Rainy days and Mondays

And it's both today. TJ came home at 6:15 due to no work....they were told yesterday it would be a full day. What happened overnight??? It was raining pretty good when we went and picked up TJ's Rx that got screwed up....they didn't auto fill it and he neglected to look and see he was out. Since it had quit raining we drove over to the greenway to go walking.....well, take a wild guess where it IS raining..........


..........yep, the greenway.....3 miles from home.....and not just sprinkles. We waited for about 15 minutes....just got heavier. We came home.

Now that my appointment is tomorrow morning, I'm starting to get a little apprehensive, anxious, nervous, etc. I guess I'm afraid what she's going to say....afraid of the lab results...all that stuff. I researched the one drug she mentioned wanting to put me on....the side effects are NOT minor enough for me to agree to it.....upper respiratory infection (I have asthma), joint pain (already have arthritis), anxiety, digestive problems, fainting, seizures, constipation, weight gain, INCREASED blood sugar, depression, pancreatitis...these are reported by current patients......NOT the patient handout. These don't seem to justify taking it....there are older, generic drugs that work well with relatively few side effects and are only about $10 on my copay instead of $35. Gotta work with in MY comfort level and budget. I understand her concern for my welfare but I've seen too many of my family have bad reactions to drugs and $35 is too much to pay to find out I can't take it. Am I being unreasonable? Stubborn? Or just cautious?
