Today was truly atrocious. A real winner.
It started yesterday. I take a breathing medication once per day. It is an inhaler, works well and has never given me trouble.
Obtaining it, however, is another matter.
About a week ago I got an email from Walgreens telling me that my prescription would be available in a few days. Fine. Then two days ago they told me I could not get it refilled as they didn’t have any. After calling the store, they said it would be in stock. (I am not even going into the interminable time on the phone, listening to crap music). Well I found out early today via e-mail that I could pick up my prescription at their store in New Brunswick. No No No. My car is still frozen to the ground, I am considered handicapped. No way. Driving on Route 1 to New Brunswick is a hell ride.
Then they told me I could have the scrip delivered. Fine.
Well that did not work out either, because the only way I could pay for it would be to pay on a CELL PHONE. No e-mail, nada. It seems their pharmacists are not permitted to enter credit card numbers. Why I can’t do it via e mail or their website like I buy everything else–well that’s one for the philosophers.
Bottom line–tomorrow I am having my neighbor walk me to my car, going to the Dr.’s office, getting a sample to tide me over, then seeing about switching to my local pharmacy right here in town. To hell with the big chain pharmacies–I’d rather pay more and have better service.
And the local pharmacy delivers.
God bless everybody.

I would definitely go with a local pharmacy.
That’s what I am going to do.
