Week #8
Shot night again. Bruce has not been sleeping after he takes his shot, he goes to bed and tosses and turns moans and in general dosent sleep. I tried sleeping upstairs last week thinking maybe I was keeping him up since I roll around frequently when i sleep, but he said no it didnt help a bit. At the Dr visit this week I asked if it would be ok to give him a ambien for sleep. He said sure so I gave him on one of mine. He slept like a log I thought he would be estatic, but he said he felt groggy and drunk when he got up. I think the sleep did him good but not the hangover.He still has an awful hacking cough so were trying a different antibiotic and an inhaler. I sure hope it works. I feel so bad for him when he feels like crap and there is not a thing i can do to help.While he was still sleeping I got a call from his insurance saying they needed to make delivery arrangements for his 3 month Pegasys prescription, as they must be refrigerated. Yep the same insurance company who said that he could not have any refills unless his test results from week 12 met their approval. Who am I to argue with a delivery clerk, I was more than happy to give her my work address for delivery on Tuesday. We will see if they catch their error of if we get 12 more weeks of shots. She said the co pay was $400.00 but I know the drugs are about $8,000.00 so I just gave her the visa to charge it to. Last time our co-pay was $210.00 so if the drugs show up I will call and figure out the difference.We ran got a sandwich for lunch and came home so he could take a nap. Monkey came over for a few hours while Mom and Dad went to a tattoo contest with her Dad at a local bar in town. Bella came over to play for awhile and we had homemaid mac & cheese for dinner. They took a bath together and I took a couple cute picturesSunday morning we got up and tackled packing for our trip next Saturday. I am sure hoping Bruce does ok getting up early to fly out, maybe he can sleep on the flight.I am excited to head out on vacation.
