I love my GP! He keeps tabs on my medical team (or keeps them in line sometimes, lol), and looked at all the stuff I've been through recently. No fuss, no muss, no visit to him - his office is calling a Rhumey for me to get me checked out. So just waiting for that office to call now.

Good afternoon! Time to get busy and truly clean up the house. The weather is beautiful here! Doors open and fresh air, nothing better.

to all.

Afternoon all! Well I got my cardio in for the day. I planted a tree this morning. Time will tell if I planted something live and it continues to live. It is a Redbud DH brought home from work on Monday. It doesn't have much of a root system and they weren't covered all that well with dirt in the pot either. The leaves are dull and curled. Me thinks the roots dried out too much.

I'm looking at a very long to do list. Better get to it.

well ... here's some good news:

my GP's nurse did some research on the Wisconsin's new healthcare program about it's coverage for Copaxone (and you all know that it's quite a chunk of change! .. even at 50% or 95%, I couldn't do it) ... she called and left me a message that it would be a $5 co-pay / month ...

so, I just got done filling out the online ap ... and may even get last month's medical bills covered from the time I went to the ER!! wouldn't that be sweet?

Had a decent day. Classes went well. About 10 students were missing from a 40 student class. More cases of H!NI? Or just sleeping in and missing class flu?

okay ... some more good news ...

my case worker at the clinic called back to verify the co-pay .. and I told her that I just finished with the online ap - she asked for the 'tracking number' ... and said that because of my immediate situation - she was shooting an email to the 'head gal' in Madison to process my ap ASAP .. and I may learn of the approval of the BadgerCare Insurance by (hold on!!) ... TOMORROW!!

and - I will be able to re-submit my billing from the ER back in August (that was $3000) ..

okay - now to get busy ... this was enough paperwork and phone calls for a day!!

Hi Everybody! Big hugs to all who need them. I keep you all in my prayers.

Today I applied for jobs online for about five hours. No more interviews lined up as of yet. I'm so tired it's crazy. I forced myself to shoot baskets for 20 minutes tonight for my upper body workout and cardio. I made supper tonight too. Tuna salad on rice cakes with melted cheddar, yum!! I had a garden salad and DH had sliced tomatoes. DS had a grilled tuna melt. I'm on a gluten free trial and surprisingly my pains have decreased quite a bit. I don't have more energy though, darn it.

DH is going to try it too because he gets a lot of pain from arthritis. It really hasn't been as hard to do as I thought it would.

Everybody enjoy the rest of the week, hugs all around....

Wiz, good luck with the job hunt!

Vonn, that's great news you found something that could help you out!

Morning all Feeling pretty good.

Last night was our turn off the 'puters and spend time together night. Rented "State of Play", and it was a cool movie with some twists in it.

So sipping my coffee with a few things on my plate to do today. Just relaxing a bit while waking up.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Hi everyone!
Gosh, I love, love, love the weather we've been experiencing here!! I could do this 365!

Vonn, I am soooo glad to hear of your good news! That is surely a blessing!!
Wiz, take it easy, girl...preserve some of that inner energy!

Went to the Cubs game last night...what a stinker. We left after the 7th inning and walked back to the lot where my DH parked (against my advice). We were hemmed in by other cars and had to wait about 40 min. until the other cars left. I wanted to park where we'd just be able to pull out. Lesson learned, I hope

I was really grumpy yesterday...guess I get overwhelmed by everything and my brain goes on overload...getting away, even to watch a carpy baseball game, lifted my spirits, and now I'm ready to seize the day.

Hope everyone has an absolutely wonderful Thursday...only one more until TGIF!

Good morning everyone! Happy Thursday!

Hey did anyone ever have this pain? Its been in my hip as I tend to get
hip pain. But its a weird pain Almost like when you have an
infection and it feels tight. I dont know but it is uncomfortable.

I see my pcp on the 7th and am going to mention it to her. In the meantime,
I am lounging with my hotpack on my hip.

PLeas everyone go and have a great day!
