David A, you redneck you, that sounds like one terrific day with your boys! And best of all, I bet your wife got a day off to do some girl things, huh?
I say buy the drugs if you can work it into your budget, it sounds worth it to me. Let's see - four weeks in a month, divided into $185, that's, hmmm, $46.25 a week - isn't having days like that worth $46.25 a week? Plus, file the appeal or special request or whatever with your insurance company, they may end up paying for it. When I was undergoing infertility treatments I learned that all kinds of things could be gotten that were off the regular meds list if you asked real real nice (and real real persistently!).
I'm glad you had a day to remember!
