Aw, go you!

Advice: So, I meant to call in a refill for my anti-d yesterday and forgot. This morning I realized I only had one pill left (I take it twice a day) and went "oops" and called...only to realize I didn't have any refills. I called my doctor's office, and they supposedly sent an "urgent' note in the system asking for a refill, but said they'd call me, and I haven't gotten a call (supposedly it can take 48 hours, and complicating it is the fact that my doctor has apparently left the practice--I got a letter in the mail last week).

Issue being, not only do I not have a dose for tonight, I am leaving for a work trip tomorrow morning, and not back until late Friday night. Which would be 3 1/2 days off, which is bad.

Anyone have recommendations other than "try calling doctor's office again in the morning and begging"?

WS, that's wonderful! And totally expected, given everything you've ever said about your job. You never puff yourself up or brag, but it's always obvious just from how you write about it that you understand all the intricacies of it and how deeply it matters to you that you do your utter best for the patients and for the whole workplace. I'm so glad your supervisor noticed it too!

meara, just keep calling (including right now, after hours, when it'll probably be picked up by an answering service who can page whoever's on night call, which would get around the issue of your original doctor being gone). Do you use a chain pharmacy that could take the refill and transfer it to a branch near wherever you're traveling to?

I'm glad they recognize your awesomeness, WS.

I hope you can get some, meara.

That's lovely recognition, WS!

This.

Plus my pharmacy will "front" me a few pills in emergency situations. Usually just enough to cover the 48 hour wait, but they may be willing to cover the length of your business trip.

I meant to post this here instead of Natter, but I left it there too.

As upset as CJ was last night when all the crap was going down with the bf, I found out today that CJ sent the bf a text to fix the shit. Never got an answer of course.

K-Bug didn't answer when I tried to call her today. Whatever. For now, I'm over putting energy into it. If one of them wants to contact me, I'll talk but until then, no more bad energy.

Now I can move on to stress over CJ's driver's test in the morning. Some license~ma would be appreciated about 7:15am board time.

And since I seem to be on a roll. CJ came up with the idea to put the rifle in our friend's gun safe on his own. No prompting from me. As noted earlier, that is the lessor of the issues but it shows that he is trying to be a responsible person about this. Nice to have someone in this mess show some maturity.

I use a chain pharmacy, but it's a local chain, so can't easily transfer. I think my plan is to call first thing in the morning, and if the doctor's office has no satisfaction for me, go beg the pharmacist. Annoyingly, the person I talked to at the doctor's was like "Well, the best bet is probably to make an appointment". I was like "For *today*????" Seriously? ridiculous.

Which AD?

Thanks everyone! I figured we could use some good news around here, and a win for one of us is a win for all.

Go CJ, I hope you drive tomorrow with all the maturity you have shown about your rifle today.

meara, good luck with getting that straightened out. Not sarcastic there - with a bit of luck, the pharmacy may well float you a few days' worth. And I hope you can get an appointment quickly.
