well He didnt get to come home. the doctors still wanted to run tests and they didnt get completed by the end of the day so the doctor wants to keep Him at least until tomorrow... My Mother got a perscription for My Father's puffer medication and was told that there would not be a charge since He is in a VA hospitaln and all We needed was His VA medical card. My Mother has difficulty walking due to something wrong with Her feet, so I take the script in along with My Father's VA Medical card, His Drivers Liscence and My own liscence.
get this.... His medical card could not be accepted as His insurance and that the medication would have to be purchased. All I could think about was the fact that the nurse told Us that she wanted the puffer back at the hospital by 10am so that it can be checked to make sure it could work for Him at home instead of His nebulizer.... I had the money... He needed the medication.... end of story. so I paid the cash to the sum of
$156.85.... both My Mother and Father were pissed... not so much the fact that I paid it, but the fact that We were told that there wouldnt be a charge for it. My Parents are on SSD and cant afford to pay that kind of money. come to find out that once the medication passes to the other side of the counter, it cant be returned for the cash paid. My Mother and Sister both have said that My Father would make sure that I get the money back.... thats not what Im worried about. I had it extra, I still have money for while Im up here... what Im worried about is when They go to refill the script, will They be able to fill it at the VA hospital when They need to... thats what worries Me....so yeah.... a great day today............... *rMe*
but on a good note, I did get some things to take back down to the lower 48 for My kids and My other half, got to see My Aunt that I havent seen in probably 20 years or better and a few other things. tomorrow We go back to the hospital, go through the security check at the gate *groans*, take My Father's medication to Him and the nurse, take My Mother on an errand, and try to get My Father back home, all before I have to get back to the airport by 2:45pm....... can I PLEASE pull My hair out now?
