I used to go through an excruciating game of telephoning the doctor's office, then the pharmacy, back to the doc again. I finally realized it was easier to make an appointment (just me, not mom) and have her fax the script while I was there. I guess she gets paid more that way.

Whine of the day... well, really about a year now.

My mother's doctor is driving me crazy. We have an electronic dashboard for requesting prescriptions. Sometimes she writes the prescription. Sometimes I have to call. Lately she has gotten so where she writes the wrong number or gives no refills, so I have to go through it again really soon. These are blood pressure medications and not narcotics. Good grief. I think her doctor has gone off the loony edge. It's like a wrestling match to try to manage the medications.

A bad or incompetent doctor is not a caregiver's friend. We have an appointment with a new doctor next month. I hope she'll be good so we can get rid of this person who doesn't need to have a license to practice.

I have an elderly family member in the hospital, but cannot post out of respect for her and family's privacy. Limited to taking a few casseroles essentially. If it were not for this forum's members I would not have known what to do. I am not as worried, but just not feeling myself.

The SSI burial benefit will go to his children if he is not legally married to their mother. That benefit is a payout to a spouse or dependent children if no spouse only.

I hope that this new thread will take off. Sometimes threads disappear for a while and then come back. If the old whine thread comes back that would be great, but if not I hope everyone feels free to post on this one.
