Prescription Medications

Geoff picked up my prescription for post-op tonight and I was really suprised to find out the price of the stuff. Thank God for benefits!!! I only had to pay 20% of the following prices:

(Dispensing Fee of $11.99 included)

Omeprazole - $253.99
Metoprolol - $ 24.12
Lovenox - $ 57.09
(Lovenox may be required as blood thining agent as per Surgeon's instruction)

All prescriptions must be filled in Canada and to be left at the hotel in the states until required.

6 Days to Go - Frustration is Growing Stronger

Today I'm probably as frustrated as anyone can be. On a positive note, my fever finally broke last night, but I was up most the night with cramps in my abdomen. My son Brodie is also very ill and it's hard when I feel as ill and can't help him as much. He's a good boy though and he's toughing it out pretty well. We're both getting plenty of rest and drinking lots of fluids. Not much the doctor can do at this point since it's only viral. Pretty much have to let it run it's course. Dr. Geoff of course instructed both of us to stay in bed and make sure to get lots of rest.

I'm not much of a TV watcher and most of the shows on during the day are stupid Soap Operas. Rather a waste of time when you can still follow the show from when I was a teenager. It's still the same old, who's sleeping with who, who's baby is it and who's going to inherit the pot kind of story lines. Then there's only so much Wheel of Fortune and Price is Right that you can watch before you really think you'll be sucked in by either wheel! Not even sure why I have the satellite dish anymore, except for NCIS and Reba, there isn't much worth watching anymore.

Brodie and I have been watching some older movies and just passing out for naps here and there. We have the kleenex boxes going on empty quite often but we're making sure to take our Tyleno Flu medicine. It helps a bit I guess. I have 5-6 days left to get better. All I can do is pray.

Cheers for now.
