I’ve got someone who will take me BMX bike riding and then will play with makeup and nail polish. And will happily make a couples costume for us.
How perfect!
At the pharmacy and as I expected getting the morphine scrip filled has been Not Smooth.
Because guess why? That’s right her insurance is inactive.
Because even while they changed her status in the system today that won’t propagate out to the pharmacy database until tomorrow.
Sigh. I sympathize. I had an insurance change last month that took three weeks to get sorted out with the pharmacy.
Does hospice have resources who can help with those sorts of issues?
Oh David I'm sorry .
Also smonster I am so happy you have found someone!!
The hospice was supposed to have a morphine delivery an hour ago but I decided not to depend on that because I knew her meds would be wearing off by 5:30.
I will come back on the computer tomorrow but I am cursing our new reliance on mobile devices. I cannot do a true meara like I could at my desk 23 years ago. But I want to bracket everyone.
Let me tell y'all about two more people who deserve Fucking Champ recognition: Matilda's teacher Ms. Stuart, and Jacqueline's previous supervisor Tracy.
They are wonderful people!
David, I hope you were able to get JZ's meds.
smonster, I’m so happy for you!!!
And being bi, I could never decide between Oz and Tara. And now I don’t have to?
SPARKLY PINK HEARTS EVERYWHERE
Fie on the morphine SNAFU. Of course that would happen but still, fuck that shit.
David, I hope you were able to get JZ's meds.
I literally had to run through the Haight with a bag of morphine to get her meds to her before her last dose wore off, and we cut off the breakthrough pain at 2.
And that's the SECOND time this year I've had to run home with pain meds which were stuck in pharmacy purgatory to get ahead of her pain.
It's a stupid system. But at least in this instance I told the discharging doctor I wasn't leaving until I had a scrip for liquid morphine because I wasn't just trusting the hospice would have their meds to her in time before 5:30. (In fact, they did not. They were 40 minutes late and that would have been pain at 7 or 8.)
