Medical Supplies on Hand

I did it AGAIN. I've been sitting in the dark most of the day - between naps - because last night I tore a cornea for probably the 20th time. I sleep with my contact lenses in - been doing it for over 40 years. Every couple of years - rrrrrip.

It'll be fine by the morning. It always takes only 24 hours to heal up. It's already much better.

Today was just a joy. Light kills. Eye patches don't help much. Fortunately, my eye doc keeps me stocked with the necessary eye drops that make it bearable. Top door shelf in the fridge - that's where I keep my cold meds. Nuthin' like having supplies on hand.

I stopped wearing contacts a few years back. Hadn't slept in them in a while, but found them to be increasingly uncomfortable.

Got my first pair in 1968 - when the semi-soft ones came out. They've gotten better and better over the years. I hated having glasses fog up when I came in from the cold (not a problem in Florida, I suspect) and having raindrops all over the lenses.

With overnight contacts, I can see clearly the second I open my eyes when I wake up. No need to put my glasses on before I take aim, LOL.

Seek counsel Ken.

I'll stop by my doc's house early tomorrow morning. I even know how he takes his coffee - medium dark roast, skim milk. Yuck.

He STILL owes me for a prank he pulled on me in Lisbon 20 years ago. And for another prank he pulled on me this summer.

I should ring his doorbell around 4:15 a.m., that's what I should do! :sneaky2:

Mr. B had Lasik 6 yrs ago and it transformed his life. Worth considering if you're a candidate for it.

I am, but my doc STILL doesn't think that eyesight is something to mess with.

Lasik is beyond experimental now...it's run of the mill surgery. Your doc, I assume, is of the over the hill variety.
Time for a second opinion.

In some ways yes, in some ways no. He's a few years older than me. His wife is 37. She could be a model. They've been married 12 years. You go, Lou! :clap:

What a cliche!
Instead of distracting himself with a much younger wife, maybe your doctor needs to get hip with the latest advances in medicine. But then, as long as he has an aging clientele who thinks he's cool, I guess he can coast like this til he retires...if he's bride lets him, that is.

I caught that. :sneaky2:

Stay up on latest trends........Young trophy wife. Wow. Not much thought has to go into that one. Trends don't sway me.

I would never put something in my eye voluntarily. It kills me if there is eye surgery on television. That's just so....so....not cool.

Advances in medicine is not about the latest trends.
Shoulder, hip and knee replacement surgery isn't about following trends. Taking your gallbladder out laparoscopically instead of cutting you open isn't done because it's trendy, but because it's safer, less painful and less time is spent on recuperation.
Tooth implants aren't done because they're trendy...of course you can always choose to mess with bridges and dentures if you want to stay traditional.

Actually my wife had her gall bladder removed that way and she has a tooth implant. She's working on a second new once because of a failed crown. I think she has the post implanted next month.

How's this. Reading up and practicing on new cutting edge procedures that will change medicine forever.....trophy wife. Not much thought has to go into that one. I'm not a doctor. Better?

None of my business if a doctor chooses to spend his time on a trophy wife vs. getting acquainted with the latest advances in his field. Now, why someone would patronize a Dr. like that is beyond me. Which is why I suggested to Ken in post #8...time for a second opinion. Unless, of course, just the mere thought of your doctor taking your money and spending it on a trophy wife is making you feel better.

We haven't had our good humor ice cream yet have we? I can tell 'cause Gotham Cat is given me the stink eye.

Only when going from the icy AC inside to the hot humid air outside. Only a problem then. :rolleyes: :)

Who loves you, baby? :kiss:
Ken started it when he drove his own the thread into a ditch with post #9. I'm just having fun.

I have been wondering about the best approach with my "primary healthcare provider" for asking him to write me an "extra" script for my wife's anti-inflammatory meds. He is her doc also and he is usually pretty open minded about that sort of thing. So what do y'all think? Straight out ask him for a "just in case" script or subterfuge?

I have to admit that what I've done once is say I needed extra drugs because I was going to be away for a month and a half and this was just to CMA. In fact, I was gone 3 weeks so I stretched it a bit. If I had a close personal relationship with my doc (you know where we banter about life and hobbies) I'd ask straight up.

There are two ways you can approach this at the same time.

1. Talk to your doctor and let them know you are concerned that if some weather related event happens at the end of the Rx period it could be a week of so before scripts could be caught up and you'd like to avoid that. They should be okay with that unless it's narcotics and you're asking for a refill every 3rd day.

2. When it's close to refill time call in the script a day or two early. Take the extra 1 or 2 pills and put them back. Next month same thing and rotate your meds from last month. It only takes a few months to start having some backup meds available. This will be governed to some extend by your pharmacy insurance and how many days ahead they will allow you to refill. Find out and take advantage of it. If it's out of pocket then you should be able to refill 3 or 4 days ahead will no problems.

As B said - if you have a good relationship - just ask. Tell em what for and that you will give him/her the unused scripts when they expire so that they can be refilled. If you ever do have to use them be sure to let your doc know so that he/she will know that you are being straight up with them.

Talked with my Doc today. He was fine with it. Told me to give him a list of the meds/scripts and he would be glad to write them. He did caution me that I might have to pay out of my pocket because Tri-Care Prime is pretty picky about paying for refills too soon.

TriCare Prime is getting more and more picky about a lot of things.

I'm glad you have a responsible and reasonable PCP. The good news is most generics are pretty cheap right now even out of pocket. If you have to pay out of pocket for any expensive drugs then ask the pharmacy if you can fill a portion of it. They will keep the script on file. You can refill a third of it per payday or something like that and lessen the blow of an expensive drug. If it's out of pocket your Rx insurance won't have a say about how you fill it.
