That you prayed for her…my goodness, you are a good, good woman. A kind and wonderful human being. My heart is aching right now.

Wasn’t healthcare reform a big part of your election choice? Sadly, it’s gotten lost in the economic woes, but from where I sit, NEVER has it been more necessary…

When you’re stronger, we’ll rant about these approval services almost every insurance company is using. I’ve had procedures I had to FIGHT for (one surgery delayed by 35 days, after originally being approved), and I’ll save the rest for a good rant later!

Alison,

Here is the Humira hotline number: 1-800-4-Humira. Perhaps they can facilitate delivery of the drug, or they may be able to help in some other way. Even if it’s a long shot, it’s worth a try. And be sure to stress how serious your condition is.

Sending you wishes and prayers to get better. You have incredible strength. You are in all our thoughts.

I can only echo what everyone else has said. You are one of the strongest women I know, and one of the best. I pray the medicine gets there asap and starts helping immediately.

I am so relieved when I check my Bloglines and find an update from you! I worry when there isn’t one…Hope you got that shower, and enjoyed it, too.

Hey, check your email for sure! I sent you something to cheer you a little

And yea for showering! I know how I felt last May when I dragged my gimp butt and crutches upstairs to the shower (after a week of sponging). The person above who said taxing and tiring badly underestimates the positive value of being NORMAL, even if it’s only a little bit normal! Plus clean and good smelling is a wonderful lift.

Alison:

I used to work for members of the California Legislature in a past career life. You, or your husband, should contact either Ira Ruskin’s office (he should be your Assemblymember) or Joe Simitian’s office (he should be your State Senator) and ask them to help you. I will e-mail you more specific details.

You are in my prayers!

*love* I can’t think of anything to say that hasn’t been said by most everyone else here. I love you and hope you find what you need soon. You are an amazing woman. My love and all the goodness I can muster to you and Richard and those who surround you both.

Please keep going. Know that we are all praying for you. And Sonya sent me over to say hi and pray for you.
