I am unfortunately waiting for the pharmacy to issue me an early refill on one of my very necessary meds. The pharmacist says he hasn't decided to fill it, for whatever reason, even though he has the medicine, doctors order and the insurance waiver. I am really at a loss as to how someone could be so callous.

I really really hope you get those medications to need. The new system they've set up at Duke probably has no SOLID idea what to do in a catastrophe.

My niece comes home today from Durham. It's a relief to know family is coming together to be safe and sound.

I think it's safe to say no one is not a little confused about all of this. We do have some of the brightest minds on earth here in NC, working on this issue. That I find very reassuring.

Thanks for being a friend Sugar Smack.
