What we are eating and what's eating us.Sunday!

Guys,I have a question for you and it may sound strange. Has anyone ever had a pharmacy mis-count your pills? I am convinced that happened to me and I am going to speak to someone when Walgreens opens.

Hang loose, and remember, if you feel someone is trying to hurt you, go with your gut feelings...Hugs to all!!
  

Hi Linda.....yes it has happened to me once....I talked with the pharmasist and they gave me what I needed. I have been going there for years and they didn't give me any hassle about it at all. The pharmacy techs are usually the ones to count and sometimes they slip up...so I was told. Has never happened again.

Other then the med issue I am praying you are doing better today!!

Exes.....I have learned to never give them anything!! The last time I gave money to Tony because he so desparately needed to pay a phone bill....hahahahaha....he really used the money to pay his girlfriend's car insurance!!!! He still owes me about $50  and I intend to get it next payday or I will be letting her know where he is when he isn't with her!!! He can't stand her kids and comes here to hide out once in awhile!!
I don't think she would like to hear that!

I had a wonderful and relaxing day yesterday and plan on repeating that today!!  I wish the same relaxing day for you!

B-yogurt w/kashi and string cheese
S-almonds and blueberries
L-talapia and sauteed onions, red peppers and summer squash!!
S-apple w/ peanut butter
D-?? not sure if I will be home or not
S-???? 

 Love and hugs my dear sweet friend...Boo...to you! 

Hey Boo, I gave 100.00 to the baby. I am done, I did this because helped me with my grands when they were babies.
It is good you are resting, I had one day of anguish,I am fine, Thank God. Yes, I do believe they short changed my Vics, I know how many I take. Now I have nothing for a week, and I would not put myself in that position. I will have to take Alieves,just to be able to walk,may God protect my insides.They are talking the 9TH!!
Love you so much, dearest Boo.

Linda,

I haven't had my pills mis-counted (that I know of), but I have had the wrong dosage dispensed twice (different pharmacies).  I noticed the difference of the color of the pill when I got them home, called the pharmacy and was told, "Oh, that's the higher dose..."   Which could be dangerous.  Scary.

Last night my husband and I went out to dinner to celebrate his birthday.  It was a lovely meal but I managed to eat way more than I should have.  Well, today is a new day.

B:  peanut butter chocolate protein shake w/ 1/2 banana
S:  iced decaf latte w/ SF caramel
L:  2 oz crab, 2 oz asparagus, 1 tbl Hollandaise sauce (leftovers from last night's dinner)
S:  3 oz light yogurt
D:  2 oz black-eyed pea cake, 2 oz squash w/ herbs & lemon
S:  4 oz SF pudding

Jean,I am happy you enjoyed your meal. Today is another day, and your body may have needed the food.
Thanks for checking in, it is a class C drug, so they will not release it. I have to wait until Tuesday to talk to membership services.
It sucks...smile.
Hope you are having a great day!!

 Don't know if any of my meds were mis-counted.    I guess I should check them.... 

B: kashi & yourt    L: meat w/ veggie   D:????   Hmmm  I think I need to buy groceries.....  S: protein shake

My prayers and thoughts are for in need.  Have a wonderful Sunday.  Millie

Hiya Millie, I worry for the older people who do not get the meds, or the wrong dose. I pray for them.
I hope you had a great Sunday!

Good afternoon dear Linda. I have thought of you often this morning. I have read your message to me last night. Sometimes people think of us ad door mats. God wants us to take care of our brothers and sisters but he does not want us to be used by people either. Just remember that~God loves us and expects us to a good person but NOT someones door mat. Just my thought to you for the day.

I have a baby shower this afternoon. I will be leaving shortly but I need to eat since I am STARVING! I forgot to eat breakfast this morning. Not a good thing at all. In fact I think it sucks the big one!!

B: glass of milk with meds
L: not sure of what is out there for me but something
D: fish and veggies (can you tell we love fish!)
S: not sure of that either

At least I am consistant with the not sure things. That seems to be the only thing that I am sure of! How sad.

I am keeping you in special prayers my sweetie. I know that it hurts when we find out that we were used. Pray for forgiveness and also pray for the ex since that is what God wants for us to. We need to pray for those that use people, that they learn to not abuse people around them for their betterment. I am sending big old hugs and lots of love to you and I pray also for your family. I hope that all is doing better. Just remember to "Bear patiently my heart." But remember not to pray for patience since then He will send things to your life to practice that. Take the long route for that thing!

Yes I've had been short on meds. It seems they have more probs with smaller pills.
I always count them now as soon as I get them...it's a pain in the behind but worth it.

This isn't strange at all.  I used to work at a mail order pharmacy taking customer orders for refills over the phone and this was one of the more common mistakes.  They filled thousands of drug orders by mail and I would guess it occurred once every 100-200 times. I'm kind of estimating based on the number of calls I took for refills vs the number of calls received about inaccurate pill count.  Of course all the calls we got were because they were shorted, never got any because they got too many!  If you're taking expensive medication it can be a costly mistake so always count your pills. It's a pain but worth it.
