LABOR DAY

Monday morning...........why would we make appointments on Labor Day?  Why would any self-respecting doctor have appointments on Labor Day?  Because he would be out of town on Wednesday!

See primary doctor on Tuesday morning........home care therapist in afternoon............Wednesday home care nurse..........cleaning neighbor............mother's    home care aide...........Thursday home care therapist.

There are the bills, bills, bills, bills, and since we are now on a fixed income these don't come easy!  I pay about 75  dollars for acqua cell for Jack's wounds, one of the nurses used almost a whole sheet the other day!  The sheets are about  5 inches by  5 inches!  I am sure she had no idea!  Perhaps home care will have ordered some by Tuesday.  Our prescription insurance  has passed the limit sometime back and we are now paying full price.  The limit was $2500 I think.....yes we pay a lot for prescriptions.  I take no prescription drugs, seldom anything for pain, and a lot of vitamins usually (when I remember!)

But this is the beginning of a new day.....PEACE!

 The reality of home care.  I had no idea that the acqua cells were that high.  Working in the hospital we have no idea what anything costs.  That is bad for the patients I think.
