!

And so now I will just have to go to my internist if I need to find out anything tummy related…I don’t have any report with this guy…I think I am prejudice on how he looks…

A can of worms is what I seem to open every time I think I will find the answer to my medical problems, since it turns into a bigger problem. I give up! Denial is looking pretty darn good right now!

I have another theory though, the one that can make sense is the weaning process off my medications for spasms and blood pressure might be responsible, and perhaps the ammonia smelling salmon we had last week?

But Hubby didn’t get sick too.

He told Publix and this week and he chose the Tilapia instead and they gave it to him for free, (Hubby took extra time to smell it first, now and always!) saying that they knew that they had to throw a whole lot of the salmon away; interesting, hmm?

Although, number one son is coming down this Sunday for fishing with his dear ole and maybe we will have some good ole truly fresh fish, Snook!  I so miss fishing…

And so I went online to renew Hubby’s fishing license, since we both hadn’t had any these last few years since for a couple of years we kept renewing and not going…any-who, I did this while he was still talking to number one on the phone and for some strange reason I thought the licenses went up in price due to the total for a saltwater license and Snook stamp totaling $42.50 plus handling charges. I seem to recall the two coming to twenty-seven, seventeen for the saltwater and ten for the Snook…at check out, online I saw the problem, I must have hit the wrong button, the one for fresh and saltwater since it said that and that was a$32.50 cost plus the Snook stamp for another $10!

Hubby never, anymore, goes fresh water fishing, after all we live on a saltwater canal five minutes from the harbor by our boat, why would he?

Bad day, alright!

While Hubby went out to pick up dinner; yep, tummy gal was miserable and needed some Chinese comfort food…I said I would try and call fish and game and see if I could fix the problem, but as it says online… all sales are final!

Too bad for me!

And so I tried to think of what else I could say to Hubby when he returned and all I could think of was perhaps he should consider fresh water fishing too; at least for the next year?

The interesting part is that this is the last year he will have to pay for a license for in Florida at sixty-five years old; fishing is free with proper proof of age and when you are a resident!

On that note, of my once again mishmash of a day, humor is where you find it, since I do know things could be worse, and they were, bud dump bum, nah, kidding, (Hubby could have responded to my selfish quip with OKAY go! But he didn’t… he just looked horrified, and I did apologize, or I will…) allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy 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!

Back on the homefront...

America’s favorite past-time is football in the fall, playing, watching there or at home and tailgating from the parking lots!

Many American’s, according to a disturbing survey are more interested in Miley Cyrus’s shenanigans on a music awards show than what is happening in Syria; an eighty/twenty split, with the her getting more of the attention! Must be all those football fans?

Before you all get angry at me…I too believe in balance, but… I draw limits when it comes to what’s more important to know about in life… Gosh, I even did a short stint as a cheerleader folks, really!

Empty-headedness is not just another blond joke, and PS I am a blond too, naturally, NOT! It is not just being aware and interested enough in other things, that is other things than your own little worlds, got that?

Any-who, I don’t know about you, but I will be listening intently when the Pres speaks tomorrow night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern/ 8 P.M. Central and 7 P.M. Pacific time, even though he will be sharing the logic that mostly informed us all today if willing to access it … On how Russia is trying to help Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by having him turn in the chemical weaponry to the international community, an off the cuff suggestion by Kerry and Syria is thinking about it, but, make that a BIG BUT, if he isn’t the one that gassed his own people than why would he have any and if he does have some, but not from the stash that was used on the more than fourteen hundred people who were annihilated than where is the rest of it, hmm?

http://news.yahoo.com/assad-warns-repercussions-us-strike-151107638--politics.html

At first I said that’s nice going Russia…but than I said, hmm?

Moving on…

Why is it when areas get flooded/swamped each year and people say that they are going to move!

Now these are the people who built their homes in that area and on live TV interviews tell the world how they will be moving out…Good Luck selling that property!

And that’s the truest definition of a ‘home being underwater’ here in Florida, bud dump bum!

People, if you know what’s good for you, you should subscribe to the shut your mouth and move syndrome; I hear tell it works better when trying to sell real-estate; it is an old custom here in Florida, selling swamp-land to the tourists and it has worked for generations! (Actually, it must have worked, since we are edging ever closer to a nearly twenty million population…)

Kidding or not…

But to be honest, if truth be known much of good ole New Jersey, our old stomping ground was also built on swamp-land! So take that!

Think about all the lands that created homesteads from so-called wastelands, Israel comes to mind… a desert into a lush land, our western prairies that thankfully still much exist but have had homesteaders for centuries...

