Hi, ladies. Much better today. Thanks for the med suggestions. When I told my wife what you had said, she was in total agreement. I will call the doctor to see what can be done along those lines. I'm sure he'll get with the program. I also looked into Melissa's thought on Walmart generics. While I detest most everything that Walmart stands for, I can get 5mg Finasteride at $9 for 30 days. If I divide a pill five ways, that bottle would last--add two, carry the seven--what, five months? Yeah, let's say that. I think that qualifies as affordable.
I don't think I've mentioned this in the blog, but my computer situation has been rectified completely. I'm back on the desktop which was in quarantine since January. Mrs. Leslie can take credit for that, her finest accomplishment (outside of birthing babies) since she rebuilt the carbeurator of her '68 Ford Fairlane. Her sister has restored function to our primary laptop, too. Just a passel of hidden talents in that side of the family. What exactly do I bring to the table, other than comic premises?
The dysphoria has fallen off a bit from my day of crisis, but having been triggered, I expect it to linger. I'm already thinking about clear cutting my lower extremities, the sooner, the better. Yes, Caroline, there will be hair vs. hairless blogs to come, rest easy. They always return, like Halley's Comet.
One more thing. I feel that I have said the same things at least twice over the course of this blog, and I am trying to find a fresh angle or new subject to change things up for me and you, dear readers. I need inspiration. The silly Sponsor piece was a joy to create, very energizing. I want to capture that energy, punch some holes in the lid, and keep it on the shelf next to Hitler's brain, where I can access it easily. Blogging has become more of a struggle this year, where the words used to flow. I still like the task, but it has become work, and the results have that feel to it. I want to be leaping to the keyboard, and creating magic. Sleight of hand would suffice, in a pinch.

I vote once you shave the extremeties, wear leggings or yogapants or god forbid (jogging pants) to bed, in fact start wearing them prior to the shaving. At least you'll get some pleasant hairlessness in before the cold shoulder starts.

Wow! $9.00 as opposed to $85.00! That's is quite a savings, and even better than I thought it would be. I know how you feel about Walmart and I share those feelings, but their low prices are very hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the South Park episode, where Walmart opened up a mega store in town, and even though everyone was initially opposed to it, they all became addicted Walmart shoppers. The local businesses all had to close for lack of customers, so the kids burned the Walmart store down! With no Walmart left to shop at, everyone returned to the one remaining local shop, and his demand became so great, that he began to expand and eventually opened up his own Walmart like mega store!

Hey, Melissa, I thought that was a Starbucks (called Harbucks in the show)? Tweek's father owned a small coffee shop, and a Harbucks opened across the street. Everyone started going there, and the kids were coerced into doing a television spot to help protest this. "I like... small... business...es." Well, then again, I haven't seen all the episodes, so maybe they've started to run out of original ideas.
ReplyDeleteOh hi, Leslie! I almost forgot, this is your blog. ;) $9 for 30 pills, what a steal! I can't believe I was paying $23 for 6 pills at CVS. No wonder everyone keeps going to WalMart.
Hi Leslie, 2 posts in as many days....shopping in Walmart....whats happening? Has the world gone mad?
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you again....but watch the sharp bits in the pill cutter
Well done on finding 5mg pills. That's cheaper than I pay for the same on an NHS prescription charge!
ReplyDeleteWithout a prescription, even finasteride is REALLY expensive. Hope you can get hooked up with the cheap stuff. Can we say Rapunzel?
ReplyDeletePeace, Tina
You have a wonderful sense of humor, girl. Keep using it in your blog.
ReplyDeleteMy blog was going to be built around humor and somehow my sense of humor rarely shows in my blog, which is used for therapy more than anything else.
I love your writing, so keep it up.
I hope the meds work out.
