Rumbles


Payroll is finished; two weeks before I worry about it again. This afternoon we will be going to Bristol to pick up the floor machine that has been in shop for repairs. The manager's boss at one of her accounts is coming in Tuesday for inspection, and he has to have his floors done this weekend. Monday is the only day she can do them, and it is usually the day of the first real picnic for us, but this Memorial Day is going to be a bust. More than a month ago, Carolyn asked him to allow her to do the floors, but the manager said he could not have them done due to the budget crunch. She told him then that she would not be available on this weekend, but I suppose she now will have to be there. Rats! If I don't get away from this crazy house soon, my journey to the Dark Side will be complete.

Today is another shot day; the doctor has raised her fees and prices for the injections to the full limit which Medicare allows, so that soon the shots will be unaffordable for me and a lot of other people. There are infusion treatments which when added to the methotrexate injections can help RA patients have a much more normal life, but their price is far out of reach. Although they have to be done only once every two months, my co-pay part would still be $400+ for each one. You folks whom live in countries that have universal medical care should feel very fortunate.
