At my doctor's practice (and i think this is common in Canada) I can only get a prescription renewal with an office visit. My Dr. gives me and Rx for 6 months worth at a time so they can monitor my BP. Which is always high, unless they leave me alone with a BP True machine, because I get White Coat syndrome.

It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Opioid prescriptions can only be for a month at a time.

Same with Adderall. Not that I've heard ANYTHING about that getting filled. Plus I have to have another office visit before she will do the first refill. I'm guessing that is another insurance thing.

They have systems here for ePrescribing these, but they have a verification thing they do between the physician and pharmacy. They will also take phone calls from the practice. Super annoying for sure to have to pick up the paper script.

If I wake up early tomorrow (blah), then I can get to the doctor's office before work and pick up the script, then go to work, then bring the script to the pharmacy to get it filled after work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think that's a federal law now.
I think New York has eliminated paper prescriptions, actually. I know my Percocet was called in when I had my gallbladder out.

In Vermont I could only get 1 month if klonopin ...at least that's the way I remember it. And I had to take in a written prescription. In NC I can get a 3 month prescription electronically sent.
Grandma is still in the hospital. They gave her a blood transfusion and also got her an air mattress to sleep on. She's gotten out of bed with help but she's still quite weak.
My brother and nephew are down there but I don't know if my brother will be able to see her...or if she'd be up to it.
He did get stung by a cow killer ant which is really a type of wingless yellow jacket. Dad said he thought my brother had stepped on a stingray based on how much he screamed.
My nephew was there and said "Walk it off Daddy".

Learn from my mistakes. Don't Google cow killer ant. Sounds painful. Sending ~ma for Grandma's recovery. It takes a really long time for someone her age to recover.

Yeah I'm happy that everyday seems to be an improvement. She's also back to her normal levels of confusion which is weird to say is a good thing but it's a good thing.
Cow killer ant are baaad.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hope the effects of the cow killer ant sting do not last long. And it is good to hear that your grandmother is improving, if slowly.
