from the neighborhood forum: neighbor's Dr just wrote her a Rx other day. not sure just what her med issue is... but she posted up her Rx monthly cost prices from several local pharms...Just found out i have A-fib when i was in the hospital for covid. Never had any issue's that I knew of but that's what they told me..Said it could be the result of the covid but now one is sure. The did a bunch of tests and said valves and whatnot were all good. Gave me the Eliquis to take. $465 a month.
No I didn't get the shot Mike. Looks like I'm good to go for a bit. From the looks of things the shot only lessens th the severity. My doctors were surprised how quickly I started to recover.
Yup, mine costs me 480.00 per month. And that's WITH a pretty good insurance plan. Great, isn't it? There are cheaper options than the Elequis, but with the others, they require you to have constant bloodwork done, and you have to be careful about the stuff you eat, and watch your diet etc...Much less of a PITA with taking Elequis vs. the other medications.Just found out i have A-fib when i was in the hospital for covid.

Best of luck to you. Hope your surgery goes well, and that your healing time is minimal.
I would have never known I had it it if I had gone in the hospital for covid. I always thought I felt fine. I have good insurance so that helps.
Sorry about that, I have A-fib before covid & never heard it was connected to any Virus. I know most people who have it have it for years, before they are diagnosed. I was at 59 & the doctor kelp calling me young, so I ask why & they said most people learn about A-fib in they 70's & 80's, so I was young.The "cure" is to stop & restart your heart or scar your heart & sometimes it take more than one treatment, some people take meds for the rest of their life. Eliquis has a program for reduced price if you are not Elon Musk, your doctor should have told you about it.Just found out i have A-fib when i was in the hospital for covid.

I keep three rolls in the bathroom at all times.
Government had declared a national emergency. Well, I say government, you've probably heard we kinda don't have one just now..... The caretaker has declared a national emergency.
I also had a hernia about 40 years ago. The doctor was going through the options and mentioned knockout or local. I'll take local. Doc says, nobody ever chooses that. I say, why did you mention it then?The only thing disturbing was when he was cutting through my muscles, I think it was. Sounded like someone cutting a burlap bag with a dull knife.
guess this is out:
That is great that everything turned out very well.
We'll let you you slide since it's so hot Neil.I had a knock at the door yesterday evening, wasn't expecting anyone so immediately thought it's likely someone who will ask, 'do you want that wood?' and glance sheepishly at the remaining Oak out the front of the house. Now what's left there after my heroic 60 + wheel barrow marathon, is about a third of a cube of the most horrible big crotches and huge 'risk a hernia or slipped disk just to look at them' bits. I need to get the big saw out to chunk them up a bit before they go in the barrow to the back. So as I walked to the door I was considering saying, ' no you can have it if you like.'. However recognising that would lead to scrounge membership revocation I thought maybe...'I'll sell it, yours for £20'..... But no. I open the door and the guy starts as I expected, ' hi I pass by lots and see you've always got loads of wood....'. Go on I think..... And then there's an unexpected twist....'I've just taken down a load of Leylandii, it's all cut up into short bits, would you like it?'
When I regained my voice, I had to thank him for thinking of me but pass! I've no room! I am full. My wife would have ripped my balls off if I'd done different.... Scrounge card tendered for surrender
I remember my brother's advice when starting to scrounge.... Be prepared for feast and famine, never turn wood down because you 'have enough'. Well this summer has been feast. Actually it's been over doing it somewhat but with our gas prices expected to rise another 75%. (yes, 75%, on top of the almost doubling we've already seen in the last year) I'm glad I've wood and wood stoves. It's financially sensible even when on the mains now.
Yep, same here. I've probably got 4 or 5 years of wood. Some had not the best coverage and is getting a little soft on the ends. That'll be burned this year.
I wouldn't take it as a warning and would choose it again. Maybe doc broke his scalpel and grabbed the ole Stanley knife to finish up.
good to hear FS! i bet all those there in the 'need to be planted' collard-family, etc... were glad to see u up and about, too!
