I really appreciate my dad getting a couple in our church to clean my apartment, but I had no idea they were dumb enough to throw clearly marked medication of vials that cost $400 (insurance wouldn’t cover it). Clear as day, my name, the pharmacy name, all of that in the side of the fridge door. I took all my regular medication with me, but I never thought to take my refrigerated medication with it.
It makes me feel sick. My dad says in the long run, it’s no big deal, and that he’s not going to say anything about it to them. I won’t say anything unless they broach my apartment as a subject when I run into them at church.
It’s disheartening.

I would never throw anyone's medicine out without checking with them. I am the type that would demand they replace it.

It seems like something always happens when your family enters your house or sends others in there. That’s so disappointing. How are you going to replace the medication?

I’m not. I’m just going to skip the month, and hope nothing bad happens because of it.
I really appreciate all these attempts to help me, but that’s enough of that. The first time they didn’t even have my permission. But third time is the charm, and this third time has brought me to say I appreciate it, but no more.

I think you are going to have to tell your Dad, no more cleaning, etc. if anyone decides to throw anything away, it needs to be YOU. This just hurts my heart.

That is very disappointing that people would choose to throw out medications when they are only there to clean.
Cleaning would include just that, and perhaps moving things, but keeping them from the garbage as the choice to put it there lies on the owner.

I am just so sorry this happened. It takes the joy out of the work they did. I hurt for you.

I don't think you should just let it go.

Wow, that’s amazing…not in a good way. I can’t believe your dad thinks $400 is “no big deal.”

Oh, Amber!! That is just devastating! I know how hard it is, to come up with the copay on a limited budget--often, impossible. And $400 is a lot of money!! I am so sad for you.
