Just a reminder, so please pay attention.

[Stinky The Clown]

27. I went to the ER on Wednesday for a different reason but was tested and came up positive

I had symptoms that mimicked a mild stroke. They tested me for Covid and I was positive . I am on Paxlovid and now feel a little better. "Stroke" symptoms gone.

Sparkly tested positive on Thursday. She is also on Paxlovid but continues to feel crappy.

This is our first Covid rodeo. Not sure what to expect.



Side story. Sparkly's doc called in an order for Paxlovid. We went to pick it up but the pharmacy was out. They said if we went to another pharmacy, they call pharmacy 1 and get the script transferred. We went to pharmacy 2, across the street. They had it but don't take our insurance. They said the could give the med but the cost was over $1,000!!! (I think they said it was $1240).

We go to pharm 3, diagonally across from pharm 2 and directly across the street of pharm 1. They have it and lets us have for $47 after they speak with pharm 1. They call and put the phone on speaker . Rings, and gets a recording "helping others" and music and recording and music. This got on for maybe 10 minutes. I get a card from the pharmacist and drive back to pharm 1. I ask them to call pharm 3. The clerk says pharm3 knows they need to call here, not us call them. (fuck you, comes to mind but I was remarkably calm (for me) and told her I was just there and she called you and we listened to it ring and ring unanswered. I came back here because my wife is the suffering waiting for the call to go thru.

She says she will "have the call made".

I step out of line and stand, quietly where I can see the person she told to make the call. She notices me a few minutes later and asks if the can help me. I said no. Just waiting to know the call was made.

Sparkly calls me and said they got the call and she has the Paxlovid.

What A Shitty Fucking System We Have. "Hi, can I help (stress) you?"



Thanks fir the post, and reminder, TNN!