Oh dear, we have impinged on too much of nature’s home and that is why bears, cougars and all wildlife are subtly trying to take it back, and so it appears at times…

The forest fires are horrible, and we try so very hard to save the homes on the edges of them, but what if those homes were never built there?

Like us waterfront dwellers living near danger too…and nature…but why?

So many questions and too few answers…someone must know?

 Let us all think before we act with all problems to solve in life, and perhaps our procrastination will be of some benefit?

Nah! We must act fast to change things that need our attention and make life better for everyone and everything!

Remember when you read this that it is all written by a person with brain deficits and compromised eyesight and than you might be not so judgmental?

Love that word, seems compounded to me… judg-mental, to you too?

On that more than ridiculous end to all this nonsense, allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and kindly ask you to 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!

PS Odd we had a rain-free day today, kinda miss it, but I am told it shall return and soon…

Red line, how does it define that it could be the time?

Lotsa things have red lines, spider veins, for one, a stop sign for another, some types of flowers do too, a child’s picture of a heart… but his is of another kind that is a ‘red line’ that has been stepped over with extreme inhumane behavior…

And that is why our Pres who told us over a year ago that if… 'they' use chemical warfare on people, anyone who does, should be stopped! Not verbatim, but close...

I am sure glad that I am not the president who feels the weight of the world on his shoulders…Most all of the rest of everyone has said, “DON’T DO IT! IT WILL ONLY BE A BEGINNING, NOT AN END!”

As I said above I am sure glad I am not him, the pres that is…in all of our decent human being hearts that were torn out staring in horror at those graphic displays of children writhing in the death dance from that ungodly potion that should have been turned around and used to kill the concept and to destroy itself…as well as whose ever idea it was to use it on over fourteen hundred living breathing people including those of  lives just begun...

Boy, am I glad that its not my decision to try to stop an escalation of a re-occurrence of it happening again, and again…It’s gotta be why he asked for help to decide?

So much can happen.

It is a true conundrum of being damned if you do and damned if you don’t, hmm, for people or deities all who are watching your next move…and as many feel are the final judgment.

Sure glad its not me deciding, since with the possibility of others of our allies saying, no don’t go and the others who seem to favor the people of the whole wide world who’s says NO, it won’t stop there!

Instinctively when it first happened, Miss Make Love Not War, here, thought that’s a really bad thing that was done and so many innocent victims were massacred and we all know that less than that has started wars in all our histories, true? I was angry and saddened and also confused... doesn't take much for that with me...

Any-who, has the world gotten a conscience or a presumption of what another war could mean to this already screwed up world theaters of a war here, a war there, everywhere a war, war?

No, that can’t be right, since still too many wars are on this planet; economically WAR was big business at one time, but we have been at war for over a decade this time and still no economic relief has benefited our world, and so it’s not for the money…with all the ones going on right now as I write this… than I am stumped, is the death toll not impressive enough? What a horrid question, but I had to ask…No, that is not it, since we all cried when we saw that was what had happened and to whom…!

I hate to say this, but aside from the ramifications of us not getting out after the initial let them physically know they shouldn’t do this and scaring the bejeebers out of the ones responsible… perhaps it is the fear of it escalating into a prolonged Iraq war-like situation or Afghanistan or anywhere we don’t really, really want to be there, but need to be there due to Al Qaeda still being a threat to us…isn’t this just another one of those threats?

Can that poison go to other places, to kill more people?

Or could it be that some people are not sure who the responsible parties are who committed these murders? Now that makes sense, since than whom do you warn with that warning military action?

And last but not least, as we have all been thinking, but only David Letterman, (Late night TV host) and my Hubby and I have said out loud, haven’t we gone way past the element of surprise for any type of a reprisal by now?

You know me my usual suspects that read this drivel, (thanks by the way) know that I don’t like to take sides, but try my darnedest to show all the corners and content as well as the sides of the argument…and sit on the fence for we as people on this planet need to decide for ourselves and aren’t we all so happy that we are being asked, “what should they do?”

No, we are not, but that hasn’t stopped thousands for not saying what should be done and as you all know the results of that survey is…

On that note of the thought of it that we truly had that much control, but we do, calls have been coming in and people want to be heard and that is terrific in my book of many different notes… than allow me to be the very first to wish all of you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know who and we will too!

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

Living our lives how we wish...

Commonalities are amazing when you find people who can relate to you and you to them as well.

But truly understanding one another is not quite as easy, ya know?

Some of us who try to magnify the positive and play down the negative are thought to be Polyannas and others just tell it as it is…

I do both.

It’s hard to know what makes others say, “Geez, I get that!”

