He chickened out of going to his plastic surgeon at the new SuperHospital.

He went to a small, albeit excellent clinic which has it's own small operating room and X-Ray department.

They did the surgery there, but a less invasive version under a local anaesthetic. They did warn him it might not "take".

We'll see. He wasn't feeling well, so I took a cab down there to drive him and his stick shift car home.

I shudder to think how much this would have cost us with insurance deductibles, and OOP costs. Two surgeries, 52 visits for dressings and debriding, follow-ups, and maybe "out of network" costs.

Total OOP cost to us...$0.00, and no paperwork.

Oh, I'm glad it is over for him and I sure hope it "takes". Also glad you were able to take him home.

I hope his pain and suffering is over. Will continue to send good thoughts his way.

Oh my, hope it doesn't cost you a fortune to get rid of that awful mold.
Yeah that is my worry too. Of course when bad things happen the first thing I do is call my mother. She said a good friend of my brother does mold remediation so at least I won't be ripped off & may get a possible discount if I have my brother set it up for me.

It should be covered by insurance.

Thank you very much. I sure hope it "takes", too. He's been through absolute hell. During all this, he was in a bad car accident, where he was hit from behind by a texting teen. He had severe whiplash, back pain, and his girlfriend broke her face on the dashboard.

He really deserves a break. He's such nice person.

Weltz, sending good thoughts for your son. Sounds as if he has had a tough few years. I'm surprised after being through the first round of surgery he still has issues with the needles and such, typically one gets used to it. But still, he deserves a break.

NJN is DH still taking pain meds? Sound as if he is in a pain lull and won't need them right now. That is a good thing.

This has all happened in the last year. Enough, already!

Czech, glad to hear your brother's surgery went well. May he be on his feet in no time.

flan, I don't think I've seen the gift.

We got some answers from the Urologist. I really like him. We have seen him before. His last name is pronounced Ya little did low. Which cracks me up. Anywho, the stone is almost out according to him. He says DH should pass it in no more than two weeks. If he doesn't pass it within the next two weeks we go back in and they will do a sonogram and then go in manually and extract it. They will also place a stent in his ureter. He told him to do all the things I myself told him to do. He told him to take the Motrin like the first doctor said and to eat something before he does so that it won't upset his stomach. He said the reason his kidney is so sore is because the stone is blocking the output on that side so the ureter is swollen about twice the size it should be and his kidney is pretty swollen too. Fluid build up. So that's where we stand. Wait and pass the stone!

He has no more control over what happens to him then anyone else. We all go through rough patches in life. Some patches are rougher for some than for others.

Hope he is on the road to good health and better luck.

My brother just called. Our conversation:

Brother: Are you busy?

Me: No.

Brother: What are you learning?

Me: Nothing.

Brother: Have I talked to you yet today?

Me: Yes.

Brother: When did I talk to you?

Me: About 3:00, don't you remember? (I'm in a mild panic by now)

Brother: Oh. (l o n g pause) I don't remember talking to you. I was going to let you know I was okay, but you already knew that. I'll call you tomorrow. (click)

I called him back and got a better conversation the second time. I could slap that boy! (yes, boy, he's 57!!)

He is a handful. And believe it or not, I am the only one that can get along with him all the time. My sisters simply do not know how to deal with his bluntness. They take everything too personally. He never says more then he intends to say. Short and sweet. I've always accepted that about him.

Then I dish it right back at him. Bwahaha

And, yes, I told him he was an a-hole tonight. biggrin He laughed.

Dad is doing well. He's moving a little slowly, but he's acting pretty normal. My mom is off school this week, but she is in her office doing grade cards. So I get the evening shift. I hate to complain, because she was with him all day, but I was at work all day and now I'm running around all evening. And I swear, her stupid dog wants to go out every 5 freaking minutes. I just want to go to sleep.

Thanks Lily. I appreciate it. It is a relief knowing what's going on at least. I mean having more answers and a time frame.

We took my pills back to the pharmacy. I knew they weren't right last night so I didn't take any. Turns out they gave me the wrong pills. Yep, totally wrong pills. Again, I hadn't taken any so it wasn't a big deal. Mistakes accidentally happen, even though they shouldn't, and as long as all is well I say nothing to worry about. But they refunded our money on them and gave a $25 gift card. We didn't even complain. We just took them in to make sure they were the right pill. We didn't make a fuss and they still treated us really well. It was nice.

Yesterday DH picked up a bunch of stuff from the pharmacy. His pills and mine. We never check when we leave the pharmacy. That night I went to take one and noticed it was a different color and shape. I know what both the brand name and generic look like. This wasn't it. We looked online and found what we thought it was. It wouldn't have killed me or anything but it wasn't the right thing. I think when you don't scream and yell about that stuff they're really nice about it because they're really not supposed to make mistakes. I mean pharmacies are supposed to be flawless with all the checking and doubling checking. But really, when humans are involved there's always a chance that something can go wrong. And that they can get into big trouble for their mistakes. DH said they tripped over themselves apologizing so many times. I think they want to make you happy so you don't complain to someone higher up. Thing is we wouldn't have complained. We've been using them for ten years and they've always done right by us.

I check my meds before I leave.

The only problem I have ever had was when the new girl only gave me half the prescription.

They fixed immediately.

I usually don't check mine either. But that day, it was more expensive than I though, so I was looking at it as I was walking to the front of the store. Then I didn't recognize the generic name on the bag. When I pulled out the bottle it said in tiny print "generic for adderall". So I opened the bottle and there were bright pink diamond shaped pills. Mine are round and pale yellow. I was nice about it. I know mistake happen. Honestly, if there was going to be a mistake, I'm glad it was me, that couled recognize the difference and not some little old lady with bad eye sight.

Yep. Glad it happened to me too. All was good. But someone else might not have paid attention. Like you, I know what mine look like. Anyway, they were super nice about it so it was no big deal. People are human.

We got some answers from the Urologist. I really like him. We have seen him before. His last name is pronounced Ya little did low. Which cracks me up. Anywho, the stone is almost out according to him. He says DH should pass it in no more than two weeks. If he doesn't pass it within the next two weeks we go back in and they will do a sonogram and then go in manually and extract it. They will also place a stent in his ureter. He told him to do all the things I myself told him to do. He told him to take the Motrin like the first doctor said and to eat something before he does so that it won't upset his stomach. He said the reason his kidney is so sore is because the stone is blocking the output on that side so the ureter is swollen about twice the size it should be and his kidney is pretty swollen too. Fluid build up. So that's where we stand. Wait and pass the stone!

It's not the typical Jason Bateman film (a light-hearted comedy). It's very suspenseful. I'll probably finish it this morning & let you know what I think.
