Yesterday evening Daughter informed me I needed to give her some test strips for the old meter, as she only had enough test strips to last today. I informed her that they should be able to order them from the pharmacy. She said Staff told her that the pharmacy wouldn't deliver strips anymore.
To say I was unhappy would be an understatement. I sent out one of my emails today to Home Owner, Case Manager and Nurse. I pointed out that Daughter should always have at least 3 extra strips to cover low blood sugars and that relying on me to come up with strips at the last minute was not a good plan. I said I was getting tired of the monthly strip crisis.
I picked up Daughter this morning for her volunteer day at the church. I explained to her that I'd spent hours trying to straighten things out last month, and I was frustrated that they were not planning ahead and figuring things out before the crisis. She said, "They're just like the government." I thought that was good insight on the current shutdown.....
