That is one pricy pill, but if it works then it is worth it!!  Would the IV antibiotics be as $$?  Could you go to somewhere to get the IV daily or are you house bound with this nasty infection? 

Do take care of yourself.

Hey, Catherine...I’m not house bound.
I would have to have a RN come give me the IV and it would be the same price.  Which if the nurse was hot, totally worth it! 
But whats the chances of that?
So Im going to choose the non needle option.

Good to see you haven’t lost your sence of humor ... LOL

I hope the insurance comes through for you. My husband spends a good part of his work day frustrated with insurance--but that’s not as bad as it is for the patients.

Cripes! Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth it to have insurance these days. Seems like they have you bending over no matter what.

Skip the workout, Chad. A staph infection is nothing to mess around with. Lay low until you get a clean bill of health. Hope you are better soon, hot nurse or not.

Geez, I haven’t visited your thread for a while and look what happened.  You better take care of yourself buddy.  That stuff is nasty.  I hope you can work something out with your insurance company.  Hopefully once you just through all of their stupid hoops they’ll go ahead and pay for the pills.

Chad, how are you doing with that infection? Is there any improvement?

Hey, guys....
Things are getting better with the infection.  My insurace came through and paid for the prescription, which was nice because the pills ended up costing $85 each, for a grand total of $1640. 
The swelling and pain is all gone and the wound is almost gone.
Yay.
I’ve been doing some light walking/jogging and I’m ready to kick it back in high gear.
Hope everything is going well for you guys.

Yah!!!  Good News!!  Glad they did the right thing.  Enjoy getting back at it full swing!!

Hey, that’s good news.  It’s amazing that those pills cost so much.  I’m just glad they’re working.

Glad to hear all is well Chad.

Good news both about the insurance and about your recovery. You were VERY lucky. Make sure you keep an eye on the infection site.

And don’t go too “high gear.” Make sure your body is totally healthy first.

Glad to hear you’re doing better!

Okay....here it goes.
Monday and Tuesday, I started off slow with no weights and just walking/jogging around the neighborhood...beautiful weather - yay.
Tonight I spent an hour on weights working out my chest and triceps.
I left and started home, but decided I really have to focus on cardio, so I turned back around and spent one hour and ten minutes LSB.
I only planned to go for 30-40 minutes, but I threw in a good movie on the dvd player and I couldn’t stop watching.  I finally had to make myself stop.
I guess I’ll finish the movie tomorrow night at the gym.

Thursday, I skipped the gym and did some much needed yardio.
I’m working half a day today and headed to Dallas for the weekend for the SHE WANTS REVENGE concert.
I’ll be back on Sunday.
So I imagine the next couple of days will be rest days without much rest. 
Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Have fun.  Try to stay out of trouble. 

Ditto what Carrie said!

I’m not sure Chad can stay out of trouble, it seems to follow him around.

Sorry I haven’t checked in on you in a while, you’ve had one crazy month! Glad to hear your knee is getting better, how are the bp pills working?

Bree

Hi Chad! How was the show?

I’m not sure Chad can stay out of trouble, it seems to follow him around.

It’s true.  I’m a chaos magnet.  The weekend was actually pretty drama free....

I didn’t get much exercising in, but I did eat healthy for the most part.

The show was great.  I’ll post a pic or two when I get home tonight.

And the blood pressure pills are actually working out great.  There’s only been one noticable side effect, I don’t think tatoos are sexy anymore. 
It’s got to be the strangest side effect ever.  I want to see them put that in the journals....