Life has ups and downs and whoever doesn’t realize that doesn’t live their life realistically.

I had someone tell me that I am getting out and about so much so, but they cannot.

Then I thought; why can’t they?

Is it due to not having any transportation?

Is it due to not having the time?

Or could they think that it costs money? Sure for gas.

Well, and aside from eating out whenever we wish or feel the need to, due to not sharing equally the chores anymore…that does cost some money, but we recently started using our points for those places and save a bit…

Any-who, most all the venues we find entertaining are FREE!

Whenever we go to the home and garden shows or most things at our convention center, there is no charge, art galleries are free too, and farmer’s markets too, unless you buy something, which in the case of the farmer’s market you really should, because it is mmm, mmm good for you!

We are fortunate to have so many things locally, art and antiques shows, street fairs, crafts and flea markets there is always something going on usually.

With my heat sensitivity though, in recent years, we have had to choose wisely, indoor venues in the hot months, and go to the outdoor ones when the weather cools off a bit.

There is always more going on here from October to April due to it being our ‘Snowbird Season’.

People who put together the activities anywhere in this state that has a large population of

‘Snowbirds’ tries hard to make them happy by entertaining them.

For any of you out there who may not know the term, ‘Snowbird’, well it is not derogatory at all, it just refers to our cold weather friends who come to Florida or perhaps other warmer climate states to avoid their too cold snowy winters and stay for the duration and so they fly south, figuratively or actually, thus being ‘Snow-Birds’, see no harm no foul, pun intended…

Many are from Canada, and not geese, ha, not just the colder United States, and many, most, own their second homes here in Florida.

You have to be here for more than a normal vacation to be considered one, at least a month or more… I do believe, but I could be wrong, I have been wrong before…and that is oh so true!

And so to that person who felt that my life was more fun, or easier or what-have-you than theirs I still believe it is up to all of us to find things to make us happy.

My happy and your happy are probably not the same, but that doesn’t matter…

Everyone has to find their own.

Since I am sometimes childlike, that is with my attention span, some things that made me happy one day might not work the next…and so that could be true for you too?

And quiet nothingness sometimes is just what the doctor ordered, well not the doctor, but it could be he/she too, than thy self and that’s fine too!

But trying too hard to please anyone, including yourself, (now get your minds out of the gutter) can at times be futile and so relax…

Take time to figure out what you need for yourself to be able to do what you really want to do… all that keeps running through my brain is when I was working the concept was to work hard and to play hard too, in other words a balance between the two, now does that still make sense?  I bet to some of you it does. In my case it means responsibility to take of necessities and than go out and have some fun, for sanity if for no other reason… IT’S GOOD FOR YOU!

On that note or a point around the bend, ha, 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 those overages with you know who and we will too!

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

Back to basics...

Life goes on after discord of any kind, and that is something we all do know.

Just like all things in life conflicts once resolved should be just a fond, well maybe not fond, but a vivid, yep that’s the ticket, a vivid memory of what was.

And so tonight I will start with expressing my latest challenge of the day… As many know since the holiday of Labor Day was last Monday, the rehab was closed as many places of that type are. To maintain my momentum of my exercise routines I had to adjust to only going there twice this week, Wednesday and today. I suppose for many they might have made up an additional day like Tuesday or Thursday, but no, not me.

I get it into my head to do something one way and that is how I will do it, although, in this still not high performance condition probably not the best idea.

Now I do believe why I had a difficult time with the arm cycle today, profuse perspiring, nausea and dizziness after only four minutes in one direction; it could have been attributed to coming from the heat of outside into the building, but our car is also air-conditioned?

Sure it had been hot all summer long, as usual, without this result before… odd, and so after those few minutes I was ready to call it quits, shame on me!

Hubby became the true coach that one could only hope for and said to "take a break and rest and then we will go over to the total gym and for you to do that, and maybe later go back to the arm cycle, okay?"

Maybe not verbatim, but something like that…

Any-who, I drank some of my cool/cold club soda, and rested in a cooler area of the gym it seemed to me, although they do keep the whole place on seventy degrees uniformly.

I know some of you northerners may think that is still too warm, but when it’s in the low nineties outside, seventy inside should feel just right.

The idea worked and I was able to complete my two sets of fifty reps on the total gym and then move over to the overhead light weighted pulls and from there I did finish my arm cycle reps totaling my usual of fifteen minutes of seven and half minutes in either direction! TA DA!

