To reiterate, because my last review might not been understood. My oncologist (my referring Dr) had to give me something to help me somewhat because katina didn't send in a different extended release medication that my insurance would cover after the first one my insurance wouldn't cover.
So right now I should have 1x a day extended release pain medication 1x breakthrough pain medication to take per day along with an anti convulsing to take for sleep but I do have thanks to my oncologist who sent me 2 weeks worth or pain meds and anti convulsants. So I have the 1 breakthrough pain med and anti convulsants but not the extended release medication because after 6 days I still haven't got it after the one they sent in Friday after my Thursday visit wasn't accepted by my insurance. So I'm still waiting for that. Thank god for my oncologist or I'd be screwed right now.
I have people who depend on me, my father who has many problems, I have to shop for him, cook for him, do housework, do anything he needs and I got a few friends who have no vehicles that I take to go shopping weekly, go to Drs, go to get a few things they need. They all depend on me and if I can't help myself how can I help them. I got physical therapy also weekly. I won't be able to do any of this without help from katina. Thank god for my oncologist who gave me the pain meds, at least I can take the one a day right when I know I gotta help my father, my friends, so they can get what they need or do what they need to do or I can get whatever my dad needs for him because without me they have no one to help them, they depend on me.
So hopefully Katina can get me the extended release I'm needing and technically already gave me but I couldn't get it, I don't get the hold up for an alternate ER but this is causing me slot of stress. So hopefully tomorrow I get it finally so I can take it with my 1x a day breakthrough pain medication as it was supposed to be when I talked to her Thursday at my appointment.
