As I lay in the hospital taking chemo, a stranger appears at my door & introduces herself as my Social/Case Worker, Amy. I didn’t know I had or needed a case worker. She said that she had good news & bad news, which did I want first? I said it doesn’t matter, just give it to me. She explains, post chemo I will be getting a Neulasta shot to help restore my white blood cells. The bad news was if I took it while INPATIENT, my Copay would be $745.00. The good news was if I waited til the day after I was discharged & come back to the clinic, it would be FREE. Considering how I was feeling at that time & doing the math, it was a no brainer … I would come back the next day! I felt really good when I left the hospital, just a little tired was all.
I was discharged on Sunday, February 5th in time to get home & watch the SuperBowl pre-game & the Steelers VICTORY that evening! It was a good day …
