Well Thursday was a good day both weather wise and my ability to start regaining some strength as I did quite a bit of walking and staying up and on my feet. I had a doctors appointment with my new primary care doctor at the Bardmoor Clinic where I was assessed, given a pneumonia shot and prescribed some cream for my rash as well as received a good word on whether I would need Eliquis the rest of my life. The Doctor wants me to have a blood doctor to check my blood for any disorders that may cause me to clot quickly thus the use of the blood thinner. I like his attitude about this as I'm not one to take any meds forever. We headed up to the Canadian pharmacy to order 3 months supply of Eliquis at less than a 100 bucks a month whereas Walgreens is charging over 600 bucks a month. Sure makes you wonder why the difference is so much and that big Pharma is taking advantage of us, Americans.
We came back just before lunch and I hand watered the gardens before eating and then our dear friends Sheri and Steve came by for a nice visit bringing us a spaghetti squash cooked with meat sauce for our supper. Delicious to say the least. They stayed for an hour or so then headed out. Nancy took off to run errands and to pick up my scripts at unreasonable expense.
I rested and read the afternoon away and then we spoke with Bobby who made it to W.Va. for the viewing for Paw Paw after his flights into Dulles. It was raining and foggy on the mountain but he got there and visited with the relatives. He will attend the burial at St.Johns today Friday and then head back home getting in some where around midnight. I sure do appreciate him standing in for me during this time. I could never have made it with these lungs the way they are. I saw a video by some nurses speaking in front of congress who claim the treatment of this covid is worst than the virus itself and those who received at least two doses of Remdesivir only had a 25% chance of not dying. I had 5 doses and thats probably where I got the blood clots from. We got word a Viet Nam buddy who is younger than me is in bad shape at the VA and will probably not survive. I'm so glad I decided to not use the VA during this crisis. The medical staff at Bay Care have and are doing everything to save me, LATER
