April 6, 2009 10:20 PM 52 days to go

Well, the battle was joined and these outfits never cease to amaze me! When I called my internet prescription provider and mentioned that my prescription that was requested on March 18th now had my doctor's authorization as they required, they stated that the authorization was obtained after the prescription was written so that it was now null and void! I would need to get another one! When I called them last Friday, no one mentioned that this was the case. They stated that they "would take care of it".

Likewise, they stated that I am only allowed to obtain a maximum of a 60 day supply from my local pharmacy. Thus, since I have already refilled my 30 day supply once, I no longer have the local pharmacy option available. So they nicely position you between a rock and a hard place! It's not a big deal to get the prescription rewritten, but you never get a straight story and they don't tell you the rules of the game at the beginning. The just tell you the rules that you have violated as the game plays out. And they say that they are recording their phone calls so as to provide "the highest quality service". What a joke!

Did I win the battle? Probably not - but I do live to fight another day.

Other than that, my day went fine and I feel the same way too. Wednesday is coming up and I'll get an update as to where I stand at that time - but I foresee nothing of any substance occurring other than to confirm that I am still proceeding apace.

So, there is not much else to say for the day...
