We are planning a three and a half week holiday in Scotland and Lindisfarne shortly calling in on Dea in Derbyshire for one night and staying another night at Perth on the way.
The preparations for this are horrendous under normal circumstances but add in my level of medication it becomes puzzling in its complexity!
I normally do my medication 4 weeks at a time which is straight forward enough but add in another 4 weeks and a 3 day journey and the fun begins. The 3 day journey to get there means that if I were to take all of the insulin that I need with me it would warm up and spoil!
I duly applied for 8 weeks medication yesterday and not having done it before jumped in the deep end and surmised that if I did not get it right I would hear about it? I sent a second order for Sue's after and that was complicated by the fact that one of her tablets has been cut down from 1 a day to one every 2 days. A further complication was the fact that I needed a separate prescription for 5 vials of insulin to be filled in Scotland?
About 20 minutes after I pushed send on the order the phone was ringing!!!
A very nice, but confused, young lady from the medical centre wanted to know what I wanted, and after I explained it all once I had to go through it a second time to ensure she had it right in her head (I do not know her but was left wondering if she was blonde by any chance? (and that is a joke))!
Fast forward to this morning.
At 0550 I was logged in to the my medical records checking to see if it had got through ok and it all seems correct.
Now this morning it is just going to leave me to ring the chemist to explain why the extra prescription and hopefully we shall be all done?
Well that is except for having to sort them all into separate compartments for 8 weeks but hey that is simple compared with trying to get them one hopes!!!
