What a day. I want to throw something and no pills

[waterflow]

Uro wasn't there again today to do the heparin but the nurse that has been there for many years did it. I can talk to her about anything and decided to fianlly ask why and what. I asked her if I was in the way now for him to do the instills now or did I say or do soemthing. She said no. That they have been swamped with so many new patients and they take longer to do with paper work (Which I know that) and she took it on herself to do the instills herself. They both are getting older now nad harder to do things. Told her I understood that completely. :rolleyes: told her about my second mind thinking I shoudln't come anymore and she said no. Just he's really busy and other doctors who refer a person to them are getting mad because they are seeing the PA doctor instead of one of the real doctors and she said my Uro is getting stuck with everyone and all the procedures to do while the other two hardly ahve anyone. Which I have noticed too. My uro is there almost all the time while the other two aren't. So, now I know. So I don't feel bad about it but I wanted to try the cymbalta and she called it in. Told her just for 2 weeks worth first to see if I can tolerate it. It was called into the grocery store where I get my groceries and had too so thgouth no big problem. After getting groceries which took a good 45 mint. I went to get it and they hadn't even bothered to fill it! :mad: All they did was put it in the computer so I waited and waited and I just couldn't wait anymore. For one the ice cream was starting to melt along with other frozen foods, I wasn't feeling good with the aching and pain since I hadn't taken any pain med yet and I was getting very tired and it's a long drive home so I left without the cymbalta! :rant: I won't get back now for at least a week and nothing to take. Thought about the celexa but that just makes me worse. I'm going to send the store an email and tell them they need to hire more then just one phaarmacits. Here they re-did the whole pharmacy section with new walls ect. and it looks good but good are looks when a person has to wait 1 hour or longer? I waited for 1 1/2 hours all together and left very mad! Threw the groceries in the truck and floored the gas pedal. Not good to drive that way but I just want to throw something really but not sure if that would help any. :rant: Guess I will deal with the small pharmacy that opened up last year from now on. Much faster but have to make an extra stop but that is ok. Only have to wait 5 minutes to get pills filled. :smile tee So now I have to calm down some how. Plus I'm all out of Calgon! It can't take me away....:bonk:

Well, on the bright side you had a nice chat with the nurse and know now that it's just being busy that's stopped the doc from doing the instills ;) And it sounds like it was pretty nice of her to take it on herself to do them for you - she must really care a lot for you!!! YAY! That's always a good thing! :)

Ugh, so sorry you had troubles with the pharmacy though - I know how that feels, geesh. I get mine through our insurance's mail order pharmacy, ugh. It's a better cost but this latest fiasco really ticked me off...grrrrr. My doc's office faxed in my Rx for my Wellbutrin weeks ago, I finally get an answer from my Rx company as to where they might be and they say they never got the Rx faxed to them at all:cussing: So, a few phone calls later and I had to have my doc's office re-fax it in - my doc had the record of them faxing it to my Rx company too. Some days you just can't win *sigh*

Keep your chin up and give the furbabies lots of cuddles!!!!!!:smile tee

Hey sis! Boy, it seems if it weren't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all. Oooohh, glooooooooom dispare and agony on me.......now all I need to do is grab my straw hat and finish the Hey Haw song. :bonk: (Ok, supposed to read Hee Haw song. Not Hey Haw song...goodness me)The store used to be so nice but they out grew it really. they used to have at least 2 pharmacist working all the time where now they only have one. Which I don't understand since they have more people now. I wasn't the only one who left mad yesterday. Here they spent money on making a new better looking pharmacy place. Supposed to make it more organized but they only have the one pharmacy and one woman trying to take care of everyone who walks in. the other woman only stays over when people have a new script. makes no sense to me at all. At least I can go to the small family owned pharmacy so I dont' have to stay with them.

Hey, I do have a recipe for Elephant stew. want it?? :lmao: I've thought about trying it but my oven isn't big enough to handle it all. How about yours? :) We could throw a big picnic for everyone. How many potatoe chips would we need to go with elephant stew??? :help: (Sorry, silly bug got me again this morning) :loco:

If you have a pharmacy near you, you could call them and have your prescription transferred there. They can do it all by telephone.

Donna has a great idea...Even if they've already filled it they can cancel it and send it to the pharmacy of your choice. Something to think about anyway...and maybe you won't have to be without your medication so long.

Mary...Your last post reminded me of an episode of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel. It was on last season. The host, the very hunky Mike Rowe, was in the middle of Tennessee on a logging job. The owners of this logging company use Mules to help with the pulling of the logs to the trucks.

Okay, okay...I am getting to the point of this post as quickly as I can. :lmao:

It was on this program that I learned why Hee Haw was called Hee Haw. Did you wonder that yourself or were you much better informed than I was?

Anyway...Those are the words the drivers of the mules use to tell the mules which direction to turn, right or left. I don't remember which one means which direction, but I thought that was very funny. For some reason, I think Hee means right and Haw means left but it could be just of opposite.

