Different Pharmacy...

@DaddyEvil Often tiny places are better than those large pharmacy. I have always used a small pharmacy, they delivered.

@LadyDuck I'm not happy with the small pharmacy, either, right now... I went to the doctor yesterday because I'm in pain. They got the prescription from my doctor visit yesterday but still haven't delivered the pain meds or the eye meds after confirming they were covered by my insurance.

Thank you. I'm glad Pretty checked with the other pharmacy... I hadn't even considered them before. They're just a tiny place that mom used way back before Walmart ever came to our city.

I understand... However, I'm 61 and have several disabilities. I take 13 prescriptions every day. Some of them are for my heart. I NEED those.

@Shivram59 That's nice! Both my parents needed meds by the time they were my age, too. Most of my siblings were taking heart meds by the time they were my age.

@DaddyEvil I understand. You need those meds. My father is 75 and mother 72. Fortunately they both have no problems.

@DaddyEvil Walmart is two miles away from you and they won’t deliver a medication for your heart…that’s morally criminal. Makes me angry.

Walmart is only two miles away from us but even calling Home Office didn't help. They said each Walmart chooses if they want to deliver groceries and meds and this one doesn't want to. Thanks. I'm glad! One of the meds I've been out of is for my heart!

@AmbiePam It's a business decision... I don't bring them enough profit for me to be economically viable on their bottom line. I think that's how the person at Corporate Headquarters said it, at least. Don't quote me, please.

Since some of mine are refrigerated, they won't mail them. Thank you!

@DaddyEvil ......So you have to get those locally?

@celticeagle Yes, one pharmacy will bring them to us but the other pharmacy want us to go to them to get them. They get them from a refrigerated truck that comes once a month to their two stores.

@DaddIMHO. That's great news, DE.

Thanks... And you're right, but I still can't see, either. I'll tell her you said so. I've taken them and can feel the difference.

Thanks. I take 13 different meds every day.

@RasmaSandra Thanks... When I lost my job, I really worried about how I was going to keep paying for the meds I need. Thankfully, the same year I lost my job, voters in our state voted Medicaid in for those who didn't have income. (Then the state Governor said he wasn't funding it and publicly said "Let's see what the poor do when there's no money to pay for their medical bills and meds." And got sued and a Federal judge ordered him to "find" the money to pay for Medicaid in our state.) If things get that bad for you, PLEASE tell me. We'll make room for you and any furry roommates you have to live with us...

@DaddyEvil sorry to hear you have to take so much were that me I would be homeless and on the street with no medication

I think so. Thanks.

That's nice. I'm happy for you.

We don't have any of that here. The town is too small to support them. We COULD call one of them in Springfield but they won't deliver more than 50 miles away...

Bummer

I agree... They're a family owned place that has been here since I was a little boy, at least. I know my mom used them long before Walmart was ever built here. I just never thought about them.

Thank you. We were both really happy about it! We were getting worried since one of the meds I'd run out of was a heart medication.

Yes, it is. One of the meds I have been out of was a heart medication.

Thanks. When my eyes swell shut, I can't drive so can't go get our meds. I'm glad Pretty decided to call the other pharmacy and ask if they'd deliver.

That is definitely the way it seems. Thank you.

Walmart is still the only grocery store around here so we buy from them anyway. It was just easier to pick up our meds when we went shopping. When I can't see, we can't get meds or groceries.

Thanks! One of the meds I was out of was a heart pill... I was worried about missing it. I agree, at least this place doesn't mind delivering even if they don't get extra money for it.

I think so, too. Thanks.

The first pharmacy (Walmart) was two miles away and you have to walk on the highway to get there if you can't drive. The second pharmacy is downtown but still two miles away but you can walk on sidewalks to get there if you can't drive. I don't want to walk the two miles there and back again if I can't see.

@DaddyEvil I'm with you completely. Not being able to see well is not good at all.

Me, too! I was getting worried about getting my meds, especially the heart meds I was out of.

@LindaOHio Yes, because I couldn't see to drive and go get them.

@DaddyEvil Why didn't you have them for 2 weeks. That shouldn't happen. Was it because you couldn't drive?
