My family doctor has been trying, unsuccessfully I might add, to get me on Lipitor. I have put him off for almost two years! Now I called him to get a prescription for 8 weeks to see if it would help. I had also started taking red yeast rice since it contains a natural statin - what the prescriptions are, but processed, not natural. I also found a coupon for a free 30 day supply. Well, after 6 weeks the results are in. from a high of 264 to a low of 124. Well within the range I need to be.
We called the insurance company and asked where to fax a copy of the medical report and they said "Oh, we changed our policy - we can no longer accept another's report'. So, it means another vile of blood drawn by their people. Did I mention I HATE NEEDLES! Oh well, at least I can save some money on my insurance. I can put up with a needle for that.
My second daughter has now moved out of the house. She shares an apartment with another girl. It's great to see my children growing up but it is not without some trepidation. With our third daughter a senior in high school - home school- It may not be many more years before she leaves. She has already bought her first car and paid cash for it. She has a job with a local restaurant and has done a great job saving her money.
My oldest daughter will soon bless us with a grand child sometime in early August. They already know that it is a girl. She has had some minor problems with her pregnancy but nothing serious. Well, from our perspective anyway. She now knows why we think doctors are intrusive and troublesome.
I know that it is mid summer, but it is time to work on preparations for the start of Awana at church in September. As the director I get the fun of making the yearly schedule and planning the Bible lessons.( and a bunch of other decisions that can be quite annoying.) So I'll close and do some work on that. God Bless! -- MAYO
