My protest for the day. At the Docs at 8 a.m. She wants me to take a larger booster dose of the drug I am already on. Meaning a double dose of the booster and the XZeljanz. SO, my insurance will not pay for the Xzeljanz, or they will only pay about $2300 of the $5,100 cost per month. The booster is about $700. They will pay for that. I have been living on drugs given to me by a friend who could not tolerate the drug. The company that makes Xzeljanz will help you pay for said drug if your income is low enough. Mine is low enough but paperwork and taxes must be done for the year. I left the office with $25,000 worth of Zeljanze or a 5 month's supply. Enough to get me through until the drug company agrees to help with costs. That is a relief, but I also may have to go off drug in three months. It is a waiting game at this point. So, we will cross that bridge when it comes. I am so grateful for the Drug reps that leave these supplies with the doctors.
I was able to get both my dresses ready yesterday, one bride just tried on and I can finish that up today.
My day will be busy. I made up a sheet cake, last night, for a funeral for the church, I did not know the brother who passed. My buddy was to make a salad, but when she called, I told her not to as I had too many salad fixings in fridge (thank you Sissie), so I threw together a nice, tossed salad and ran those to the church this morning. Gee two trips out of the house before 10 that is somewhat of a record.
I am making 4 batches of strawberry jam to get the frozen berries out of the freezer that I froze last fall. I had to go buy 2 boxes of certo. But I figure that will make 24 pints of jam and then I must do a couple batches of blueberry. I also roasted 5 whole chicken legs, and I need to pull off the meat and boil the bones. Sissie was saying," how can you do all this and sew?" Well, I can't but I need to let chicken cool, and the strawberries have to defrost. I can have many plates in the air at one time.
So, my first line of work after this blog is to get that chicken off the bone and get a pot simmering for the bones and then I will sew.
Sissie is taking Lil Sis and I out to dinner tonight. I am looking forward to that. Have not gone out for almost a month now.
I am off to get things done by golly.
God is good
Kim
