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?
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
David, I hope you were able to get JZ's meds.

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.)

On the plus side, even though I'm 62, I run almost every day so I didn't have a heart attack trying to help my wife. So that's a win that I dedicate to the Kezar Stadium steps.
