My son got a shock yesterday, plugging in the iPad. It was the first time he’s ever been shocked. You should have seen his little face! Did he ever jump! It took him by surprise!! He was shocked!! Hee Hee!! Poor little man. I think he now has a healthy respect for outlets and will be more careful around them. At least for a while, when it’s still fresh in his mind.

Didn’t really have a great day today. I didn’t do much. I did make Spanish rice for supper, but it was pretty easy, the sauce was already made from yesterday, I just had to warm up the sauce and cook some rice to add to it. A nice nummy meal requiring very little effort, I am low on the whole energy front these days. I also made my son perogies, he doesn’t eat good meals like Spanish rice. He’s the one missing out on the good stuff!! Some days we enforce it more, today I just felt like I wasn’t up for a fight. Just not in the mood. Nope! So he got perogies.

Still super duper nauseous and headachey (not sure if that’s word), but you know what I mean. I feel like I’m losing my sanity. It’s slowly but surely slipping away. I think that getting some sleep would help with that part, the sanity part. It’s probably help everything. So I pray that the Suboxone helps with my sleep. I believe that good things will follow. And, now that we’re on the note about sleep, I’m going to head to bed. Night All! 💤😴

Today was not any different than the past month has been. I still woke up feeling like crap! Sick, nauseous tummy – check. Headache – check. Tired – check. Rundown and bitchy – check. All I want to do is lie down. I have no life. If I could only sleep. Like a normal person. Get in a good 8 hours. Oh wouldn’t that be nice. But, no! I’m stuck with my 3 or 4 hours. I don’t know how long I should give these pills to kick in. It’s not like I’m even at the full dose yet! I’m praying, like literally on my hands and knees praying, that they are the reason I’ve been feeling so shitty and that once they are fully in my system, I will be back to my normal self. It may not be the healthiest, but it’s far better than this. I’m tired, so so tired of gagging 24/7 and just doing nothing for days and days and days. I need a little energy, please! Energy to cook supper, clean my house, to just function like a normal human being.

My hubby decided that it was a clean up the house Day today. He had all the kids involved. They each had there area. They must’ve seen how badly it needed it, because they didn’t even really fight with him. There was some team work, some individual work and a whole lot of garbage. Seriously, it looks a lot better. It may not be perfect or as picky as some people would be, but a lot got done and it looks a lot less chaotic. I expected more arguing from the younger two (one was at a sleepover the other is tired) and more complaints from the oldest (she hasn’t been feeling well). My hubby made spaghetti for supper and it was good, it’s just not sitting well right now. I’m going to lie down and try to sleep. It’s early, but I don’t care. Sleep is sleep, who cares when it happens! Night All! 💤😴

So today, for once, I have good news! (It’s about bloody time, right!? With this negative trend I’ve got going on the past few weeks!!) My hubby’s boss called him this morning and after a couple of conversations (drum roll please) the insurance company has agreed to cover my Suboxone!!! They will cover the brand name for 120 days and then the generic from then onward!!! Yay!! Isn’t that good news!? Once the word is officially on my file, I can submit my receipt and get my dad’s money back for him! So, we will not have to continue paying $500 out of pocket for this medication and I no longer need to worry about applying for Alberta Health non group blue cross coverage!! Hooray!! Now, we just have to hope and pray that I start to feel better with the Suboxone in my system. Today feels no different, I’m still super nauseous and have a headache and am so sleepy. I just have to believe that Dr Hauptman is right in assuming that not being on this medication has me all out of wack.

We were supposed to go to Nayeela and Kevin’s house (friends of ours) tonight, for dinner and a visit. However, I wasn’t feeling very social, more like pukey, so my hubby went with our oldest and our son. (Our middle daughter was sleeping over at a friends house tonight!). I’m tired of having no life. Okay Suboxone, do your stuff!! It’s almost midnight which, these days, is late for me! I’ve been hitting the sack quite early, not necessarily sleeping, but at least lying down. So, I’m going to go to bed. If I keep writing it’s just going to be whining about how shitty I feel. That’s no fun for anyone!! Night All! 💤😴

