That's what Derek was accusing every pharmacy in a 20 mile radius yesterday. As you all pretty much know, Derek is a diabetic. Yesterday my smart man accidentally lost his insulin pen "somewhere". We figured it out around 6 o'clock when we started to think about dinner and within minutes the entire house was flipped upside down. I started calling every pharmacy in the phone book trying to find one that carries the actual pen to inject the insulin...no luck! Finally at about 7:30 (at this point Derek is yelling at everyone and starting to really freak out) I called the emergency line at his Medical Center. They paged the on call doctor and by 8 o'clock he had called back and called in a prescription for a disposable pen. Everything was fine, but it still really got to Derek. It's funny because he has a prescription for the insulin cartridges which is the same exact stuff as the disposable pens but the pharmacy can only fill it in the cartridge form. I understand the legality of it, but wouldn't you if you were a pharmacist who saw this guy dependant on getting this medicine feel a little pity? Whatever, we got it all figured it, it's hard to see Derek so upset and scared at the same time.
On another note, I ate Mexican last night! I didn't overdo it though, and I had the points. I am definitely retaining water today though. My best friend is home from Nashville this week so I am going to hang out with him tonight. This is the first time I will have seen him since my engagement and I am planning to ask him to be part of my wedding. I am so excited!!
Well, I am off to get my work done. Just a few more things on my to do list and I can leave for the day!!! Yippee for a short Friday!!!!

Oh yum...Mexican!!! :)
I would feel sorry for him if I were a pharmacist and it's really sad he had to go through all that trouble. I'm glad he got it resolved though!!
Oh wow! I'm glad he was able to get what he needed. That is so scary!
Enjoy visiting with your friend!
OMG poor guy. I'm glad you were able to get it worked out in the end. I know what it's like to be dependant on medication and what happens when you lose it. It's the worst feeling and I'm sure it's even worse for Derek since his more severe.
Hope you have fun hanging out with your friend and Mexican food YUMMY! I love chips and salsa! Definitely triple your water intake to flush out the sodium :)
