It’s been an interesting week from many perspectives. (Graphic above from Designs.AI’s Illustrator. It reminds me of my Dialysis nurse for some reason.)
- Our Granddaughter, who lives in the Seattle area, visited
- I got tangled up in ExpressScripts bureaucratic nightmare.
- My Fresenius Liberty Cycler continues, on a random basis, to illicit drain alarms and, this week, one fill alarm. For the past 15 nights, seven have had no alarms (47%), and eight have had alarms (53%). Disregarding the fourth and last drain, when I am always up and moving about, 15X3=45 possible drain alarms, of which I have experienced 10, or 10/45=22%. So more than half of the time I go to bed, my sleep is interrupted by Cycler alarms. Remember that Fresenius’ tech support is oblivious to this fact, telling me to shut off the alarms as a “fix.” What BS!
- I can’t seem to articulate to my GP’s script person that I want all scripts written for a 90-day supply. Why is this so difficult to understand?
- At one point, our Fresenius stock was up $5.00 per share from our by-in price. Not too shabby.
- My GP script person sent a prescription to CVS for a Libre 3. But it was sent in for three, not six, covering 90 days, more or less. My CVS app shows they have been working on it since 4/13/2023. Why is it that I can buy direct from HealthWarehouse.com, which I am, and receive Libre 3s like clockwork, but the large government-contracted agencies cannot? What’s wrong with this picture?
- I have a normal monthly meeting next Thursday with my Dialysis Team. I’ll share my going-in discussion points with you next week.
- Our goose eggs hatched with six little ones that have been seen paddling around in our local ponds. Life does go on, even on Dialysis!
I used AI to generate the feeser.me ad is shown below, which I then posted to Facebook and Linkedin. Enjoy what AI can do for you if you can 🙂
