Thanks for all the fish.

So true. So true.

Do you like the additions? I think that they make Faramir into a real live boy - which is more than the book ever did.

They surely do. It's all about Quality. And seeing the pressure Boromir was under before he even left ... wow. 'It will corrupt lesser men, but you '...

Also, they have the room with the longbottom leaf at Isengard, which as I recall, was there in the book to set up the scouring of the Shire, which is odd, if they aren't doing it.

Thanks for all the fish.

Yeah, but it's a nice bit. And I love that they have the Ent draught and the growing back in.

Oh, and the bit with Aragorn's age. Though his age always bothered me a little. Because you'd think he'd be more self-confident at 80 plus.

I liked the extra Eowyn, except that there was no reason that her stew couldn't be okay.

Except it's funnier if it's not. The growing scene is gold. Mippen have some serious comic timing.

Anything that involves more Eowyn is fine by me. Now is the hour where she cooks stew. She will throw down her enemies, and smite their ruin upon the dining hall floor.

Thanks for all the fish.

Yeah, I adore Eowyn. And I still don't really understand why certain people don't chose her over certain other people.

Have you watched any extras yet?

And, by the way, how are things?

Posting again with the eyes averted...

Elena, my sister uses an albuterol inhaler. She just lost her new one, and she can't really afford to buy another (insurance won't cover another one so soon). How bad is it if she uses my dad's Combivent inhaler (albuterol/ipratropium bromide)? He doesn't really need it, and she'd like to avoid spending the fifty dollars or so right now.

Also, I'm with you on the toothbrush thing. Must remember to get a new one, too.

Thanks for all the fish.

The ipratropium isn't really appropriate for asthma per se. It'll cause a lot of drying in the lungs, and if she doesn't have a lot of secretions to begin with, that may be problematic.

How much does albuterol cost in the US? Up here (we call it salbutamol) it's $16 for an inhaler. Has she checked to see if insurance will cover it given the circumstances?

How often does she need to use it?


Elena - Dec 10, 2003 6:48:09 pm PST #4631 of 6793
Thanks for all the fish.

Okay, I'm sorry, the inhaler will cost $50US? That's fucking insane.

Isn't it just? And no, they won't cover another one in a given time period. She did find an old one with a little left in it, but probably she's just going to have to suck it up and buy another.

Thanks for all the fish.

If she's in a real pinch she can use the Combivent as long as she hydrates really well.

But if she's using the albuterol more than twice a week her asthma is officially uncontrolled and she should be put on a steriod and a long-acting bronchodilator.
