Good morning all on this coldish, wet morning here in Newie were I live, I have sent text messages to both Tasha and Jess to see if one of them could go up with Sam due to the rain but have no reply. Jess at last replied saying she would do it.
Last night laying in bed I had many different thoughts running through my head but of course this morning I can’t remember what those thoughts were. I would like to get another small digital recorder so when I have a thought about a blog post or even just something I would like to look up I can say so into the recorder to be replayed in the morning.
Yesterday was my 6 monthly check up with the neurologist at Westmead, she was quite pleased with my progress. She liked that I am walking much better and I didn’t use the wheelchair instead just using the walker. She has increased medication and added a new tablet Azilect which I will take of a morning.
Tim and I have at last met our safety net threshold and thus the rest of the scripts for the year will be at the reduced rate of $7.30, the threshold is $1563.50, combined as in for both Tim and myself.
For those who do not know we pay no more the $30 for a script on the PBS aka Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme which is a government funded scheme to lower the cost of medication, not all medication is on the PBS my bladder tablet called Betmiga isn’t and cost me $69 a month.
Well that’s all from me for this post till Sunday when I will be back with something else.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Happy for your good report about some improvements!
Meds here are a LOT more expensive. In the beginning of the year, Pieter pays for his Ranexa of US $ 2230.05 US $ 506.78 out of pocket as the insurance covers only part of it!
But as Pieter always said, a funeral is also expensive… TRUE!
Hugs,
Mariette
Yeah medications can be far too expensive but they help make our lives more enjoyable day after day as it is hard to feel joy when we are in pain or our body is shaking and doing stuff is so hard no joy there.
So TRUE!
glad you are taking care of yourself
I am I have far too much to live for to not care for myself
