Today was a lazy day. I woke up to fibromyalgia pain and realized that I wasn't hurting before because of mere stress but the stress was aggravating the fibromyalgia and then I had a good time like you do. But as I got up and got going the pain was better.
Nathan went to his Physical Therapy so we had the morning to ourselves.
Right after Nathan came home Kirsten called me and we talked for a while as she drove down to Riverton to Taylor's cardiac appointment. It is good to have cell phones now so I can talk to them as if they were right here in Texas without extra charge. Larry changed the laundry while I was talking so he must have been feeling better for a while.
This afternoon Nathan watched the Lord of the Rings I and II, Larry watched with him sometimes and other times was watching Fox News on TV in our room and I called my prescription insurance to find out why my copays on my roseaca lotion were $400.00. When I called they said that I had to enroll in a program with the same company for Texas so I was on the phone for an hour talking to them about a new policy. They thought the high copay was because I was out of network for Utah but in the end it will still be a $350.00 copay. Apparently I was able to get it in Utah for cheaper because the price goes down to $8.00 when you are in the catastrophic phase of the prescription cycle for Medicare. And with all my chemotherapy last year I made it to that last phase. So I guess I will have to go to my dermatologist and see if there is something that I can use that isn't so expensive on my insurance. Ironically in Utah the lotion was given to me as a lower priced thing to use because the other things I was using in Texas were too pricey in Utah.
When I finished that the guys were still watching the movies etc. and I didn't feel like watching it so I went to get the mail, I tried to call Mom and I got ready for the kids to come by looking up some recipes that Nathan wants the kids to make. Mom called me back later right before the kids came and I was able to tell her the good news about my cancer being in remission.
The kids came at 6:00 p.m. and they were in a contentious spirit when they came. Sammy wanted to go hide somewhere and be by himself and screamed every time Nathan wanted him to do something and David always wants to parent as well so it was a little hectic but they have folded their clothes and put them away and eaten dinner and are settled down and quiet now. Not in bed but quiet.
I was impressed that because Nathan had planned corn dogs for dinner David took over and fixed them without anyone having to asked and giving me a break. Larry also ate something else rather than a hot dog which is processed meat that he shouldn't have with his congestive heart failure.
