Lewies Blog

I ordered my medications through Aetna Home Delivery two weeks ago. You see, I can’t order them through my local pharmacy or I will be charged top dollar. Everyone is out to save a buck. Any how, I have been taking my medication every other day to stretch it out a bit. Unfortunately, I had my last one Sunday night.

I ran into work on Sunday thinking that I had two pills in my drawer only to find one. I called the insurance company today to find out what has happened with my order. They are usually much quicker about it.

I could get it to be automagically sent, but my doctor only prescribes 90 days and zero refills. So each time I order, I have to create a new order and fill out a bunch of paperwork. I guess it takes the insurance company longer since they are processing a new claim.

I am starting to go through withdrawal. I can only skip every other day for so long before my body complains. My head is beginning to throb. No, it’s not a head ache. Thankfully, my wife has the same prescription. Actually, her prescription is twice as much.

I’m not a pharmacist, but it doesn’t take a genius to pop those suckers open and divide the balls in half. I counted little groups of ten and added them to a pile. When the pile would reach 50, I placed the pile into a separate dish. I eventually came out with two groups of 195 and 196 balls.

I folded a sheet of paper in half and poured one container of balls into the crease. From there, I funneled the balls into the empty capsule and popped the end back on. I went downstairs to warn my wife that I may overdose since I was taking an extra ball. Yea, I’m corny like that. It’s a “Lewie” thing.

Hopefully the pills come in the mail tomorrow. The woman on the phone said that they were sent out through express mail on Friday. I guess the presidents day holiday slowed down the mail on Monday.
