Roomie's Update...

Well, Roomie is home resting, and the doctor packed up her wound with gauze while it "drains". Can I say, I had a flashback to when Meowmix was in the hospital after the doctor botched up her c-section and she got an infection, causing Meowmix to have her stomach packed up with gauze a few years ago. Lucky me, I just so happened to be there while they were changing the gauze??

Well, that's what happened last night when I hear Roomie scream because she was looking at the gauze and "accidently" pulled some of it out. This time, I didn't turn green, applied all that I learned from eps of ER and Grey's Anatomy (My thanks to McDreamy and Clooney), and Roomie was enjoying the after affects of the Vicodin while getting a new bandage and gauze.

Then we had the lovely "discussion" with the Walgreen's pharmacist who gave Roomie the wrong type of pills (he gave her capsules when the doctor clearly said tabs). The idiot refused to correct it and Roomie, being that she is an employee of the Damn Rat (cough cough Mickey), had no health insurance. Walgreens INSISTED that she eat the $31.00 she already paid and now pay $91.00 for a LIQUID version.

1) Pharmacist never said squat about a liquid being available until the end.
2) They don't believe in they are ever wrong which, in this case, they were.
3) According to the other Walgreens down the street, I was told that this was for "profitability" measures and the determination could only be made by a Pharmacy Manager AND the store manager.

Roomie is now going to fill her prescriptions at Costco. I should have asked for some Xanax as a nice parting gift! And in other news, the damn rat told her she had to work today, regardless of the doctor. Gotta love Orlando...
