Pills to Arrive on Monday

After several phone calls the new chemotherapy pills (Xeloda) will arrive on Monday via UPS.  They have to be signed for so I will stay home that day.  That won’t be a problem, I’m a homebody anyway.

I was told my insurance, Medicare, was refusing them at first.  It was a week ago today that the Dr. put in the request.  Each time I get these pills I have to answer questions about my status. 

Questions such as “do you live in a nursing home”, “are you in an assisted living facility”, “do you receive assistance in your home” etc.  I think I would not get the pills approved if I answered yes to any of those questions. 

I understand that they want to spend their money on people who can benefit from it.  I told them I lived alone with two dogs and the only help I had was someone to mow my lawn. 

It rained a lot in the night so I didn’t have to water things today.  I went over to the antique barn for a while this afternoon.  They were very busy since they were having a sale.  It was nice to see the customers coming and going – going with packages! 

I might even have to take some more stuff over there….

later….
