Well, I called the pharmacy. Cordelia's prescription can't be filled until the 13th, per the insurance company, and costs $90 out of pocket, so I think Cordelia's going to be doing without for a couple of weeks.
My pain prescription has apparently vanished into the ether. The pharmacist I talked to said that they only accept prescriptions for Norco in two ways-- hard copy and email. If the nurse called or faxed the prescription in, they would have deleted the message without filling the prescription or notifying anyone that they weren't going to.
So I've called the hospital and asked for the on-call surgical oncology resident (as it says to do in my handbook). We'll see how long it takes him or her to get back to me. I hope I don't have to call again. I hope, too, that they're willing to help out. Asking for a controlled substance prescription twice in two days isn't generally looked well upon. Of course, the pharmacy can confirm that they did not fill the previous prescription and, indeed, have no record of it.
And the resident just called. She says she'll talk to the pharmacy and try to figure out what's going on. If Kroger won't fill the prescription, we'll try another pharmacy in the area. I think Kroger will fill it if we jump through just the right hoops, but I don't know how the resident will feel about hoop jumping.
And why on earth would the pharmacy accept email prescriptions? If they're worried about forgery or not being sure where the prescription really came from, email is really pretty easy to spoof. I don't know how to do it, but I expect I could find out without exerting myself much.
Scott slept too late today to deal with anything with the car dealership. That closes at 1:00 on Saturdays, and it was past noon by the time he finished showering. Unfortunately, the dealership is closed on Sundays. That means he's pretty much going to have to go over there some evening this week. Hopefully, he will manage to shower before going over there. They tend to ignore him if he comes straight from work.