Suboxone Finally

I woke up today (at like 4am) feeling just the same. I have a headache, a tummy ache with nausea, I’m tired, kinda cranky, bla bla bla…just the same. No sleep equals feeling like crap! I spent less time in bed today, compared with the past few days. My dad came over around 3:00 (& I actually left the house!!). We went to Rexall pharmacy and bought my Suboxone!!! About $500 later (thanks Dadda!!), I got myself a months worth of pills. Well, Dr Hauptman said to see how I feel taking them twice a day, instead of 3 times a day. That way I can make them last a little bit longer. So, we’re about to find out if the reason that I’ve been feeling so hellish is because I need to be on the Suboxone. I have to restart it gradually, to get it back in my system, but, once I do, we’ll see if

I still feel as if I’ve been run over by a truck or not. Fingers crossed that I feel better. Also, fingers crossed that my hubby’s boss can get the insurance company to come around and decide to cover it. My hubby has, in writing, that he’ll receive the exact same coverage on the new plan – which is clearly not the case!! So, hopefully, they’re able to resolve it, in our favour. If not, I have to apply for that Alberta Health non group blue cross insurance so that we don’t have to keep paying the crazy $500 each time I’m out. What a pain. I wish that they’d just cover the damn medication already!! Sigh. Well, I’m going to try to sleep. Night All! 💤😴

Meds Maybe…???

I’ll try to be less cranky today…I was fed up yesterday – at my wits end. I think I probably still am, but there’s no fight left in me. I’m pooped out!! No, I didn’t get anything done, no, I didn’t cook supper, no, I’ve done nothing absolutely nothing!!! I just don’t care anymore. I know I probably should, but I just can’t keep feeling like this. So, on that topic, my parents and my hubby have decided that they agree with Dr Hauptman, I should probably be on those meds, so I am going to apply for the Alberta Health Non-group blue cross plan thingy. I’ll have to take a couple of months applying, but then the Suboxone should be covered. I called the pharmacy and they’re filling the Suboxone and we’re going to put it on the credit card or my parents are going to pay, or both. It’s around $500. The generic ends up costing more because it’s the 2mg tabs and the quantity really affects the price I guess. So, for that price, dr Hauptman had better be correct!! That’s a LOT of money to spend on pills, they had better work!! On the other hand, it should make other medication have double the coverage, which ought to help. I feel like I’m going to be sick again. I gotta run. Sorry. Night All! 💤😴

Dr May cannot get me in to see her at the same time as my daughter. What a pain in the ass! I have to wait until the 6th to see

her. Better than not seeing her,

I guess. Dr Hauptman said that I should still be on the Suboxone. He called my pharmacy and my insurance company and complained to them today. The stupid arse company won’t even cover the generic brand. Idiots! He’s 100% certain that it’s why I feel like I’ve been feeling. He wants me to go to the non group blue cross under Alberta health. He’s certain that they cover it. However, that’s a new monthly expense that we’ll have to figure out how to pay. It is cheaper than the amount they want for the generic meds, $290. Sigh… didn’t feel very helpful he just told me how badly I need to be on it. But we can’t afford the $300/month or whatever the group coverage cost is. Why does my hubby’s insurance company have to be such dorks!? What a pain in the arse!!dr H thinks I need to just go spend the $300 and get that medication back in my system. Easier said than done. I don’t exactly have a spare $300 hanging around, do you?! I told him I had no choice, they wanted $500 and I didn’t have it. He said “there’s always a choice Jennifer.” Well, I didn’t have the $500, so it made my choice obvious! I know he’s trying to help, but we really don’t have spare cash right now. I simply didn’t have the money. It was decided for me. He tried his best calling around for me today. I’m just sick and tired and at a loss. It’s making me awfully bitchy!!

That was the extent of my day… had a sick kiddo to deal with again. Fun fun! That’s about it. My daughter was in and out. My head feels so bad, like my brain is literally trying to push it’s way out of my ears, eyes, nose, etc. Too much pressure! Then my hubby comes home and I’ve hardly moved, because I can’t and he wants to know what’s for supper. He knows darn well I haven’t moved, why does he even ask?? I don’t know. To bother me maybe?! It works. Does he think this hell is some kind of vacation time for me or what!? Oh well, he works all day, comes home tired and then has to cook something for supper. What a pain in the butt for him too! I’m just feeling so crappy that I’m taking it out on those around me. He doesn’t deserve it. After a long, tiring day, he’s used to me bring on top of things. Hell, I’m used to that too!! Now he comes home to this blech. Poor guy. Sorry I’m so crabby love. Anyway, on that cheerful note, I’m going to go now. Night All! 💤😴

