Yeah, that's right, I misplaced a bottle of Revatio, which is just a polite alternative name for Viagra, which I take for pulmonary hypertension. I know you're thinking, yeah, sure, Ginny...
Anyway, in my chaotic daily life as mom/chauffeur/really bad housekeeper, I somehow came up short about 40 Revatio pills. It's silly - I think I had them in the car one day, I think I threw away an empty (but was it?) bottle another day. So I called the specialty pharmacy to replace the missing medication, and found out my monthly supply of 90 pills would normally cost $900 !!!!!
Insurance pays for it, except for a $20 co-pay. Wow. I guess our insurance company rep was having a good-karma day because they decided to pay for my replacement stuff. I'm just a bit embarrassed cuz who's going to believe that I lost my Viagra...
Halloween's coming up. So is my birthday! LittleK wants to use her lion suit from 2 years ago, and T just wants to be a black cat. We found a panda suit for R's costume. I'll be the oxygen lady.
Speaking of oxygen, Lincare has set me up with a portable liquid O2 system. It just means that the little bag on my shoulder is much lighter, the supply lasts longer (8hrs), and it makes a loud PUFF noise when I inhale. The girls say it sounds like I'm spitting. The metal tanks are heavier, last about 4 hours, and only make a tiny 'click' when I breathe in.
T had her presentation today, about Chief Joseph. She (and I) made a poster, wrote out 9 facts on index cards, practiced, and argued over what to wear. She does well speaking in front of the class - this year it's just harder to understand her because she's mithing tho many teeth.
....laundry, dishes, messes beckon...
