I got run through the mill today.
So, which would you like first, my good news or my bad news. Might as well go with the bad news. I went to my Rheumatologist today. It was a beautiful autumn day and a very nice hour and 1/2 drive to see my doc. Well after my exam and review of my blood work my doc gave me 2 options. One was to go back on the chemotherapy drug in addition to the medicines I am currently taking, which is approximately $5000+ a year. Or I could stay on the medicine I am on right now and go to the next set of Rheumatoid Arthritis medication which all require having an infusion of medication, which means I have to go to the hospital to have this done AND it would cost more than $15,000 a year. Option 2 has great results, my mom is on an infusion drug and she has to go every 8 weeks for about 3 hours while the drug is slowly injected into her. Option one has been known to cause some major liver problems but has really good results dealing with the pain of RA.
I opted for option 1 since cost is a major issue. I can't afford to pay for option 2, which by the way is the price after insurance. I don't even want to know what it is without! @_@ Because of my choice I have to have my blood drawn every two weeks to make sure my liver is doing ok. If it works, I am all for it. Needless to say my doctor is keeping me under close watch. He said if I even get a tummy ache I need to let him know. :P Oh well.
Now don't worry about me. I am not to upset by this. I am a bit bummed that I am back on the chemo, I was just growing my hair long again! No biggie, I like short hair anyway. So let's move on to the good news!
After my appointment John took me out shopping for manga and anime! I picked up Kare Kano manga vol 11 and the DVD collector's box of Azumanga Daioh that includes vol 1 and Azumanga Daioh vol 3 DVD. Why not vol 2 you ask? Well, for some reason vol 2, which has 4 episodes cost $22 and vol 3 with 5 episode cost only $19. I am going to see if I can find vol 2 someplace else for less than $22. New anime and manga always makes things better. ^_^
Now, time for a special Halloween time bishie break!
Domokun! He's got a winning smile!
Ok, so Domokun likes to listen to loud rock music, farts when he gets nervous, and lives with an old rabbit in a hole in the ground...someone might find those trait appealing! ::looks around finding no one responding to the pure fuzzy bishiness of Domokun:: Well, I tried.
Let's move on to the question of the day! It's been a while since I asked this question so I think it is ok to recycle. Plus, recycling is a good thing to do! ^_^ What do you want to be when you grow up?
I always loved working with animals and I got a degree in veterinary medicine. But because of my RA I can't work in the vet clinic anymore. I am now pursuing my next love, which is writing. I know I need more experience and examples of my writing to put in my portfolio, but I feel that I am at a good start. Considering this is going to be my second career I feel I am off to a good start. ^_^
I am worn out!
Well, I am off to check out the sites I missed today, the OB and see if there is any odds and ends that need to be done around theOtaku before heading off to bed.
Oh, and yes, as soon as we got home John went back to GTA: San Andreas. His character is now earning money by being the manager of the world's oldest profession (Translation: He's a pimp). His company's account receivable needs to collect at least $500 from the clients to allow him to afford a new coiffe (Translation: He needs those bitches to give him his money so he can go get cornrows!). I guess John wants me to come help him pick out a tattoo for his character now. ::rolls eyes:: Oh what fun it is to be a Thug.
Take care all and I will chat with you all soon. Have a great day! I guess I need to go help pick out a tattoo right now. :P
