Stressed Out

It has been a stressful morning. I checked my tacrolimus refill on the app from my mail-order pharmacy, and there was a big warning sign

The order was “place” on Tuesday and seems to be stuck. I called the mail-order pharmacy and they said they were waiting for a callback from my nephrologist’s office. I then call my nephrologist and they said my doctor was out of the office. I reminded them that I run out of this anti-rejection medication next Tuesday, and that is with taking the lower dosage from the previous refill. Well, at least they are responsive. The office staff is getting another nephrologist in the office to sign the prescription, calling the mail-order pharmacy, and then calling me to give me status. Still, a bit stressed out that I may run out of my primary anti-rejection medication.

I also have not heard back from work or USC Pharmacy on my pre-registration for an “illegal” second vaccination tomorrow. This is stressing me out as well. I fully expect to be rejected, but was hoping to hear back before driving 40 miles to work in LA traffic. Wishful thinking, I know…

Ugh, 2:45 pm and no updates. I just called the mail-order pharmacy and they still have not heard from my nephrologist’s office. Not sure what is going on. I guess I have to harass them again.

I do have plan C though. Plan A was getting it from my local pharmacy and that failed. Plan B is what I am dealing with right now with the mail-order pharmacy. Plan C is refilling my existing prescription (though for slightly less dosage) with UCLA Pharmacy.

Man, I did not expect to do live blogging. Just called my doctor’s office and they faxed(!) in the prescription within 15 minutes of my call this morning. I am guessing that it is sitting in some queue that gets cleared periodically? Hopefully this resolves itself by tomorrow morning. If not, then I can call UCLA for the refill and either go personally to get it, or have them mail it to me.
