Manic Monday

Dialysis Monday, then over to the clinic. I've applied for Paratransit, which is a public transportation service for the disabled. I can use it to get to dialysis at Mt. Zion, then the UCSF shuttle to Parnassus clinic, and then paratransit home. That will save me a lot (if it doesn't get shut down by budget cuts).
Both my platelets and my hematocrits were low so I had to get a transfusion of both. Red blood takes about two hours per bag and I always get two so it takes a while.
Now I'm just having trouble getting my oxycontin refilled. Since it's a narcotic, there are extra rules and I'm about out. Also the pharmacy keeps messing up - they tell me they have it and, when I get there, they don't have enough. I hope I get it fixed today. Another appointment at the Parnassus clinic this morning so I should be able to straighten everything out.
