It's here...................

But where is it? I called my pharmacy this morning to see if their electrical problems were resolved and if they had my med. They answered yes to both questions. So I drove out there and stood in line for 15 min. That was ok because I was going to pick up my script and go home. Uhm. Or not. When I got to the window I was told that my meds were not ready yet. I said, "But they were this morning when I called." She said they were backed up because of the problems yesterday and it would be about a half hour. I said that I would wait. As I sat there I heard them talking about my meds. I heard someone say that she filled it early this morning. Then I see the tech going through ALL the bins for storing the filled scripts. A half hour later I hear, "I found it, you can stop looking" and shortly after that, I was  called to the window. Then I was told that the pharmacist wanted to talk to me. So I waited for him. He was concerned because my dosage was double the normal dosage and he wanted to verify that it was correct. He said that he had tried to contact my dr. I promised him that I would double check with the dr before taking it. Then the pharmacy tech came. I asked if it was in the wrong bin. She said no and didn't want to talk about it. She was pretty frustrated about going through all the bins when it wasn't in any of them. I'm guessing that the pharmacist had it set to the side and didn't tell anyone.

In defense of the pharmacy. They just moved into a new building and are dealing with those bugs and problems and they are switching over to Walgreens. That is where the BIG problem is. As I observed things for almost an hour this afternoon, I came to realize that almost everyone had problems getting their scripts. Many, like me, would stand in line and then spend time at the window and then go sit and wait until things were figured out. At this time, all the old scripts have to get new Walgreens numbers so no one can phone in a refill. Everything is a mess. They promise that things will get better. I told the tech that if things get worse, they'd all better leave. I can't wait to go back for more refills. But they did save me $8 on a probiotic that my doc wants me to take. It was $30 on line and they will sell it to me for $21. That sounds good to me.

I really can't believe that anyone would read this boring blog. If you made it this far, I should offer some kind of reward. But too bad; I'm not.