Barring any too incapacitating ills or holidays I have been able to go every week since April 9^th, 2013 there! And hopefully, I will be showing some difference in my silhouette, now looking a little too much like Alfred Hitchcock, but with hair, in the near future with the diminishing of my medications as well as the two completely gone, the Gabapentin and the Hydrochlorothiazide. My Lisinopril dose was cut in half and my Baclofen is down this week to forty MG. from seventy! At one time I did have 80MG. individual pills for the Baclofen, which I was able to take as needed and so that is why the Baclofen has not been that big a problem to wean myself off of due to that I suspect. Since the Baclofen and Gabapentin are for my spasms I suppose keeping the Baclofen with me is the best way to handle any that are too severe… it used to work and so I will go with that thought.

While at my internist, Dr Nord’s on Wednesday I was also informed that the exact dose of the Levothyroxine that I am on for my hypothyroid is maintaining my thyroid within the normal range.

The reason that the doctor was iffy about lowering my dosing on the Lisinopril and getting rid of the Hydrochlorothiazide she said that my blood pressure that has been running low normal was the way she felt it should be, but those meds help do that…and concern for my kidneys...but my blood work for them too did not indicate anything to be concerned with...

Thus the more blood work and appointment and monitoring of my blood pressure in three months, but we have had our own blood pressure machine for seven years now. Since it had been recommended for me to get one and then when Hubby acquired his own high blood pressure three years ago, we were able to monitor his too instead of going back and forth to the doctor’s or drug store one… it was less than thirty bucks at Walmart that time and has been calibrated when we’ve taken it in to the doctor’s offices when there for regular appointments.

The blood pressure machine is quite a handy thing to have, really, if you have high blood pressure that you are told to monitor, but don’t get addicted to it, ha; once a day if running a bit high or once a week just to verify.

Too high readings can also be caused by too frequent use causing unnecessary concern.

Voice of experience here, although with Hubby it did enable his medication to be regulated, since his was all over the map, i.e. blood pressure!

All in all I seem to be better than I was last month, and that is what any of us can only wish for… my tummy has been odd though lately could be the readjusting to the lack of some meds, who knows but I mentioned my need for more Pepcid to Dr. Nord; she told me with the Nexium that I should contact my gastro doc and so now I am seeing him next week…I suppose it never ends!

But that’s pretty much the way it is for everyone, true?

On that note of knowing we are not alone, 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 those overages with you know who and we will too!

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

Satisfaction!

Some things are timeless, hmm?

Rolling Stones - Satisfaction (I Can't Get No) Lyrics

 “I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction”

Oh yes, I sure did!

Squeaky wheels and all, but if at first you don’t succeed; try HARDER!

The below addendum was added this morning to my last night’s frustrating rant…

“Update: This just in 9:02 A.M. 9-5-13: The co-pay of $2350 was actually paid yesterday afternoon and they did not have to put me through any of this! Now they will be sending out my other medications!”

When I called back Accredo this morning I was told that the $2350 had been paid yesterday in the afternoon! Now why, I wondered did they call me with that broken recording of needing to be paid that above amount before I would be sent my prescriptions in that ridiculous message after five that evening?

Stress is not good for anyone, even the healthiest can become ill, but people who already have many chronic illnesses it does seem to have a nasty immediate effect on a few of us. It has been known that prolong stress can and has caused exacerbation of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms needing IV intervention or hospitalization with additional residual lessened abilities resulting as permanent deficits!

Sadly, if they checked their own computer’s information they would have never sent that repetitive message and yes, my dear friends it was more than trying to make a point last night since that is exactly what was on that robo call, over, and over again the same message! Anyway, this time it has been resolved, for this month’s needs.

Oddly enough, I was dealing with another smaller question on our home phone and Internet bill combo and so yesterday earlier I called CenturyLink to inquire about the monthly discrepancies in the amounts charged to us each month as the consumer, when we clearly should have a flat rate that should appear identical monthly, barring tax increases, heaven forbid.

And now this sounds silly, but the woman put me on hold, and I am talking about literally pennies sometimes as much as a dollar or more and you know what?

She got back on the phone and said that there had been a mistake and they had overcharged us and each time they would balance it out the next month and that is why it was up and down, and this month on the bill I received was actually $1.18 more than it should have been and so she subtracted it from our bill! TA DA!

See now if you don’t ask you don’t know… spoken by a person who, now repeat after me HAS WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON HER HANDS! LOL!

In other news… national as well as local has been reporting for all shoppers to check their register receipts because too many businesses are making BIG mistakes at the check out, so you too should CHECK IT OUT!

Make sure you get that sale price you went in there for or they subtracted your discount or your coupons, just be a more aware and diligent shopper and you won’t wonder where did all that money go.

I think there are small wars that as consumers of anything should try to win.

No, I do not think accounting for where your money goes is being cheap I believe it is being frugal and appropriate.

