Plan Well!

On going headache ... every piece of mail causes mom to jump to conclusions about whatever it says.  She has an Rx for Tramadol, 50mg, and her insurance sent a letter saying they don't cover 25mg tablets.  But the letter also says they will cover 90 days worth if she needs it.  She got this mail on Saturday, and didn't tell me about it until I arrived today.  So 2 nights of worry ... for nothing. 

And because its getting closer, she is becoming agitated about her steroid shot.  I've told her she can refuse to have it done.  But she doesn't want to live with her pain, either.  Of course, she isn't doing much in the way of exercise to help herself.  

I opted out of Sunday dinner, so had two days to myself, no driving, no crazy convos or sitting around.  Yay me!  Instead I started painting my bedroom.  I was so tired last night, I was in bed at 530pm, but awake at 3am. Which begins my own tough cycle because its now 530 and I want to go to bed! 

Don't assume that retirement is going to start your golden years --- its not what you imagine!!  So plan well!!
