What a great day.....

Today was just perfect.... Not only was it sunny & bright, there was a nice breeze which made for a nice relaxing day in the sun. The big item for the day was the arrival of a 90 day supply of my prescriptions.... On the surface it doesn't sound too monumental but it has been like pulling teeth for two months to get enough medications to cover me until next May. I needed 9 months worth and every time they would agree to it they wouldn't deliver. When they did deliver they always came up short....need 270 days worth, here's 90... we'll sent you 180, I'd receive 90 and on it went.... There were conference calls that lasted over an hour, countless calls to member services and major intervention by my doctor's Medical Assistant Katie. Without a doubt she deserves employee of the decade. She went way beyond my expectations and certainly beyond today's general practice in working this issue. Without her diligent efforts I would be leaving on my voyage without my medications. I called my doctor's office (C.L.Harris) this afternoon to pass on my heartfelt that's to Katie. I hope (and I know he does) Dr. Harris recognizes what a jewel she is...... At this moment, I am less than enamored with Medco, the prescription drug supplier I have at this time. Up to this point they have been pretty good...what happened? Slow rolling the meds because of the ecomomy? I don't know. I just hope they get back on track like I know they can. Well, now I am ready! I'll just sit back and relax until my ride comes at 0645 Friday morning to take me to the airport. I am looking forward to this voyage not only because of the itinerary but because old friends will be joining me along the way.....
