Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally remember.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ok - just talked with mom and she said that Medi-Cal WILL pay for anti-rejection meds if Medicare hasn't kicked in yet. She said it is not uncommon for them to make it sound like they won't, because they would much rather have Medicare pay the bill - but they are obligated to cover ALL transplant related costs until Medicare kicks in.
So push the social worker, or whoever is giving you that information. If a liver comes available for her, you don't want to pass the opportunity.

That is tremendous news, Suzi.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Sean - I'm nearby-ish. (Not to steal javachik's thunder, though.) Can I bring you anything? Actually - I know Specialty's will deliver to CPMC. Can we send you anything?

Ann, that's a ferret.
My confusion, Sean.
Suzi, you might want to get a citation -- something written for Sean and S to point the social worker to.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
They've brought me a guest tray (mmmmm, gross hospital food....), so I'm good for now, but.....
Gawd, it's so rough. I want to be "self reliant, I need no help" guy, but I'm also thinking that's really stupid, and I need to let that go. I guess it just feels like if I let that go, it will be harder to be strong for S. But it's still stupid and I still need to let it go.
I just don't know what help to ask for.
Still, if javachick, or any of the rest of you need to feel generous, I can't deprive you of that. Call incoming, java.

Fred Pete - I'm looking, but the Medi-Cal site bites at providing information. I'm not seeing anything saying the anti-rejection meds are NOT covered, but I'm also not seeing anything saying they are.
I did find a link to their formulary, so when I get home I'll get a list of mom's anti-rejection meds and see if they are on the list.

Think of it this way: when your basic needs are met, you will be stronger for S.

Pumpkin, if you're not taking care of yourself, it's hard to be strong for other people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sean, think of it as adding our support to the strength you already have. You are holding up amazingly well, and deciding to accept help is very very smart.
