Medication

[Sangersteve]

So when it came time to renew my medicare supplemental plan.

I(well my wife) decided to change the carrier, due to her experience with her former carrier.

She decided to change because her former wouldn't approve scans to make sure the cancer was under control.

The new carrier approves everything and even sent a letter congratulating her for diligence.

So during the questioning by the new guys they asked

So Sangersteve at 72 what meds do you take daily?

None, says I.

None? not even vitamins?

None, unless Miller lite and scotch count.

So when we finished the nice man says you're approved and we'll send you a list covered items.

Cool, I never looked at the list of meds.

Curiosity got the better of me. On the list were these drugs and the amount I was qualified for per month.

Hydrocodone 375 mg 5540 per month

Oxycodone 375 mg 5540 per month

Methadone 10 mg 3600 per month

Fentanyl 5mg 2400 per month

Now if I can get a doc to write the scrips,

Sounds like a nice extra income.

The fentanyl is probably cheaper on the street.

My pharmacist just tells me yesterday I should not take two of my meds together, after I've been taking them both at the same time in the morning for the last 2 - 3 years.

Single malt?

[Sangersteve]

Single malt?

Is there another kind?

I will pour myself an extra finger this evening and toast you and Donna.

I started taking Vitamin D and Zinc every day about 18 months ago.

I started taking Claritin every day at that time also, but I recently changed that from Claritin to Xyzol, or however you spell it.
