Every day he comes home we ask him the same question and we get the exact same answer. Â I’m sure there are things that they did in class because he will belt out a new song every now and then. (click on the image to see the full thing)

It’s been 8 weeks since my last infusion and I’m starting to hurt. I’ve just started to take some Vimovo to try and mitigate the awful pain. Â Since I left Rogers and their 100% health coverage (less a deductible) and joined my new company, I need to get approved to take Remicade with the new insurance provider. Â And they only cover 80% of the drug cost.
Every 6 weeks I was getting infused with Remicade at a cost of $5,355 per infusion. Â Under the Rogers plan that was covered 100%. Â Now under my new plan I will be responsible for $1,071 each infusion, and needing 8 infusions per year that works out to be $8,568 per year to the drugs. Â I can’t afford that on a single income earner’s salary. And that is only IF the insurance company deems that I am insurable for this pre-existing condition. Â Otherwise its the full $42,840 myself. YIKES!
One of the things I am going to try to do is contact my BioAdvance coordinator and see if I qualify for some compassionate assistance where they will cover the cost of the delta in what I pay versus the insurance company. Â Here’s hoping.
Today was the first day that I actually took one of the Tylenol 3’s that my Rheumatologist gave me years ago to help cope with the pain. Â So far, not working too great I must say.
