Hello again all... just had to blog about my great morning this morning... lol lol
I thought that I had it in me to go over to Shoppers Drug Mart this morning and pick up my latest script for Rebif. I had managed to get over twice before this month to get other prescriptions. They told me that it was quarterly deductable time again. When I was on a Copaxone injection per day, the Copaxone folks picked up all of my Trillium Plan deductable except $100/year or $25/quarterly. On a very limited CPP Disability income, I could then handle the cost of all my meds. Then I got switched over to Rebif instead of Copaxone. The first time I went into Shoppers I was charged my $25 quarterly deductable... fine. About 2 weeks ago I picked up another med and was charged $45 towards the deductable. Miffed, I paid it. Then this morning I went over to pick up the latest Rebif script and they wanted another $25 deductable payment. I refused. I quit.
Then, I tried to shop a bit because it was a points day at Shoppers. My left leg absolutely quit working about half way. I finished by holding on to shelving in the store. I made it to the checkout, but got in line behind a poor lady also with MS, but in a wheelchair and she wanted to discuss with the clerk about not getting vouchers she should have gotten months ago. This went on for 10-15 minutes, I almost passed out. Then a nice young man got me a chair to sit on, and also took my stuff to the car for me. I went through the Timmys drive through across the street and picked up a coffee. I drove back home, but had to sit in the parking lot and drink the coffee there.
From the car to the front door took me 30 minutes (about 50 feet). About 10 feet away I got some help... a man took my grocery pull cart and brought it in and up to my apartment, and a very nice lady got me a wheelchair that we have in the laundry room and took me up to the apartment. Now, just a long rest, a short nap, and I'll be almost back. I have contacted my neurologist (email) about the finances and she is getting back to me later.
Still smiling
