Oh, It just figures!!!! (RANT)

I'm sitting here in my husband's office right now. Why, you ask?? Well, yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat. Since sore throats usually herald the beginning of a cold, I basically lived on tea all day, and waited patiently for this cold.
This morning, after a painful night, I woke up with a fever, painful glands and my throat hurting enough to cause tears. I came into the base and got checked out. Doc prescribed an antibiotic, motrin and cepacol. I went to the pharmacy to activate, and they have no record of my meds being put in. Come on people, I just want to go HOME!!!!
Then I finally get it activated. I was told that the meds would be ready in about 15-20 minutes. So I went to have lunch with hubby in the hospital caf, then I was going to pick up my meds and go home.
Well, someONE spilled a hazardous chemical in the pharmacy, so now the pharmacy is CLOSED!! And hubby can't pick up my meds for me. So I"M STUCK LIKE CHUCK!!! And MY THROAT HURTS!!!!! I wannna go HOME !!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm NOT leaving without my medicine!!!!

Oh gosh I'm so sorry. The worst illness I ever had in my life was when I was living in Pascagoula. I went to the Navy base 3 times within a three week period only to get sent home with some antibiotics, which I took. The next week (4th one), I finally had enough and went to Keesler AFB. They gave me a shot and more antibiotics and did the whole complete checkup. Turns out I had double pnuemonia and bronchitis!

I never went to another navy doctor again while my ex-h was still in the Navy!

I really hope you can get home to rest real soon. Take it easy when you do!

Thats the military for ya. I just got tired of the whole prescription process at Langley AFB. Lets see......go to the desk and take a number. Wait for number to be called JUST to let them know you are there Go sit down and wait some more for them to call your name for your prescription. heaven forbid you have a controlled substance. For those, you are guaranteed to be the LAST person out of there in the evening hours. Sometimes it would take over an hour just to let them know you were there. I found it easier for me to just get a paper precription and pay the $5 or $9 by going to a civilian pharmacy. Don't have that luxury anymore though. I am at the mercy of the military.

Ah man, I've had that killer sore throat for a week! I've never had such a sore throat in my whole life. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't strep so I didn't get any prescriptions. Luckily it's starting to get better now! Take lots of painkillers and gargle with warm salt water.

Well, after about two more hours, and waiting in line, I finally got ho,e and rested. Now my throat is starting to feel like a human throat again. Thanks you all for listening to my rant!!!

Sore throats are complete misery. Glad you are on the mend.