:) :) :) :) :)

[waterflow]

I didn't know they could transfer a script that already had been filled. thanks for the information. I can do that tomorrow morning. Thanks again for letting me know.

Sharon, I watched that episode too!! :) I love that show but do wish he would learn to wear a mask more often. I don't remember them saying the hee haw thing and just figured it was the name of the show but how interesting. We learn things on TV when we don't even know it. :lmao: I've been singing the Hee Haw show while cleaning too. can't get it out of my head now. :rolleyes:

The way I found out was when one of our daughters was visiting from out of town and forgot one of her prescriptions. We telephoned her pharmacy in California and they told us to go to a local pharmacy and have them call. It worked like a charm.

And when we changed pharmacies because of poor service, I just gave the new pharmacy a list of our prescriptions and they transferred them all.

I have just recently changed my meds to 2 new pharmacies because of cost.

[traceann]

:) hmmm, I just might pass on the recipe Mary, lol. I too have an oven that's probably too small, and well, you know how "great" it works anyway!! :bighlaugh:

Good ideas on changing the pharmacy that way, I completely forgot about that option - duh. ;)

Oh I just love Mike Rowe, my mom now watches the show every day at 4 or 5 I think, so I gotta catch it too, hee hee. He's got the greatest voice, another reason I like to watch "Deadliest Catch", ;) The Dirty Jobs episode where he's at the quarry (was just on the other day) is what my hubby does. Only, not the blasting, :) He works in the screen house where they have to clean the belts (but not like Mike did, they have a different tool, but does have to scooch along) and then he also loads the trucks sometimes. I had to sit and watch it so I could ask questions and find out just what it looks like! :)

[waterflow]

Ok Tracey, I'll make the elephant stew. With your oven half might turn out burnt and the other half would be raw. Raw elephant stew to me sounds really eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwie....:ignore: Just the thought of it is making feel sick. :lmao:I'll let you make the potatoe salad. I hate peeling potatoes. I did buy two of those inflatable pools. One to hold the punch and one to hold the dump truck load of ice-cubes I ordered. Think I should make a giant jello mold for dessert? Not sure if I can carry a 50 pound shaking jello mold. :rolleyes: Now all we have to do is set a date. Summer time might be too warm and everything would melt or spoil fast to fast and the rotting smell of elephant stew along with potatoe salad might be a little more then we can handle. :wink:

Mike Rowe was an opera singer. I just can't picture him doing that. I did see that quarry one too. You can't have a fear of small places. the one last week where he went underground in a cave I never would have done. Exspecially when he crawled in the crack to look at the spot that had never been seen before. I was sweating just watching him do that.

[SharonA]

Yes, he was an opera singer. Did anyone see the special they did on the anniversary show? He sang country on it and was very good.

[traceann]

You got it Mary!! I'll make the salads - but the jell-o is aaaaaallllllllll you!! hee hee hee ;) For some reason, I can not ever get my jell-o to be how jell-o is supposed to be, ugh. Leave it to me, only I could be jell-o challenged!!!! :shake:

Oh! He was an opera singer - that explains a lot, like the episode with the pipe organ, and he sang a little Dirty Jobs ditty, I thought he sounded fantastic! Now all makes sense, now -------- is he single? :evilsmile

[SharonA]

Tracey...Are you trying to fix him up with Mary?

[traceann]

Oh that would be waaaaaay too kind of me - I am purely being selfish here, :evilsmile LMAO!!!! :biglaugh: Not that I don't love ya Mary!!!! hee hee heeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Yeah yeah - I know I know......... but he's so darn cute!!!! ;)

[Trishann]

Hi Mary, it has really been a long time of seeing you post or maybe I have miss it, anywhere just want to say "HI". Oh I also had my RX tranfer by phone to a differ Pharmacy due to poor service. Hope you where able to get your RX sooner.

Sending hugs, Trish :)

[waterflow]

Gee Tracey, what a let down. You're gonna keep him all for youself? :shake: You know I am closer to his age then you so that brings up the "old age before beauty" discloser. :wink: Yupe, last time I looked on his web site he has a girlfriend but he is keeping her hush hush. Figures too but he lives in CA which is like living on the moon to me. We are both jello challenged! I always get a layer of hard jello in the bottom of the dish after it sets. I've tried eating it but it's like rubber but I supposed with a 5o pound jello mold no one will ever make it down to the bottom so no woories right? :lmao:

I ithink it was last year he made and sang the theme song for dirty jobs. Wonder if her makes more money on the show or opera singing?

Hey Trish! Howdy...I've been around popping on and off. More off since my little children seem to have taken over my life. Plus my interent is soooooo slow there are times when I pop on but have to pop off because it would take trillion hours to just try clicking on one post. Hope you are doing well.

An old country girl here, living amonst those who still horse log.

For the record, Haw is left and hee is right.

But, all the Hee in the world doesn't make that phamacy right! Sounds like they outgrew decent customer service!
