Bob Update and a little Weirdness

 


Before I share the update, take a guess at what this is and after the update in your comment tell me what you guessed and I will share the answer.


Ha ha on me, since I had no photos for this tale, I chose this because it had been in drafts for days.  I will share bob's new towel, I bought a six pack of 100 percent cotton hand towels because they fit the grab bar, Now, I have 12, because we use a lot of towels. I know what you're thinking, so Yes, I hate gold too.

On to Bob's UPDATE. 
The infusion drug, that treats CIDP, is expensive, I saw how much on the web site, when I researched it, and had been dreading the call, for when, where, how much our HMO plan would pay. The drug is $2000.00 per vial, that includes the infusion in our home. It will be 2 hours on the first day, next day 1 hour and 1 hour every 3 weeks for 3 months.
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
GOOD NEWS~ is we pay $1819.53, and the rest is covered by insurance. 
We pray now that he will tolerate the drug, the first time tells yes or no. And that he will regain the ability to walk. The good news is also, that we qualify for free PT therapist once a week for free.
The red thing at the top is my arm/handprint from lying on the bed to do my leg exercise. The odd thing is, the blanket shows my fingernails and to me, looks downright creepy

I'm so glad your insurance will pay for most of the drugs and that it pays for one PT session a week. Prayers that the drug helps, and love and hugs!

Fingers crossed on the drug/therapy... and I knew it was your hand, but did not get that it was a blanket 'negative', rather that you had found some new voile sheers for your bedroom or some such! That the velveteen took such a clear imprint is both fascinating and, as you say, a tad disturbing! YAM xx

I knew it was a hand, of course, but I hadn’t clued in that it was yours. I thought it was a disembodied appendage from a horror movie or something. I am glad that you don’t have to pay the whole amount for the drugs you need for Bob. Even so, over $1,800 is substantial. I am once again very grateful for universal medical coverage in Canada.

I hope the treatment is successful - good news on the medical insurance, too.
I guessed it was your hand but didn't think about how you'd achieved that effect.
