Hey Ikea, Check This Out

Image

 So I bought chair. 


A lovely chair from Ikea


 Unfortunately it was not to be. Within days the cushion, which  never fit in the cover properly. It was always deformed within day


I took it back to the store twice


As far as I'm concerned,  three time and your out. I just now want my money back and the chair gone.

The Pharmaceutical Giants of the World

Have you ever dealt with the great, I say that tongue firmly in cheek, pharmaceutical companies of this great country?

If you’re reasonably healthy, I would avoid it at all cost.


If you’re a person of limited means or a senior you probably have no choice.

That’s where I’m at. AbbVie Inc, one of the biggest out there is always advertising their wonderful compassionate care program.

Ya right… since four months or so my doctor has been desperately trying to get me a drug and been turned down at every turn. Interestingly enough they did at one time approve me for Humira but it became ineffective. Since then I’ve been through four or so different biological and would like to give another one a try.

Well nope, too bad, so sad… I guess I’m now old and no longer important, Namaste.

Time Flies...

 Man, where have the last six weeks gone. The cast comes off tomorrow morning and I swear if something interferes with that such as bad healing, I'll take it off myself.

I'm done with this thing...

On a sad note, a friend lost her life in a really a5upid accident that I'm sure we've all done at some point. You get to a parking garage and can't reach the ticket dispenser. You open your car door, put one foot out without putting the car in park.  This turned tragic as our friend tumbled ou5 of the car and she died. I won't go into detail, she was only 73...Namaste

Methotrexate Day

Every single week I have to inject what I consider poison.

Much to my husband's concern, I do this on my own, no nurse, no doctor, just me.

He of course runs and hides like a little girl so he wouldn't have to see me do it. Kind of funny actually.

Now two hours in I'm in my meth fog. Think I'll watch Bridgerton on Netflix. Nothing like a good RomCom to make me feel better.

Ciao...

Motorola - Did Not Dispoint

Image
A broken Bluetooth, not terribly old actually. I’m going to qualify that by saying the ear hook never ever fit right and dropped a few time albeit on a soft surface. This morning I bent over to pick up my glasses, which I admit to dropping constantly, and this fell off my ear from about two feet onto a fairly soft hardwood floor.

When I say Motorola did not disappoint, I don’t mean that in a good way. I was informed that abuse was not covered under any warranty. Huh!! I didn’t throw them or stomp on them, they literally fell off my ear. 

Just another big corporation screwing the little guy....Namaste
