Just picked up a prescription, and found that it was for a 2-day supply, instead of the 30-day supply I usually receive. CVS tells me this is all that

will cover for the month. Wish someone had told me that before Friday night, so my doc was available to get it sorted.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at
reps.fyi
or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

"good luck getting the holy trifecta of a doctor to prescribe it, a pharmacist to dispense it, and an insurance company to pay for it" This applies to too many medications. It shouldn't be this hard.

Dad gave me a book binding kit for Christmas. Started on my first book this afternoon. Made my signatures and sewed them together. Now waiting for the glue to dry. Next step is cutting the front edge, which I am so worried I will screw up.
