#my medication did get filled

[tj-crochets]

So it turns out there's a big craft guild organization thing only a few hours from where I live (I saw an ad for their craft fair), and I got like half my holiday shopping done on their website, and the box arrived today! The thing I was most excited to see in person is fragile, though, and it's really well wrapped in bubble wrap and I don't want it to break when I mail it to the friend it's for, so I am not unwrapping it, but oh man the temptation is there lol I also got myself a little metal bug made of a bottle cap and some wire. It lives on my little corkboard where I put postcards and thank you cards now

I’m currently very upset about the American healthcare system. Like I hope they know that they are making people actively sicker 🫶

Like I always do, I’m still thinking about other planets covered in water containing so many large and frightening looking aquatic creatures that by human definitions are alien marine dinosaurs, both deep sea and deep space creatures

And because I’m always thinking about Humans and Vulcans, I’m currently thinking about a Human who’s a marine biologist who specifically goes to other planets to check out creatures like that but they’re on medical leave because of what happened on the last planet they were on

And I’m imagining them happily explaining their job and the Incident™️ to a Vulcan they met on public transportation while the Vulcan uses every training technique they’ve ever learned to not outwardly show how horrified they are

one thing about working in pharmacy is that no matter how careful you are with a controlled substance it’s inevitable that you’ll lose a pill

eregyrn-falls replied to your post: "Ran out of my acid reflux pills and even tho..."

WE JUST DIDN’T FILL IT. whaaaat the fuck? (i assume that’s different from “we’re so backed up that we haven’t gotten to it yet”). Anyway I did give up on Walgreens as a pharmacy recently, for a few reasons. But I have easily-accessible alternatives; I don’t know about you. I hope you do!

I mean, they didn't use those exact words. they didn't even say anything other than "oh yeah we got this last week" and I had to prompt them like "so could you fill it so I can pick it up tomorrow" and they were like "yeah sure"

anyways, I get texts from Walgreens when they're working on my scripts and when they're filled, so when I didn't get any texts from them today, I was a bit worried. and I was right to be. bc I found out why they didn't fill it!

apparently this medication is available over the counter. and Walgreens (100% just the company, not the individual pharmacist, who is actually great and does a fantastic job, he just works for a shitty company) decided that filling it as a script was more expensive than me getting it over the counter. so they decided, without consulting me or my doctor, or even NOTIFYING either of us, that they wouldn't fill my script and I could get it over the counter.

and like, okay, it's definitely LESS expensive as a script for me bc my insurance covers 100% of medication costs (and I am v lucky for that), and I feel like the explanation was kinda bullshit, but I don't know the details of what goes on in pharmacies. but HOLY SHIT fucking LET ME KNOW you have unilaterally made that decision for me!

I spent today and yesterday SUFFERING bc I thought a script was being filled and they had just decided not to fill it without LETTING ME KNOW. they should have told me when they initially decided not to fill it last week, but 10000% very much needed to yesterday, when I called to be like "hey can you fill this" and they said "yes we'll fill it and you can pick it up tomorrow"

I'm just flabbergasted and frustrated and UGH.

luckily, I do have more options for pharmacies, including one that I get my ADHD meds at bc Walgreens hasn't had my ADHD meds in close to a year now. so I'll be calling my doctor to switch primary pharmacies to one that won't send my meds to other cities (which Walgreens has done) and will fucking FILL SCRIPTS AS WRITTEN.

beating the “can’t take care of himself” allegations by making my own dinner multiple times this week and doing household chores!!! a lot of the time i had a hard time motivating myself to do things and wouldn’t eat or do tasks and i am getting better at it!! a lot of it i think was dealing with a psychotic disorder and the lack of motivation that comes with that because i’ve noticed that since i was put on my medication, i am able to do a lot more now!!

There's a habitual focus on person's last words.

But a much more relevant question is what are the last comforts and joys that can be squeezed in before an oncoming death

In hospital, it's things that healthy people don't seem to notice much

A flannel wash with really hot water, feels so much better than just a functional wash. It reminds you of hot baths and hot pools.

The taste of a sweet lolly you can suck on without worrying about choking or getting nauseous

The drop of water to wet your tongue, even when you can't drink safely

The feeling of the morphine or midazolam kicking in, and easing the breathlessness

Being repositioned in a way that helps the ache in your back

Your favourite people just being there, listening to them talk and laugh with each other while you rest

The cool cloth and ice block and fan until the fever comes down

Knowing that there's someone there who will come to you
