Hey all! :wave:
Just a "little" off topic - but my Huz' grandmother (all these are mother's side) is from Stein, Toggenburg, St. Gallen, Switzerland; his grandfather was born in Corgemont, Bern; his great-grandmother born in Wattwil, Toggenburg; his great-grandfather is from Emmen, Lucerne.
I've been to Lucerne - Beautiful!! My mother and I took a bus trip and we're having fondue - unknown by my mother that is was just bread and cheese - she got tried of eating all that cheese - so we took the bread to the lake and fed it to the geese! And Black Forest cake - yummy!!! Love that stuff! What is the older Chalet-Restaurant and what city?
No, unfortunately not - or would that be fortunately! :waitasec: LOL! We did get a phone # for a group called "Impact" which deals with men with prostate cancer, so my Huz is gathering all the info they need for their help. He has another appointment on Monday to see his cancer doctor and will get all the right letters for Impact; plus other letters the lady at MediCal asked for to "see" if she could do "something" for the Huz, so we would not have to pay that $1000 a month. I don't know "how" she will able to do that, so we wait and see for now. Also, yes, I know about the drug companies that offer free meds; I used Pfizer for my Celebrex until I got on MediCal, but now I'll have to see about that again! Only had to pay $3.60 a month for them, as they go for $104!!! Yikes! Also Huz used Aztrasenaca for free meds. A company my sister used to work for in Sweden!
I do have Part D! As mentioned above ^^ but the Huz won't get Medicare until he turns 65, which is 2 years from now... From what I understand the lady at MediCal is going to put the Huz separate from me, and will wait until I get a notice of sorts regarding him not qualified and than she'll help us get him on CoveredCalifornia - which I guess IS Obamacare. So :waiting: for all red tape, paper work to go thru...
first bold - yeah, it sucks!! LOL!
2nd bold - :tyou:
Oh - good idea! I'll do that - plus our rent got increased by $50, but we haven't had in oh so long - maybe like 5 to 6 years now.
I'm watching Part 3 I think, about the tunnel escape! And will watch tonight's episode! Thanks for the reminder!
ILikeToBendPages - how can AARP help? I am a member! It' unbelievable what they can charge for meds these days! Disgusting, if you ask me!
Thanks for the Good Luck
Spellbound! :luv:
On the Medicare charging me again for Part B - I'm thinking NOT to do anything about that, as the lady at MediCal said their computer hadn't updated anything since 2013. So if they go back to 2014 and see that I wasn't eligible than, they'll make me pay back the $105 twelve times!!??!!! I don't need that! But I will call the phone # I got at Soc. Security office this morning. It's called HICAP Services of No. California - a program of Legal Services. See what they suggest!
and THANK YOU ALL for the help! I really did forget about the drug companies giving free meds! We'll see which drug cos. can help the Huz with his meds!
okay - sorry - another LONG thread! :lol:
Going to sign off for the night - but first have to check out Teresa Sievers thread for the "new" info released!
Take care everyone! :seeya:
