<--told DT about Amy's compliment yesterday, and he blushed
<--just received an awesome Fresh Direct order

Ms. Caffeinepants

Ms. Shoppingpants
 
<---is taking a short break from the nasty specimens in the darkroom to catch up here
<---would love to go shopping with Nancy
<---imagines Nancy has good fashion sense
<---afraid Nancy may shop out of my price range though
<---hopes Michele is enjoying her day of rest from IL's
<---has to go home and make grape juice from basket of grapes DH talked her into buying Sat
<---did notice Amy's signature in my honor and will toast her with the next bottle opened
<---will turn the juice into jelly later on this week
<---wonders if coffee al fresco won out for Carrie or if she is hitting the books
<---tells Carrie you can study outside while sipping coffee, can't you?
<---has to go back to work now
<---later tater gaters
 
<---is using <---'s privilege of ranting and crying
<---will break the <---talk

We now have the meds which work for Lee. Lee is bipolar and for the first time in his 11 1/2 years of life is peaceful, calm, happy; not manic, depressed,suicidal and throwing the whole family into chaos. Insurance co says because we have not "tried" enough other meds first they will not pay for the one med the Dr fortunately hit upon that is Lee's miracle drug because of it's expense. Says 30 pills costs in excess of $400. I can't pay $400 per month for ONE of his drugs along with all the other medical expenses such as copays, not covered dr visits/testing etc, for the whole family. The psychiatrist alone is $125 every other week and paid out of our pocket. So now we're suppose to stop this drug and play with my child's life with other drugs???? I am in tears, distraught and I now have to once again try to fight the damn system. I have too much to do to do this. I just want to love and raise my family, raise and educated my sons.

<---is sorry and will stop now
<---says thanks for listening
 
<--says oh, Mel!
<--shares in Mel's feeling distraught
<--has run into the same problem from time to time and has found that if you get the doctor to call the insurance company and talk to them, he can get a LOT further than you can
<--says the doc should say that this is the ONLY medication that HE feels is appropriate for Lee having known Lee for ______ years
<--says he should even say that Lee's situation is too volatile for him to go thru the trial and error of trying to find something else
<--says at some point, they have to defer to the doc's knowledge of the patient, if nothing else, even if the doc has to tell a few fibs
<--is confident that the word "suicidal" will get the necessary results
<--knows it's not easy to fight the insurance co:( x( :( x(
<--knows they can be the most stubborn SOBs in the universe :(
<--apologizes for trying to offer advice when Mel just wanted to rant
<--tells Mel she is welcome to rant ANY TIME
<--says just ignore <--, as she can't help making obvious suggestions that Mel has no doubt already thought of
<--feels like she has to try to "help" somehow
Ms. NP
 
<--tells Mel to check her email when she has a minute
<--is very sorry for the trouble Mel is having

<--is happy to see Nancy in such a good mood today
<--is glad she is having a relaxing productive day
<--is just LOL at Carrie today!
<--finally got <--pain pills, thank goodness as they were really needed today
<--also saw <--cousin Bobby and his wife this morning and had a nice mini visit with them
<--hopes Amy gets some uniterrupted sleep today adn hopes her DH continues to feel good, or atleast better
<--^^^5's Judy for being so productive
<--is laughing at Shelly's new alarm clock
<--wonders how Sophie gets along with Sadie
<--hopes Tig has a good work day
<--waves to Michele and hopes she gets some relaxin done too
<--wonders what Robin's lab smells like??
<--wonders if Robin has become immune to such lovely smells
<--is going to go outside or something
<--trying to stay positive about life right now
