SOMEONE BRING MUM A GLASS OF WATER -- QUICK

The reason for this caption is that mum picked up a refill of my Rimadyl prescription, and it cos $100!!!!! Her prescription for pain pills only cost $35!!! Her knee is getting better. The Physcial Therapist is very pleased -- said that mum's range of motion is really good for 3 weeks post surgery!!! The Occupational Therapist came yesterday and, after looking and finding mum's laptop mouse, he asked her some questions and decided that she did not need any more OT!!! Mum went to see her Primary Care doc yesterday and got a real lecture from him because she had filled a Percocet prescription from the surgeon who did her surgery in december. He reminded her that she had signed a form agreeing not to fill prescriptions, and that she had broken the agreement!!! Mum explained that she had filled it without thinking anything of it -- and that she had filled it because it was such a painful surgery!!! The finally hashed it all out -- thank dogness!!! He is very 'squirrely' about it all because of the doctor in California who was charged with murder after some of his patients died from OD's of pain meds!!!! Well, now mum knows that she cannot fill Rx's that docs give her after surgery, etc. Well, things are starting to get back to normal -- mum's PT is going well -- as I said earlier. She went to the store without me yesterday -- she had the Van drop her off at the store on the way home from the doc's office!! I am going to talk her into going to the mall soon, just so she can get out more. Have to go no --PT is coming over soon. ttfn and toodle pip Cookie p.s. dont know why this doesnt publish with paragraph spacing!!!!

  3. Have you looked at Dr Fosters and Smith - they deliver to your door - here are all their prices for Remadyl - they also have a generic of the drug that is cheaper http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=13&pCatId=1454
