Pillaging
We're leaving for a long road trip early Monday morning, so I went to the pharmacy to renew my prescriptions because I will run out of meds six days before we get home. I was not allowed to renew the meds because each was a 30 day supply and I have to wait until the 30 days is up before getting more. But this is Wal-Mart so I should be able to pick up my renewal meds by transferring to a Wal-Mart pharmacy where ever we are on May 19th when my 30 days is up, then transferring back here when we return.
No, that won't work on all of my meds because the pain and sleep pills can only be transferred once, and I transferred them here when we moved from Kissimmee to Davenport. They suggested I go see my doctor for new prescriptions I could fill on the road. I did, however he says that won't work because he is not licensed anywhere except Florida. But he wrote all new prescriptions and sent me back to Wal-Mart to try to fill them.
Back at the pharmacy, for the fourth time, I got two out of the four prescriptions. He had changed the dosage on one, so it was allowable and he increased the monthly supply of PRN pain meds so I got that, too. The reflux meds were denied because there was no change in number or dosage, and the sleep meds were denied because Well Care doesn't cover it. Workmens Comp does, but I can't refill that until the 19th unless I pay for it myself. Six days is $40!
I started my day's outing at the Hair Cuttery where they had promised to redo my peach hair color to something more acceptable. The new color still has a lot of orange in it, but God had a reason why the first hair job didn't come out because I was able to visit with the manager about the Lord. She is a delightful lady and by the time I left, I really didn't care what color my hair was. I was able to clear up some theological misinformation she had been given and invite her to church and I was thrilled about that.
Next I went to Wal-Mart and my "pillaging" odyssey began. I was most of the day fooling around with all that. Richard told me to go back tomorrow and cough up the $40 just to be done with it. He's seen me without sleep meds.
I went, exhausted, to Giveback and was so glad I had not caved in to the fatigue and stayed home. It was an excellent and informative meeting. I also had a chance to discuss Jesus at length with a sweet new friend.
So, even with its frustration and fatigue, this has a thrilling Thursday and I am thoroughly blessed.
And my day was like this...

And my day was like this...
- 08:22 Bad start to the day. Jasper sprayed the bookcase right in front of me. Arggggh! At least he hit no books, just the wood.
- 09:39 Last minute administrative details before we leave on our 2 week road trip. Will I forget something important?
- 13:48 I'll run out of meds mid-trip. No refill allowed, too soon. Had to go to MD for new prescriptions.
- 14:50 Time to go pick up the pills IF the insurance company OKed them.
- 15:37 Got some meds with new prescriptions, but insurance wouldn't pay for some. Cost is too high for me to buy. Will try to renew on trip.
- 17:48 Leaving for Giveback.
