A very hard time for my family

I'm very sorry for not posting much lately my friends. But things are still a bit chaotic and slow to get back to some sort of version of normality! Lol :)
I had some issues with increased pain myself lately and a need to change my pain meds being the results. So hopefully soon I'll be back to normal posting levels sooner! ;)

My love and I are so very happy to be together again, and we sure thank you all for your thoughts and prayers that have surely helped us! :D

PS. I bought a cheap Gimbal head, so hopefully I'll be able to get some good squirrel photos after it gets here and I practice a bit! :D I believe the gimbal head is made by the same manufacturer that make's Beike's gimbals, and though it's not a great brand I have high hopes it will still work great for me. They say it will hold over 12kg's, though I don't have a clue how much more! Lol ;)

Yep I'll post any photos worth saving for sure, and I let you know what I think of the new gimbal tripod head too! :)

Hey my friends! Well things are slowly ( it seems verrry slooowly) getting into a semi-routeen, and I thought I'd update a bit! :)
A quick thank you to my buddy Martin first for checking in on me! Thanks my friend! :D

My beloved is doing better except for the extreme pain caused by medications issues. Insurance won't cover certain med, due to the prescription calling for three pills a day. They are fine with the amount of mgs a day, just not divided in to three pills instead of one or two pills a day. The funny thing is that it's not really a pain pill, but it does help with chronic pain once it has built up in your system. Crazy, I tell you!
And talk about really weird is I just got back on the same medication at a higher dose without issue from the same insurance co. simply because I get it in just two pills a day. But hopefully we'll be able to get this issues fixed next week, because my beloved won't get much relief until it's fixed.

Anyway this is just one example of what we've been dealing with, in our efforts to get back to some sembalence of normalcy.

But as I said things are getting better, though all so sloooowly.

Thank you all for your friendship and your thoughts and prayers! I believe it's made a huge difference and I'll forever be grateful! :D

Thanks for the update. I was thinking about you today. You're both in our daily prayers.

Keep on truckin' you too!

My wife asked if they would cover the meds if you did a larger dose for like 2x a day, but then manually cut that dose down so she could take it 3x a day as intended? If it's a liquid gel or a capsule or something that wouldn't work, but some of the other meds should cut fine.

Thanks for the update Bill!

The issue is now solved thankfully with splitting the prescription into two prescription of the same med, but in two different doses to equal what she would have received in three pills.

The manually splitting a larger pill was not possible, since the pills are capsules and can't be cut in half. It would have been nice had it been that simple. Oh well it's fixed now thank goodness. :)