My son stayed home from school sick today. He was feeling the same as yesterday. His tummy really upset and hurting and a high fever. We ended up having another upstairs day. Meaning, we basically spent the entire day upstairs, on the bed, again. Fun times!! My hugest pet peeve is crumbs on my bed. So, my oldest made the bed up tight and then put a big towel for him tub sit on, when he ate the crackers he wanted. Then we just carefully move the towel and voila! No cracker crumbs. (In theory anyway…) The only factor not taken into account is the child staying put and getting up carefully, because he’s usually covered in crumbs by that point and needs careful wiping off.

Dr May’s office didn’t call back again, so I left another message with Denise (dr May’s receptionist.) My tummy is so bad again. Hopefully, I don’t have to get sick, again. I hate throwing up. I guess I’ll see. I’m going to go now. Night All! 💤😴

So, my son woke up saying his tummy hurts. He threw up and ended up with a fever of 102.5F. So, needless to say, he’s not doing well. It’s difficult to take care of a sick 7 year old when you’re sick yourself! He was throwing up in the toilet and I was throwing up beside him in the sink. Gross!! We had an upstairs day. We spent the entire day on the bed together.

My dad came over and helped my hubby get the yard cleaned up for winter. They took the trampoline down, raked the apples, weed wacked, mowed, put everything away in the shed, etc. I was upstairs, so I didn’t actually even see my dad. But I know that they got a lot done. I think that the girls helped a bit. I know that they cleaned up inside the house a bit too. Goodness knows it needs it!! If I ever feel better, I’m going to ask my friend Jo to come over and help me clean my son’s bedroom. It’s bad right now!!

I’m so pukey (is that a word?!) right now. I think I’m going to be sick…I gotta go. Night All! 💤😴

Well. Today was bad. The entire day and evening, well so far, has been spent lying down. I can’t keep going like this. It’s grating on me. Bringing down my spirits and I hate it. I really don’t have anything to say about anything. Life keeps moving around me, while I lie there like a lump. My oldest daughter drove my younger daughter to dance this afternoon, since I was in bed. They thought I was actually sleeping…what a joke. I was just like a zombie most of the day. Maybe I’m turning into a zombie, with some virus that makes you totally sick, lethargic, gives you a headache and drives you crazy!! Maybe I’m just the first victim! Or maybe I’m just losing my mind…likely the latter. I’m worried about how long this has been going on for. I simply need sleep. This no sleep thing is taking it’s toll on me. Obviously, I’m writing about zombies. I did mention that I had nothing to write about. It’s not like I actually have a life or anything exciting to tell you. I wish!! Nope! Just the annoying past month of hell!! It’s gone on waaaay too long to be a bug or even those pills. Hopefully when I call Dr Hauptman on Tuesday, he’ll be helpful. I don’t have an appointment with him until November 21st. I can’t wait that long and continue feeling this way! I’ll have a nervous break down before then! I need his help sooner than that. His or Dr Mays. If only they would give me something to help sleep. That would change things. Sleeping would help I just know it. So, even though it’s only 7:25, that’s what I’m going to try to do. Sleep!! Night All! 💤😴

Tired tired tired. I wish I could just sleep! Like a normal person… but nope! No such luck. I’m so sure that I’d feel much better if I’d only sleep. It’s so so frustrating to me. So I called the pain dr’s office today. It looks like I have to wait until Tuesday now. When I called, the voicemail said that the clinic is closed for the day. Well, crap! He’s only there on Tuesday’s and Friday’s. So, I guess I call again on Tuesday. Not a whole lot I can do about it. I just feel horrible and I’m sick and tired of feeling like this. Argh…

The new Supernatural was on last night. My daughter and I PVR’d it and watched it tonight. It was sad. I don’t want to say too much about it, because it’s brand new and I don’t want to spoil it. I don’t know if anyone who reads this actually watches it. But I’m just saying it was sad and leaving it at that. I could hardly keep my eyes open to watch it, but I can’t sleep either. Well, I don’t know what to do about it. I’m ready to give up. Not that that changes much. I just keep plugging away at it…I don’t know what else to do. I guess I’m going to try to sleep. Yay! That’ll be different. Night All! 💤😴
