We now only need to go to Benson for his blood drawn once a week for his blood thinner readings.
Nice, I don't like going to Tucson. Also we can see the 2nd heart surgeon at the Benson Hospital next month.

This means I have more time now for the messageboard.

Well, you knew it wouldn't be all good news.

More down time is always good news!!
I like it here.
I was getting a little haggered around the edges there from all the running around I had to do.

Peach here is the reason why you might be a little "haggard"... Stay out of those Big Cities...

This is what I felt like over the past 4 weeks.
Going to Benson some days,2 or three times a day, three days out of the week to Tucson, taking about 4 hrs. each day.

Big city? Tucson? Well, if you live in BFE or Podunk then I guess Alamogordo would be considered a big city..........

Benson has about 5,000 population
We live 10 miles outside of Benson.
We joke and say we live in Timbuktu.

Trinidad CO had about that many people and those who lived outside of town thought Trinidad was a small city, Pueblo was huge, Colorado Springs gigantic and don't even mention Denver........

Spent two hours on the phone trying to find a doc for Dennis. Medi-cal is supposed to be state wide for CALIFORNIA fercrissakes, but nope. Thats too easy. Each county has different rules. So, he has to re apply, get off medi cal from slo county, re apply for butte county. Then, we have to split the food stamp allotment because dennis lives here, and on paper, I live there. So I keep the food stamp card for one person now...me...and he has to apply for one person...him...all over again too.

I am in a totally grumpy mood.

Just some random thoughts while I wait for something more constructive to do...

The Westminster Kennel Club snubbed Daisy the Mutt again this year. She is feeling peevish about that as she always wanted to travel to Manhattan and strut her stuff.

Mom had an uneventful night. The overly persistent pan handlers seem to be discouraged for now.

My daily walks through the park are filled with considerably more sunshine as the evening wears on. Five weeks from Monday last will be the Vernal equinox and another attempt at standing an egg on end will be made.

This coming weekend is the President's Day weekend giving me and my fellow government employees a chance to get stuff done on a week day and, perhaps hit the snooze button several times.

Is that Daisy in your avatar?

It does wear you down. Going to the nursing home every day if you have a loved one there. Going to the hospital every day if you have someone there. Or going to doctor's appointments, getting tests done, dropping off or picking up prescriptions, etc. You don't really realize how stressful and hard work it is until you realize you are exhausted when you haven't really been doing anything to get you that way. Except that you have.

I hear that. My aunt has Barrett's Esophagus syndrome which can be very dangerous if not properly treated and for her, the treatment was Nexium that just worked better for her than Prilosec or the generic omeprazole. So this month Medicare advises her that they will no longer cover Nexium. So what does she do? Pay the $300/month out of pocket cost for it or switch to the less expensive Prolosec (omeprazole) or die? That seems to be her options.

Government is simply inexplicable at times.

Ahh the Chicks on the Right... I really am not that familiar with them but I have seen and listened to them a few times... I just don't listen to talk radio all that much now days, but the mere mention of the powerhouse call letters WIBC 1070 am bring back fond memories back... For 30 years WIBC had a great format with local News and Talk while leaning to an Agriculture... From 0600 to 1800 you could heat the station from 100 miles away... The talent was treated like family where ever they went in Indiana... After listening to Vice President Pence for 3 hours everyday back 20 years ago, makes you feel like you could loan 5 bucks to him without a problem at all...

As far as The Giggleweeds, I grew up listening to my dad use the name for just about every place we lived...

Have her call Nexium themselves. They might be able to assist with the cost. There are other organizations that do it as well.

She can have her doctor talk to them and bug them and tell them that she needs that medicine and they will cover it. Tell her to talk to her PCP about it.

If she decides to go that route, and her doctor can't fix the situation, we will do that. She is hardly destitute and can actually afford the $300/month BUT it is irritating to pay good money for your supplemental healthcare and go from a $5/month copay to $300/month.

I can understand that the insurance companies don't want to pay for Nexium when the much less expensive omeprazole is rated just as good or better for most GERD and other digestive issues. But. . . .

Notice she is laying upon pillows. She is waiting for me to rub her belly. Waiting patiently.

I went shopping with my mom and my aunt today. Good Lord! I know they can't help it, but they are so slow! Every time I go shopping with them, I have to leave my carriage with an attendant and go looking for those two in the grocery store! Lol! I don't get angry or anything. I'm just like "where are they and what could they be doing for all this time??" They are just a couple of really slow moving ladies! I'm like the total opposite. I can't wait to be done and get out of there! It's too crowded.
