Quit worrying about catching up. If there is something you really need
to know. We can always start a new thread just for things Kay really
needs to know. Just so you are kept in the loop.

Maybe every time one of us has something like this goes on we should do
this. Because we always worry that we will miss something.

Donna

Just keep taking care of you!
Don't worry about us.

It is your time to heal and just

accept our support and love.
And hugs of course!!!!

Kay,

It's great hearing from you.

Do not worry about catching up.


We care that you are on the mend.

Thank you, ladies

I still don't know what the hell I'm doing all day lol
But I know I have not cleaned anything and have not scooped out the cat boxes, at least not yet...

I haven't had ANY diarrhea today!!!
I'm still in pain, but not enough to warrant taking a Dilaudid, so right now I'm just taking Tylenol. I checked the bottle, and I guess I still have 10 out of the 30 Dilaudid left that I was prescribed when I was discharged, so I don't think there's a risk of me running out if I do end up needing it.

I bought something from Amazon, and it's supposed to be delivered by their carrier service. They rang the buzzer at 8:30 this morning when I was still in bed. I got an "action needed" email, and the same message on the orders section of my account, but there was no apparent way of clearly rectifying the problem. The way things are set up, I couldn't figure out how to schedule them to redeliver it until I finally found a way to chat with someone who had a live person (who was rude) call me and reschedule the delivery for tomorrow sometime between 8am and 8pm... If I'm up, with my luck I'll probably be on the toilet.

I'd stick an note on the door, please be patient with me. I'm hear.
I just had surgery and need to spend time in bathroom. Please
hang a couple minutes. And I'll get to door as soon as I can.

If they can't do that, then tell them what time Corey will be
home and that is when to come back.

I never thought of leaving a note, Donna. But I would leave out the BR info because of my neighbors. Like most delivery companies, at least around here, these people will not come back to try to redeliver your package the same day (the rep. I talked to yesterday said they wouldn't).

Yesterday's experience makes me leery of ordering from Amazon anytime soon. I'm afraid I'll get their carrier service again. At least with the post office and UPS, I have SOME idea of when they will come around. Honestly, I'm afraid to order ANYTHING online right now because I may be indisposed when packages arrive for delivery. It stinks because I do a lot of/most of my shopping online and Christmas is coming soon.


I guess it's not safe to shower until they deliver the package or Corey comes home, whichever comes first But I don't think I will be stuck in the BR all day today!

I did so well during the day yesterday, but the D started up again in the evening into the night before bed (despite taking the Imodium), but it wasn't quite as bad as it has been in days past. I hope that means things are improving, and will continue to improve.

I had a really rough time during/after a trip to CVS. I think maybe I walked too much and/or too fast? And I know that when I got back into the car I sat down too hard. I had thought about driving myself, but Corey drove me instead. I'm glad he did because otherwise it may have been a one way trip lol. It was a rude awakening. I'm more fragile than I thought I was. I needed a couple hours' rest with my legs up after just that. WOW.

During open enrollment, I decided to upgrade my Medicare Advantage Plan, but stay with the same company so I wouldn't lose any of my doctors or pdoc. I just have so many medical problems, and the cost of my care is so high, spending the extra money every month made sense to both of us.
Yesterday a rep from my insurance company called to tell me that next year, coverage of my Tysabri treatments would be changing, and if I stayed on my current plan, I would have a 20% copay, which would amount to $1,100 per treatment (each month)!!! Immediately I thought I would no longer be taking Tysabri, but I guess that I have a $0 copay per treatment on the new plan I chose. I guess we made a good decision

Wow, Kay

That is a great change. I'm glad you figured that out.

And you will get your strentgh back as soon as you should.
Yes, that is the right word.

Donna

awesome about your insurance change!
Keep asking for help and please don't over do it.
You are fragile.
((((HUGS))))

I didn't go to the BR at all yesterday!
That is a good thing as long as it doesn't go on too long.

Yesterday I f'ed myself up doing things I shouldn't be doing. I'm in a lot of pain, and I hope it's just from overdoing it, and it's nothing serious. I considered taking a Dilaudid, but don't like the idea of taking it again for several reasons, so it's still just Tylenol for me for now. I may reconsider... IDK.

I have a pdoc appointment scheduled for Wednesday. I'm probably not going to be ready to drive (at least that far) by then, so I will have to call Monday to reschedule.

yay!!!!!!
