After initially being rejected because I have prescription coverage I received a call that my Revlimid would be delivered tomorrow. I can only assume that Dr. Goldman followed through with Celgene to confirm that my insurance was no longer covering it. So after a 6 week vacation I will resume my Revlimid tomorrow. Time to resume fighting the beast.
My cousin Larry and his wife Gail came up from Tennessee to visit yesterday. We had a nice visit with them and Uncle Bob, Aunt Bea and Sylvia. After lunch we went to visit Aunt Thelma in Rehab.

Hi Eve,
Brother-in-law Ken here. I am writing as an anonymous contributor here because I forgot my blog name.
Since my fusion operation Aug 23rd (L4-L5, L5-S1 ... spinal of course) I have really grown to appreciate the pain you have endured to be here today, which helps me to appreciate you all the more as well.
At 4:00 AM on Sept 9th I woke up with the most excruciating pain of my life, right where my incision is from the fusion. We worked at it for four and a half days, with pain killers, oral antibiotics and TLC to no avail. I went into the hospital the 13th to discover I had a steph infection and that didn't go over well, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, they put a Pick-line in me so I could come home and continue the 'iv' antibodies. The pain is still there because the infection is, but it has decreased 45-55% from what was.
I remember all too well that horrible pain you experienced a couple years ago; now I can emulate with it. I pray neither of us -- or anyone else for that matter, have to go through that again.
Much love, Ken.
I wrote in this a couple days ago. Don't see it can,t figure out what happened to it.Anyway God is so good to you sis.You are so blessed to get the medicine you need. Just like I told you the other day . You are my million dollar sister.hee,hee . the best news is you can be right back on this miracle drug again that is helping you so much. Ken so sorry you had to go through all that pain. God bless you . hope you get back to your old happy self.You know who I am Evelyn,s oldest sister.Maybe that is why it didn't go into her blog . So I could say good luck to you. I wrote in her blog before you did. can't figure why it didn't work.
Yes, Mary Lou, I know you and Sylvia and thank you for the well wishing.
Ken
God bless you all as well!
Ken,
Hope you are feeling better and on the road to a painfree recovery.
