I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.

The doc I've been seeing for the last few years decided to not practice medicine as a regular doc, and now only works urgent care. I did not find this out until today when I called to make my appt.

I'm going to run out of pills about 3 days before my appt to go get a refill of my meds. I left a message with the clinic but they haven't called me back about it.

:smith:

Maybe try https://www.livehealthonline.com/ ?

You literally "See" a doctor via webchat and get maybe get a script refilled. I had a friend use it and she literally got a script for a few motion sickness patches for a cruise in less than 10 minutes.

But it might depend on what you need refilled. I imagine things like opiates, or stuff like Xanax or Valium might be harder to get a quick refill on from some doctor who's never met you before.

Gonna give the clinic today to call me back, and then I'm gonna just call the pharmacy I use and see if they can front me some pills to get me through the appt.

If not, might just see if I can use that link and score a 90 day refill. Saves money in the long run and I'm gonna be on these fuckers till I'm dead anyway.

After pitching the receipt for some underwear, I realized that only half of what I bought is actually the right size. Because what possible reason would I need to return underwear? It's underwear.

Welp, cost me 50$ to learn they can't refill my medication because it's a schedule IV controlled substance that I've been on for most of my life, so I can go to an urgent care clinic and spend at least 140$ more to get a refill to go to a pharmacy to spend more $$$ on some pills to get me through the time till I can go to the doc, which I'll have to give him more money to get a new permission slip to go to the pharmacy to give them more money for the god damned pills again.

Upcoming next, withdrawal symptoms! Hooray!

I'm sorry cause I feel like I'm one-upping you. Once I ran out of a med due to an insurance gently caress up and the pharmacy had to charge me $600 for FOUR pills :bravo: (no I could not pay for it so I didn't get any :bravo::bravo: )

The irony of medicine talk is that it's absolutely a First World Problem, and not at all what that phrase is supposed to mean.

Related: On Friday, I spent close to 4 hours at my pharmacy trying not to have a panic attack because I waited til the last minute to get my new psych meds refilled. I'd not used this exact medical system before so I didn't realize that they ask to give them 72 hours to write new scripts, plus I didn't realize my pills didn't have any refills on them. Luckily I was able to get them to handle it for emergency reasons, but it took a very, very long and stressful time.

I sent my phone in for a repair and it was shipped back to me Friday evening, and got to my local FedEx facility Saturday. It could have been shipped to me then, but Motorola didn't pay for Sat shipping, which I can understand.

But then today I check the tracking, and it's listed as "Package not due for delivery."

I looked that up and it basically means the package certainly COULD be delivered today, but FexEd is deliberately holding it an extra day. Motorola paid for "2nd day shipping" and since it was so late on Friday, that doesn't count as one of the "business days," so officially the "two business days" are today and tomorrow, even though they could have sent it out today. Basically, they do this so that people don't start to expect to get their packages sooner than what was paid for. Because gently caress good customer service.

I had that happen to me, and complained about out to FedEx, and the reason was it was still boxed up in one of those big loving tractor trailers they use for hauling things. They unbox/unpack em as they go, and since mine was in a later trailer, it didn't get offloaded until it was near ready for delivery.

Still sucks though, and they really really need to add an explanation to their website about it.

In a similar vein, it's been ~85 all day (shorts weather) but every forecaster is promising that it'll become colder and rainy Really Soon Now (pants weather) and I'm dreading having to be out and about if/when that happens.

Kitten pooped on the rug right before I left for work, and I stepped in it. I only realized this once I got to the car and realized something smelled like poo poo. Kitten took off when I came back in the house. Right now same kitten is hiding because she pissed on another throw rug. The litter boxes are all clean. She got a clean vet check. I have no idea wtf her issue is, unless one of the others is bullying her when we aren't home.

You can get a drive dock and see if you can salvage some stuff. Theyre like $30 or something super cheap. Actually I guess that involves taking the computer apart but if it's busted anyways and if it's out of warranty :/


My problem: my recalled graphics card is so broken but still functional enough that I can use my computer (and play games). But I want it to be working properly but I don't have the time to bring it in and have it replaced, even though it's a free replacement.

My 8 cats drag me out of bed to do the complicated dance of feeding them all separately and I'm still too lazy after feeding them and doing a ton of physical work. I still go back to bed. We both need a drill sergeant (maybe a big cat) maybe not a cat because cats are assholes :catstare:

My boss has no set date for my transfer. I am, in every sense of the word otherwise, transferred to my new store already. I have been for three months according to payroll and every system there is. Save the fact I still report to the center 35 miles away every loving day and not the one almost walking distance.


The pool filter broke and there's a leak in the water pipes so I drained the pool to prevent mosquito outbreaks. Now we have this empty pit in the backyard and I want to turn it into a garden but I doubt anything I do will turn out okay.


I am also trying to grow grass on the other side of the yard, but nothing I do is working. I either overwater or don't water enough.


Maybe I just need to hire a loving landscaper.

I have to be very careful not to get sick in the next two months because I thought I was better partway through a cold but I was wrong, so returning to work for the day (which turned out to be a mistake) just split one sickness into "two in a small period of time", and a third one will get me a writeup. It'll be a first writeup in three years total but I'd like to avoid that. loving weird UK weather...
