~Chargin My Chair~


Ive noticed lately that I have had to charge my chair
more frequently. So either I am rolling more or my
charger isnt giving a full charge. I usually put the
charger on it when I go to bed, and let it charge up
all night.. The guy when he came to put in these new
batteries.. well its almost a year now, he said to put
the charger on it for the night and that should do
it.. That a full charge should last for at least 3 days.
But I guess it does matter how much you use it
every day, and I guess ive used mine more lately
maybe.. I dunno .. as long as I'm charged is all that
matters... That manual chair just wears me out...

I did call my insurance lady, Deborah at HPM. I seem
to have a problem with my prescriptions again.. This
drug store up here says I cant get my meds for free
anymore, that only 2 are covered by my insurance. SO
that meant more calls. I guess now I have medicare,
which I thought I had both all this time, but some
thing has changed and I only got 2 of my pills filled
one was my thyroid.. I guess the heart and blood
pressure ones and my nitro I will have to pay for,
that is not possible.. so I shall do with out those
pills..


I got a notice in the mail that I now have medicare,
if I want the part B I will have to pay a premium
from what I understand of it.. Well that puts me
right back to my same problem- I don't have extra
for an insurance premium any more than I do for a
rent increase OR to pay for pills.... I seem to have
MORE problems than anyone I know.. and I have
NO idea why but I do.. I get so very discouraged.
I had hoped I wouldn't hear any sort of bad stuff
yesterday as I hate to carry problems over into the
week end... Erica, the nurse says "TRY to avoid stress
Lois".. Ya, sure ok.. how can I when so many things go
belly up for me? Having to deal with pill problems
again.. I should have just left everything as it was..
Deborah said she would find out what I should do
about this medicare and medicaid stuff on Monday,
So I just have to put it out of my head and try not
to think about it TILL then.. knowing me, that will
NOT happen...

What IS gonna happen though is that I'm gonna post
this, and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna go watch
TV and finish charging up this chair.. I sure hope I
am not going to have problems with it.. that's ALL I
need.. :-) SO.. its warning time.. "I SHALL return!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks..
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you Friend..
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Hello Lois
    Always something to keep us praying... just keep on trusting in the Lord for Help.
    Had a great time with Michael today, he help me clean a little of the upstair...any amount helps...we pick up a pizza at the pizza hut after getting the water at wal mart...that way we were able to share some with Bob...it been a long time since we had a pizza hut pizza here. And it was so good.
    The weather here has been on the cool side.
    Picking up Patsy at the airport Sunday afternoon, she hurt her left knee in the plane on Tuesday she was turning around to seat down and her knee pop... she will go to the Dr on Monday...her knee is swollen and she in pain...she got her a knee brace and that help some...I wanted her to go to the Dr up there, but know way she was going to do that. And the Dr office here wanted her to the hospital up there...know way of taking her into it either...
    I wonder if she thought maybe she couldn't get back home if she went there...
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary

    In NY state there will be Medicaid cutbacks but I hope they will be minor. In Missouri, there used to be an excess spenddown over $320. Your social worker should be able to explain everything to you.
