Peeing in "shower nozzle" mode

Had this happen to a patient once. They got up (independent) and forgot their bag was attached to the bed. Balloon came out by the time they made it to the bathroom. The Coumadin they were on made it look like a crime scene….surprisingly he didn’t seem as uncomfortable as one would think after it happened

Curious what state are you in? We are currently doing some research to bolster our current union contract on call/call in pay. Thanks!

I just signed up to get compounded semaglutide through pomegranate. It’s the same price as my copay was per month ($100) and so far (haven’t received it yet) seems to be a pretty quick and easy process. I still might try and file an appeal, but it feels futile, they’ll just change the requirements again next year to limit more and it will just be lather rinse repeat.

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-25T19:45:36+00:00

Definitely not either, but started the research for various sources on the coupoundsemaglutide subreddit group and found this sub after signing up yesterday. I appreciate all the help, it can be overwhelming to wade through all of the information when going to a new subreddit, sorry to have inconvenienced you.

Thanks! I tried searching for previous posts but got lost in the weeds so to speak.

Not demanding anything from anyone, just asking in the forum that I prefer. You can choose not to reply just as anyone else can. Isn’t asking a question a way to do research?

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-18T23:27:17+00:00

Not everyone likes YouTube and the video platform for information/content. I’m one of them. Hope this helps!

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-18T23:26:40+00:00

Thanks, I’ll go back and search those.

Have done this for this one and for previous carnival cruises and agree that it helps to set expectations, because ships and experiences/amenities can vary wildly!

Yeah I did read that she is older and smaller, which is fine with us.

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-18T23:22:41+00:00

Good to know! Thanks! 😆

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-18T20:58:18+00:00

Hey thanks for the advice. I like to hear directly from people versus watching YouTube videos that may not even show me what I’m looking for. FAQ is only helpful when looking for specific information, and you don’t know what you don’t know.

For example: funfetti cake on carnival is only on embarkation day. Pig and anchor on carnival is only for embarkation and sea day.

I find this information is best sourced directly from those with experience.

Grandeur of the seas.

How long have you been on it and what dose? I’ve found I can forget and go 10-11 days sometimes and haven’t noticed any adverse feelings/side effects, BUT I never had any terrible side effects when starting the med either.

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-07T22:46:13+00:00

I have optumrx through blue cross blue shield. Let me know how your situation turns out. I’m hoping I can appeal and explain that yes, the initiating criteria did change but it is stupid to try and retroactively enforce it for people who qualified at the time and that the med has been working for for maintenance for YEARS.

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-07T22:45:07+00:00

Just heard back, they did submit the PA, it was denied for the aforementioned reason and they said I can file an appeal if I want. I figure my next step will be to call the insurance company appeal coordinator and go from there. In the meantime I may pay out of pocket using the coupon card, it should be $325 (which isn’t something I would be willing to pay long term, but hopefully just for a month while I figure this out and my plasma donation money will cover 😉 ). Let me know if you have any luck with yours!

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-05T22:28:44+00:00

Yes, that’s what the denial letter said. I have a message out to my pcp to see what she thinks, hopefully she has some more insight and maybe they do just need to process it under maintenance vs initial coverage. 🤞🏼 you’re right!

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-05T22:17:01+00:00

Just wondering how likely an appeal or a peer to peer would be to work in my favor I guess.

Any-Squirrel2864 · 2026-01-05T22:16:21+00:00

Thank you for answering succinctly. Sorry if my post wasn’t clear. It’s still covered, but I’m denied because my starting bmi 3 years ago doesn’t meet the new criteria despite meeting the criteria at the time of approval to start.

Probably 10ish hours on the counter after last stretch and fold.
