Well, I got good news from the clinical trial nurse. If she wasn’t speaking out of turn, I won’t pay anything for the drug.
When I complained on behalf of all other people with MS in the world who might feel Four Thousand Dollars a Month (not a typo) is excessive, she explained that somehow it was cheaper for the manufacturer to pay for my tests than to pay the insurance companies. I don’t know why the manufacturer is paying the insurance company, or if she got that backward, or what is going on. I pressed that there are a lot of sick people not on the trial and not on insurance, and the conversation turned to how busy she was, and I don’t blame her. Still, Spartacus feels bad.
In case I would have been charged 4K a month for drugs, Gary added me back to his insurance, so I’ll have to be hospitalized to make good use of that. I might be deathly ill at this very moment. During the last 15 minutes of Desperate Housewives, I ran to the bathroom twice and then barfed in front of the couch. Gary said it was a “Family Guy” style of vomit. Just sitting there, then water hose of vomit, then done.
And when I was in the bathroom cleaning myself up he cleaned up the floor. LOVE.
Streak of luck for the week: Got an 84 on my test, I’m up 4K a month, I don’t have to clean up my own puke (priceless).

You deserve only the best, my Queen.
Nothing says lovin’ like cleaning up hurl without even being asked. What an awesome guy.
Hattie – Everyone deserves the best, my subjectMare- I thought it was awesome myself. However, when he tells this story he concludes it with “and then Ellen came out of the bathroom after I cleaned up the mess, she sat down AND PICKED UP ANOTHER COOKIE.” Which is true.
Congrats on the test. 84’s good on the first try.
I clean up my cats hairball puke without complaining. Does that count?
Looks like Becs has the blues though. That’s too bad….
Benchmark – That totally counts.
