This past week was super stressful for me. I found out that my dad's supplemental insurance stopped paying for his medications .... right now he's close to $1200 in the hole. No one notified us that January meds would not be paid for by the
insurance company. Over a year ago he was diagnosed with dementia with possibly an Alzheimer's disease component. For the last year he's been living at the
Inn At Marietta assisted living home where he receives his medications and regular, nutritiousl meals. Last Friday I was informed by the
Ohio State Plumbers & Pipefitters Health & Welfard Fund Board that they will no longer pay for his medications. AND I was told " I had" to use
CareMark for mail in prescriptions. Then I was told by the
Inn at Marietta that "I had" to take care of ordering, delivery and keeping track of the medication to
CareMark (note: I don't live in Ohio and it's 40miles). AND I found from
CareMark that he has to have a credit card or debit card before I can order the medication. Now I cut up that credit card a year ago because he was charging like a wild animal. It never ends. I was on the phone from 9AM until 2PM trying to get this all straightened out.
So I've been pretty depressed ....... to cheer me up a friend sent me the following:
No matter what life throws at you, No matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem Remember, there is a light at the end of tunnel
