Praises!

Mom had her cancer surgery yesterday. She’s now recovering in the hospital, and all went well!

Her doctor is very confident that they got everything, and the laproscopic procedure was uncomplicated. She’ll go home in a day or two to finish healing.

Final lab results will be back next week, but not a concern.

Praise the Lord for healing and mercy!

Ponderings…

After a lot of trouble getting connected, I finally went over to the mobile health clinic run by the pastor of our sister church, Kendall Brazilian. This was just a screening appointment, and I filled out an application to be sent to the County to qualify for free services.

Since I have been suffering, the doctor was kind enough to write me a prescription for my migraine medicine, to hold me over until I can actually be seen.

So I quickly headed over to my local pharmacy to fill it. Let me walk you through the result:

Fill: New (Self-explanatory, I hope)
Insurance: AMPLN (This is my AmeriPlan discount card, not insurance. It saved me $36.71!)
Quantity: 6 (Yeah, only 6. It’s 1 or 2 per headache, and they are closely guarded)
Status: Picked Up, Date Filled: 5/25 (Yeah…)

And… Did you catch that…

OUCH!

At $27.38 per pill, the stress of taking one is enough to give me a migraine!

It’s a non-formulary drug, so even when I’ve had various insurance overthe last two decades it wasn’t covered at all, or they paid a small percentage.

But it’s the only thing that works…

A lot of time and appeals for “medical necessity” have sometimes yielded fruit.

Hmmmm… What do you think my odds are of getting the military insurance to pay for it when Wolf is full-time active during his training?
