Prescription Notification

[kevin_standlee]

Given some of what I've heard about difficulty getting it, I was worried that there would be a delay in getting my Ozempic prescription filled. However, CVS/Caremark notified me that they've shipped it, so it should be here by early next week. That means I will only miss one week due to my having mis-counted the number of doses in the pens and not noticed that auto-refills were not turned on. I'll be more attentive in the future.

I was worried that my weight would start heading back up after missing a dose, especially inasmuch as I have my appetite back for now. However, my weight is currently steady at 235 pounds / 107 kg, which is the lowest it has been for more than twenty years. It seems plausible that I might actually lose this pot belly that I've been carrying around for so long.

Even if I lose that weight, I don't anticipate doing Blankety Blank SF this year. There's a whole lot of other things that will have to happen besides me being able to fit into the costume again. Maybe next year, if we're lucky.

has your runny nose abated at all being off the meds?

A little bit, yes, but it was offset by the sinus infection (mostly abated now, I think; two more days of antibiotics left to complete the program) generating a different drainage. The cold before that, which set off the other infection, I think, had done what all of my colds do: go down into my chest and turn into chronic bronchitis. Is it any wonder that I stay masked most of the time? It was five years since my previous bout of this.
