missdianeIt's now been a week since I ran out of my metformin. Mind you, I told folks at the doctors office three times at my appointment last week that I was out. If they were waiting for the blood tests, I got those via email the next morning and as we saw, it's working and needs to continue. After I got other meds (turns out I guess I had/have a fungal infection, long story) but not the metformin, I put in an online request and also requested refills to make it now a regular thing.
When that got ignored, I called on Friday morning and evidently my doctor was out yesterday but that they'd tell her. Yeah, that went nowhere. I meant to call yesterday but forgot but fine, they got the day after the holiday to catch up.
So now I am implementing Operation Midwestern Overniceness. It tends to work far better than throwing a fit. I called just now and put on my most sweet tone, friendly but logical request and pretty pleased and expressed my worry. I also did politely reiterate all the times that I've tried to get this filled in the last week. They said they'd ask her ASAP and get back to me.
If I don't get a call back, they will get a repeat of this golly-gee helplessness every.single.business.day. until the guilt EATS AT THEIR SOUL and I get my damned meds sent over.
You catch more flies with honey, after all.
On another note, I think that I saw a few...earwigs? in my kitchen yesterday. Small skinny black bugs? I have absolutely NO clue how or why they came in other than maybe all the moisture outside lately drove them in. But anyway, if anyone has advice in case I see more, let me know.
