Stupid question of the day
Apr 21st
I get my prescriptions by mail and yesterday I got a new one for my female problem. Progesterone. The directions say:
TAKE ONE CAPSULE BY MOUTH AT BEDTIME FOR TWELVE NIGHTS * TAKE ON DAYS 14 THROUGH 25 OF CYCLE.
Day one of my cycle would have been the first day of my last period, right?
That was the 12th. Start taking these at bedtime of the 25th.
Oct 25th
The medication refills I requested on the 12th still haven’t arrived. I’ve been out of my Advair 500/50 (hint: the strongest they make) since Friday morning’s dose. It’s fun finding out the hard way which of my medications are the most important. If I skip or am too late on a dose of my theophylline, I get massive headaches. If I skip or miss a dose of Accolate, it’s not really noticeable, except it’s the pain-in-the-ass one with food limitations. But missing this Advair is extremely noticeable. I’ve been pretty much sitting all weekend, no physical exertion, and depending a lot on my Albuterol inhaler. All the VA pharmacist can tell me is it’s in the mail or I can drive into Phoenix to pick up another. Thanx, I’ll wait a couple more days.
So Ginnie decides to do her nails last night. Like I haven’t had this conversation with her before. Yes, I’m especially sensitive to nail polish remover, she must do this outside. “I only opened the bottle once, Mom, geeze. I can’t believe you can smell that!” complete with eye rolling. So how did I know IN MY ROOM with the DOOR CLOSED, that she’d even opened the bottle in her room with the door closed? Hmmm. I must be psychic, too.
Or maybe it gets into the ventilation?
