The Old Folks Home

I hit like just to let people know that I've read their posts and support them! :hugsSometimes it's hard but......

@getaclue, very informative post. Well said and thank you. Yes, if people really want to get picky there is also an alcohol crisis. I took care of babies in the nursery that we couldn't figure out why the newborns were so jumpy. If you bumped their crib they would literally come up off the mattress, little hands in tight fists, red in the face and scream so loud you would flinch.24 hours later mommy dearest, usually in her early 20s would inform us that they had a hangover and had come in drunk when they were in labor.:barnie:eek:

Poor babies were alcohol toxic born to alcoholic mothers and definitely suffering from alcohol syndrome. I've often wondered what the little ones grew up to be.

No matter what it is a no win scenario with pain management. A few rotten apples as the old saying goes.

So I will continue to jump through the hoops along with the other folks suffering from degenerative bone diseases so we can live as normal a life as we can with our pain controlled as much as it can be and hope for the best. I just thank God I have two doctors and a list of diagnosis's that make the hoop not too small or held too high.

Sitting here making Christmas ornaments. Love it!

Found the clear plastic balls at Dollar Tree and have been stuffing them with bantam feathers. Since they are molting, tis a shame to let those feathers go to waste!

The snowflakes were made with my DH's skill with the 3D printer. I'm adding glitter to them. I may be prejudice but I think they are pretty.
Very nice!
 
Your balls are so cool!!! What a fantastic idea. High here today was 20 with roaring winds. We got rain last night and then the temps fell significantly... everything was frozen shut with ice this morning. That was pleasant. Big snowstorm coming Friday. I get my snow tires on in a week.
What's to like about that post???

Snows not on their own rims I take it? Not that you would have time to swap them over before Friday anyway.
 
chicka, since he just had surgery again, and just got discharged, I'd keep the pain meds steady, and on time for at least 3-4 days. Sometimes after a few days, the pain subsides enough you can stretch them out. In the meantime, I'd be getting in touch with the doctor, and the insurance company. I've found that more often that not, a phone call to the insurance company can achieve the desired results. I'd also be talking to the pharmacy. If it's a pharmacy policy that they won't fill more than a week at a time, I'd be looking into another pharmacy. Work the phones.

I called the Dr. yesterday and they called me back today. They will give dh a weekly prescription for pain and muscle relaxers for a period of time.
I called the Pharmacy and they told me that BC/BS has sent them a letter stating that as of Jan 1 2019 they will no longer pay for any pain meds. It will be up to the patient to pay for them out of pocket. They said that other insurance companies will likely follow suit.
So there it is.
 
Oh they'll be just fine. The storm ends before 5 pm.
We show the storm starting Thursday night around 7 and tapering off but still have a 50% chance of snow until 10 PM Friday and 30% until 10 AM Saturday when it might go above freezing and we get rain until about 4 PM then 30% chance of snow again until Sunday at 6 AM. Could be around 5" total It better stay halfway decent after that, DD2 and I are flying to So. Cal (no, not where the nasty fires are) in the early afternoon.
