Unfortunately, this is a fairly new drug, so a generic version won't be made for another 1-3 years. On the positive side, DH's specialist was actually one of the doctors who was in on the testing, before it was approved by the FDA, and he says this is one drug that is a real winner.
We'll manage, but it reminds me that when my Dad was still alive, and his heart medications were getting crazy-expensive, he'd order them from Canada. If this ends up being a budget-breaker, I am planning to contact the manufacturer directly to see if we can get a discount, as DH's insurance helps some, but doesn't totally take care of the "sting" on the price.

Good Morning Kids! If I'm not here much today, don't worry, as I'm getting that surgery done near my eye in the early afternoon, and I don't know what I'll be feeling like when I get back home. Keep those prayers & positive thoughts coming!

Can we finally be done with this blasted summer heat pretty please. Once again we will be in the high 90s for a couple of days and I've had it. ">
Last week we were in the mid-70s and that is how it should be this time of the year IMO

I made it thru, and am back home again. (I'm always impressed when surgeons are on time, as many times over the years family members have had different surgeries, and they often run hours behind schedule.) Due to the eye drops & injections, my vision is all fuzzy on the eye that was worked on, so I'm going to go take a nap, & see if things are better when I wake up. Thankful to be done!

Ugh! Now things are getting a bit tricky. It appears my eye (not the incision area) is reacting to all of the drugs I was given before surgery. My eye feels like it does when you have a hair, or an eyelash stuck underneath your lid, but I'm getting that sensation all over that eye. DH picked up some moisturizing drops to help, but have any of you dealt with something like this? My eye is very uncomfortable, and watering off & on so much that it's still difficult to see out of. Praying I can get some sleep tonight, because I've discovered I can't even take a nap right now. Hopefully tomorrow things will be better.

busymom hope you were able to get some sleep. We are into the final countdown to go live on the big project. Tomorrow night I will spend the night at DD's in my trailer since I need to be into work at 5am on Saturday. I actually wanted to be into work earlier but boss said nope not before 5am.

Mornin Muffins! OMK, I worried so much about my cataract surgery, until I had it and found out how simple it was.
Busy, give it a little time and it should get better.

Good Morning Kids! Doing better this morning, but I did get up early to go see the surgeon. She irrigated my eye, and gave me some different eye drops, but, again, it wasn't the incision that was bad, apparently my eye didn't like some of the drugs used during my surgery. The incision is healing nicely, but my eye looks like I got into a fight (red, with a swollen upper lid). Good luck ken a.k.a OMK! My IL's have had cataract surgery, and they thought it all went smoothly.

Good Morning Kids! We made it to Friday! We're back to having a heat wave here. I'm a bit tired of record heat, and would really like some "real" Fall temps.

According to the powers that be, we have been breaking/tying records the whole month of September. I'm ready for the 10 days of winter at this stage - but thank you for A/C!!

Well, after reaching 103* on Wednesday, temperatures dropped dramatically yesterday and they will continue to fall for the next few days until they reach "unseasonably low" temperatures by Tuesday.
I love the cooler weather (unseasonably low isn't really cold, just down in the 60s) but can someone just make up their mind and stop this craziness

Thank you Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I've often said life is like watching a heartbeat monitor. Full of ups & downs. Just do your best to ignore the "downs" and appreciate those times when life is good, or at least peaceful.

Hello to all the best peeps on the planet (this planet or any other!) Goodness, y'all have a ton of stuff going on! Same here; October and November and early December are packed at this point. Trying to simplify as much as possible at this point, and hoping for no bumps in the road. Which means there will be some. Like our A/C died Thursday. Fortunately, it was a minor fix (algae in the drain line had to be flushed out. Buncha little buggers, they are). I am racing tomorrow, so will be here late. Dinner is fish and a salad tonight, with DH getting a baked potato with his. I am doing laundry and chores today, so as to avoid them tomorrow, though I will wash my car when I get back.

Good Afternoon Kids! I've gotten behind in housework & paperwork due to my minor surgery, so I'm trying to get caught up. We might be having fish for dinner here too, NancysSummerSip. I guess brilliant minds think alike.

I guess brilliant minds think alike. The fish store was super crazy, so we were not the only ones. And stone crab season is coming -- it opens 10-15-19, so those fabulous morsels will be in stores the next day.

Unfortunately, DH is allergic, so that's off the menu for us. (One of these days, I'm going to visit one of the local restaurants with a friend, just so I can have some shellfish.)

Deciding to spend last night down at DD's was the best decision ever. I was up at 4am checking on the project and discovered some bad data. It was nice to have just half the commute time. We got the project done, I'm home and I'm tired. I keep saying it's done but we will go into phase II very soon so it really isn't over. I do only have to work next week and then I have an entire week off, it is greatly needed.

Wow, ners! Are folks still taking vacations in your area? Guess you get a bit of a break today. Good Afternoon Kids! We did t.v. church today, as I'm still not back to normal after surgery. We're still hotter than normal here. Doesn't look like the temps are going to change much either. The weatherman said the other night that approximately 2/3 of the days of September, the temps were higher than average. Still waiting for "average" weather to arrive.

Hello peeps! Got home at about 12:30 after the race and breakfast with a friend. Took a second place in the double age group category (60-69) so I am quite happy with that. It bodes well for next week's 10K, I think. I am waiting for it to cool down and get shady before I wash the car. Also need to throw in one more load of laundry. Dinner is sliced steak and sweet potatoes.