Math seems to be a lost art with so many business people and the machines have taken so much of our thinking away and so this is just a reality check that even the best honed machine can still screw up, not unlike us human beings and we all need those checks and balances to make it all work right!

That’s all.

On that thought to chew on and do with what you please… 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!

PS Most medications can be had for free or at lower cost if you go to the sources and criteria’s may surprise you, you can make anywhere from 40K to 100K and still qualify for help and many times the freebies come from the pharmaceutical companies…!

There is no shame in asking for help. It was hard at first not having to ever before, but now there is something positive with knowing it is out there… I learned during the six years I was uninsurable; experience teaches us to gain our own peace of mind, stress-less-ness and dare I say, some benign, SATISFACTION!

When you pay your $2,350 co-pay for your Copaxone then we will send you your twenty dollars worth of cholesterol and blood pressure medication...

“When you pay your $2,350 co-pay for your Copaxone then we will send you your twenty dollars worth of cholesterol and blood pressure medication

When you pay your $2,350 co-pay for your Copaxone then we will send you your twenty dollars worth of cholesterol and blood pressure medication…

When you pay your $2,350 co-pay for your Copaxone then we will send you your twenty dollars worth of cholesterol and blood pressure medication…

When you pay your $2,350 co-pay for your Copaxone then we will send you your twenty dollars worth of cholesterol and blood pressure medication…” ETC… on a robo call!

Most people without knowledge of how this works would say, “Well, girl, just pay it!”

Sadly, I cannot and will not since I have fit the criteria for years for this co-pay to be paid by a third party and in previous years before becoming a once again insured gal and even so I still meet their very tight criteria and I had never seen a bill or was asked for any money what-so-ever!

It is the co-pay for my Copaxone for the Multiple Sclerosis, which is for a three month supply only, which would be $9400 in just the co-pay for the year, the medication, is over $6K a month out of pocket if I had to pay for it. Not many people could or would or should have to pay for this stuff that has kept my MS stable for the last two MRI’s and being on it now for three years!

The issue is with the specialty drug company, Accredo, who is the one handling the medication, previously it was with Walgreen’s Specialty that handled it and I never heard a word about money! I have no idea why they put me through this since I have been with them since last January. With Walgreen’s they would call when I needed it and then when it was to be delivered and that was that; with Accredo at first they only sent a months’ supply until I protested explaining we live in a hurricane area and could possibly have to evacuate and so finally they, on these last two orders, have been for three whole month’s supply!

But now this aggravation and by the time I got a person to talk to in New Mexico with Express Scripts, Ricky, he said that I had to speak with Accredo, but they called me, Express Scripts that is, I didn’t call them. He switched me over to Sharon in Tennessee with Accredo! After I waited for over a half an hour for her, as it is I had to keep pushing buttons to speak to Ricky, a live person! Who handled my wrath very nicely I might add.

All Sharon could tell me, like Ricky, is that she understood and realized why I was so upset, but that she could let them know and send them a message to take care of it and that they should get back to me.

But no time frame was given and I am more than sure I will have to call tomorrow, again, like I have had to every month since being with them…You see, I just received my Copaxone last Thursday and with the holiday and all I believe that is why they have not yet received payment from the Assistance Fund who is my angel for this!

If I didn’t have my doctor’s appointment for today, with all the wonderful news, yep, my cholesterol total is 180 and my HDL even went up as it should do, all right, my triglycerides are still a bit too high, but I’m working on that, my A1c is down to 5.8 from 6.1 which still is considered diabetic according to the new standards, i.e. anything over 5.4 is considered one… had to change in time for me, NOT FAIR, used to be over 7.0!

But it went down and the doctor was willing to get rid of one of her prescribed meds for me and lower the dose on another, but I will have to have more blood work in three months just before that three month visit, and then this ridiculous call while eating our early dinner!

How to ruin a not too bad day!

And so that is why this doctor reordered three, for a ninety day supply of each, of my four medications that had no refills and it was just as well, since one of the three has been cut in half dosage wise… and that is how we arrived in this aggravating situation all due to a doctor who does exactly what she promised, but the drug company that I deal with screws it all up!

It has made me physically ill and in fact while writing this I had to go lie down for a bit…but I felt I couldn’t do it with me taking basically the other night off… even though it is the Jewish New Year and I also felt the need to wish a Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends and relatives out there!

And so on that note of hope for the New Year too be less stressful, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to 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!

Update: This just in 9:02 A.M. 9-5-13: The co-pay of $2350 was actually paid yesterday afternoon and they did not have to put me through any of this! Now they will be sending out my other medications!
