Progress Report on Quantum Edge (and I won a giveaway!)


Well, I finally got some information from both the vendor and my PT eval. I was sent the 12  page review that must be submitted to the insurance company. Now all they need is another signature from my PCP in order to submit it to the insurance company. This won't take long as they wrote it   all out for her and all she has to do is sign it and fave her nurse fax it over. Easy Peasy. Progress indeed.

I must say, I have progressed significantly in the last six months. I have been giving myself the Copaxone shots, but they don't seem to be effective at warding off even little relapses, those are the ones that I don't realize I am having until I start to recover from them. What an odd disease this is. The good thing is I see my neurologist later this month, and we can discuss what to do next. Thus far I  have nixed Tysabri and Gilenya due to their rather negative side effects, with little promise of improvement. What else it there? I haven't been keeping up on the news on the drug front.

Please send all of your positive energy and prayers to United Healthcare on my behalf so they will hurry with an approval for my new wheelchair. Thanks ever so much.

Good Night, TTYL and Be Well,







P.S.  Now for the fun part of this entry!

    Awesome news on the chair, I hope that things happen quickly!

    And you won a giveaway! I enter a few and I almost never win anything, but I won the lovely ebook recently from Helen at A Little Lime. It's a lovely zentangle thing... I want to get back into the drawing, I haven't done it as much lately.

    I'll be praying that you get that chair! I gave up all MS drugs. I'm looking toward stem cell treatments as an answer, but I want to learn more.
    Congrats on being a winner!

    Ami, I haven't been doing much drawing lately either. Perhaps I am waiting for the weather to warm me up!

    Muffie, Thanks for the prayers. Stem cells may be the ticket to our freedom, but it's not without serious risk. It's nice to win prizes; always a surprise.

    Karen, this was a cool win indeed. They're both lovely books.

    Thanks for your comments. Keep warm everyone!

    Glad for your book win. Sorry about your MS progression - it seems to have no favorites lately, giving generously to everyone just like the weather. Spring will come, hope your chair does too.

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

Image
well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
