It is good to hear the doctor was reassuring, Pix. His office should be able to give you a letter of medical necessity, but it would be nice if you didn't have to argue about it.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

The status is NOT quo.
I don’t have to argue about it, but I do have to pay a $50 copay. Sigh. Between ND’s meds and mine, we’re up to $200+ a month just in copays.

Well the snow is supposed to clear off by the time I get off work. So, I guess that's good.

Pix, I'm glad the pain has passed. Hopefully the insurance pain will too.
Safe travels to everyone who is traveling!

I've been there, and that truly sucks. I'm sorry.

I woke up to my first snow!~ [link]
I haven't been out in it yet, but I'm getting out there in a minute to take out the trash ( forgot to do it last night).
Will says it's good snowball making snow. He told me after I called him with several silly questions.

Tim's insurance has a $20 copay for generic drugs -- unless they're "mental health" drugs, even if they're generic. The "mental health" drugs, even generic, are $40. Ritalin is included in that. And starting next year, his insurance is putting a cap on how much Ritalin can be prescribed to a patient in a given month, even it the cap is under what the doctor prescribes, because it's what the patient fucking NEEDS to function.
I'm so rageful about that, I still can't come up with a rant.

Fucking health care rationing and non doctors making health care decisions/mandates.

Well, sure. I mean, can't Tim just decide to have better mental health and decide to not have ADD? PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY PEOPLE!!!

Health insurance is just a crutch and stifles initiative and keeps people from going out and finding good health.
edit: They could go out and be janitors--but that would take jobs away from the children.
