Actually, all the doctor’s patients do go to the same pharmacy because it is part of a private business/insurance cooperative with its own doctors and pharmacies.
Long story short, I ultimately did talk to a live person who said to ignore the “do not refill” on the bottle and order the refill anyway. She didn’t realize the automated system won’t accept the request and seemed not to believe me when I told her. Next time, I should do it two weeks early online and get them through the mail and hope no one steals them off my front porch.
I appreciate the other suggestions, although for me, calendars don’t work because they become wallpaper. Planners and lists don’t work because I lose them. I have a booklet full of web addresses, accounts, and “hints,” but I have no idea where it is, nor can I find my checkbook, slippers, car keys, socks, paperwork, etc.
It would be easier if I lived alone and could control the space, but I share it with three other people and their stuff. I can’t remember to put things in the same place every time, and even when I do, there’s no guarantee they won’t walk off with it. It would be great if I could establish a rigid, mechanical routine, but so far, no luck with that – I’d lose the script, or it would fade away before I learned it. It’s crazy how many plans and task-lists and schedules I’ve written but not been able to use.
What does work tends to slip by me, but is probably where I need to pay more attention. If I got something done, what preceded it? What triggered it?
No clue how to “friend” anyone, so if someone knows, please tell me.
@kjacnm: It strikes me as decidedly Not Cool for a pharmacist to comment at all on what you are taking or how much. But maybe they know things our doctors don’t tell us.
