I'm frustrated. I want to get a repeat prescription. Normally I order online then collect the prescription from the surgery, then go to the pharmacy. Because of the difficulty in sourcing hrt patches, I haven't opted to have my prescription sent to a nominated pharmacy before. But now I will have to as you can't go into the surgery without an appointment. However, you need authorisation from the surgery, but I can't get through on the telephone and email replies are automated without advice other than to go into the surgery with identification.
I'm already thinking I will not be able to carry on with HRT patches as I can't go here and there to source them. The online company I approached can't get them and the surgery wont give me a generic prescription.
We can't get any shopping delivery or click and collect slots, so DH will have to venture out. I dare not as I have asthma. They say our county is as bad as London for virus cases.
Good news is that my glasses have arrived at the opticians. They aren't open, but will be there today, but not tomorrow. So DH will collect them . Of course they won't be able to ensure they fit. But better than nothing.
All these problems we don't normally have. Time consuming and stressful.
Just spoken to my son, a paramedic in Maine, USA. He was on his way to work. He often rings on the hour long long drive. Things are ramping up over there. More serious calls. They have to gear up before going out, which he hates. They never know if patients have covid 19 until later of course. They are lucky to have my son.
