Fuzzy's Romp Room

Crog, I found some corduroy pants at K mart that had pretty wide legs. Inexpensive also. If that doesn't work, ask someone who sews to make you a couple of pairs. Elastic waist pants take almost no time to make.

Granny will ride with you for Rider

Veggy, the heaven of water running down your body HMMMMM.

Not saying that this is happening to you, yours was a medical reason not to shower. When I was feeling depressed I wouldn't shower. It's fairly classic,  but have improved progressively for months.

Everyone dealing with pain control, I will link to a thread I did some work on. GG I thinK? it was you taking codiene. Consider a different drug, Please.

Oxycodone is the word to describe the short acting form of the drug. Oxycontin is the form of the drug that is the long acting form of the drug, but it is oxycodone. More addicting than morphine. On this link there are some posters that described that you can't get addicted blah blah bblah. They site either national sources or personal anecdotal information. Any narcotic ,benzodiazapines, ultram can be additing (physical need/ habituating psychological dependence. BUT when we need them what do we do. Monitor use religiously. Keep a calendar with use marked.

Ginger your insurance co only supplies 4 pills at a time---this is not acceptable (read note a few posts down , then see if any of this applies..

Start at the supervisor at the insurance comapny and work up the chain of command. Also, ask that the Insurance company to assign a nurse navigator/advocate, who directly talks with youi about all your problems as needed and then intervenes with the insurance people . The first problem is your pain med. The doc has prescribed 60 pills. The insurance company has subverted a legally prescribed pain med script from a licensed doc. Report the to the controlling insurance regulator in the state. No chance to correct, make the complaint. That will give the insurance company Constructive Notice(put in writing) that you are serious. They don't straighten out, make a second complaint. The insurance company is interfering in your prescribed care by your doc, causing you mental distress. Your words tell this, this is not facilitating your management of your illness--it's making things worse----No reaction get a lawyer. Even if you have to go through county legal aid. You could even start with a lawyer, that writes the a "Demand Letter to Cease and Desist" interference in your care. HRMPF. I'll check legal info with DS the lawyer and be back. EDIT DS's response was more questions than answers, but said he would get back.

 CROG ((((HUGS))))Our strength here is caring and jumping in with support when someone says they are in trouble.

See below some answers on drugs.

Love ya all

Ds not avaiable--will post when I get my answers. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))sassy

Ginger--whay's the name of the drug? Kadian--It's the only drug taken once every 24 hrs. My pharmacy says it's very expensive. My source says that the insurance company can limit how much is dispensed when there is a high dollar value involved with a drug, but didn't mention what that limit was. My source said the doc can write a letter of medical necessity requesting more to be dispensed and send the letter to the insurance people that do Authorizations.

My opinion, if it is the cost , trying to get two weeks worth would be good. By limiting dispensing on high dollar drugs that may end up not being tolerated and then dc'd is good bussiness. My Aromasin, I just quit, the pharmacy took it back and will dispose of properly AND gave me a 90$ credit(my copay), I was delighted, their cost was several hundred $'s more.

I hated dispening high dollar drugs, the self fufilling fear of dropping or contaminating something. would send my anxiety level way high. First experience with a vial that was 3500$. Whew.

You need to have this work so it reduces your stress and works out to keeping costs down.

GG if codiene works for you, then it works. You could have a consultation over the phone with the pharmasict to dicuss the drugs your on. I have found this beneficial in the past. I know you've been adjusting and it hasn't been easy. When you call, ask for the Parmasict that can best be a Sherlock Holmes in figuiring out response to drugs.

DS checking to see if he can find anything.

The insurance co. should be able to give you a reason for why they are doing what they are doing. Didn't think of dollars when I wrote what I wrote above.

Thanks ladies for all your support. Am home now after treatment and feeling ok, but treatment almost didnt happen. I had bloodwork done yesterday and went this am to see dr before treatment. Neutrophils were down to 1 and they wont do it at less than 1.5. Dr agreed to recheck today and hurray was high enough! Way stressful tho as my move is next tuesday so was panicking when can i have the treatment. But ended all good had chemo and pamidronate today so everything done til im moved.

Veggy-we posted at the same time....

I love miss piggy!

Okay sweetums keep the comments coming re: anyone messing with us. I have an ulterior purpose that can't be diclosed, but need everyones input. Thanks loveys. sassy

If someone came in here attacking my buds here, I'd report them. I might say something to the attacker, but in my experience, that just leads to everyone getting into the fight. And when that happens, I run for the hills. I don't need the stress.

Ya know your up too late when the dog keeps leading you to the bedroom rather that the treat cupboard.

When I have seen someone being chastized by another poster I have responded with my opinion. I really don't think posters are called to police one another and tell others what to post. I don't like it one bit. We are a community not a police state here. That mty friends is my 3 AM opinion. 

Shucks missed you--and insomnia folks went to bed----I guess I'll wander around until the morning posters start. The problem with all nighters is I get screwed up on the day. Listening to the Blues. Just said I so would have loved to live in the time blues was being born in Harlem in the early 1900's and then hit it's prime in the 20' and 30's and on.....I so much love, many things from those years. Art Deco. House of Bauhaus. The beginning of Moderism. It had sooo much style. If youngins had any idea that what they value as new today, is a reintroduction of styles and song that go back generations.

AND what about Brad Pitts advertisement for Chanel #5----OMG---gonna buy the stuff, just cuz. it is the most innovative add in so long. it makes me at least feel---may be I best keep the rest of the thought to myself.

SAS, We used to live in Houston, so did hurricane prep. Good luck with avoiding the necessity to use your supplies. Here, the big problem is earthquakes. They keep telling us to prepare, but where should you keep the food and stuff? If your house is destroyed, you won't have any of that. The animal shelter has plans to put up tent shelters for people's pets. The animal would get a collar and the owner a matching bracelet. When people had to evacuate for the forest fires, they used the rodeo arena for cattle, goats, and sheep. The vets and boarding facilities housed people's cats and dogs.

Just about everyone has responded to my question. There was a very serious purpose, but not at liberty to say what it was. I thank you for giving your thoughts even though you didn't know why. You just trusted that I had a need Cool. That's friendship and trust.

Wren we had 3 earthquakes when I was in Akron Ohio. The ironic funny thing about the last one was __I was on a committee for internal disaters, developing a interhospital plan for transshippment/division of patients to other facilities if a hospital was incapicitated for some reason. One morning, I said "We need an earthquake plan" Thinking I was going to meet resistance. Someone else replied "Yeah the one we had last night shook me up"

Anyone interested on thoughts re Storm for those riding it out. I've put done some suggestions in a response to granny on Bonfires. Rather than figuring out where I posted what I'm just going to keep adding to that if more thoughts come.--Sorry, used to do disaster stuff---being OCD as usual.
