Got home from my mother's after doing her laundry, and Boots met me at the door, circling around his food tray. That meant he wanted some chicken. So I got it out and sliced off a bit, and then cut it up into small pieces. Then I checked my messages on the phone message machine.
Dr. White had left a message with the triage nurse that I'm to keep wearing compression stockings until my next appointment with him, which is in mid-July. Guess I'll buy another pair at the pharmacy so I have one pair to wash and one to wear.
Tomorrow I'll work on my article on the Shopko remodeling and get it sent in. Sunday, taking my mother out to eat. She wants to do this every Sunday, and it makes a nice break.
She said we'd work out the expense of medications next year. I have to talk to DHS about how the Medicaid for Employed Persons with a Disability will end come December. Not sure I trust Tara to know what she's doing, but that's just the way it goes. Will call in for an appointment so I can finally meet her. Also have to get Medigap insurance when MEPD ends.
The expense of all of this is making me anxious, so I need to calm down about it. Something will work out. The blood thinner - Plavix - costs $138 a month. Plus all the others. Can pay for it myself and not run it through insurance, according to pharmacist. Will get costs of all medications from pharmacy to make sure I'm under the $2,450 that triggers paying for all medications myself until it reaches $5,000. OK for 2007, because of MEPD.
Well, that's enough stewing. Am mainly pissed off about the TIA. I don't like thinking about all the things that are wrong, as I don't like to think of myself as having poor health.
