I too am glad you seem to have arrived at a satisfactory outcome, but this whole incident should never have happened in the first place. It seems that "trust, but verify" seems to be the case when dealing with any pharmacy to avoid problems. We'd ...

We started a new Pennsylvania specific group (http://tudiabetes.com/group/pennsylvaniadiabetics)
And- I was thinking that eventually we should have a philly meet up for all us at TuD.
Maybe Bowling for Blood Sugars? Get together, socialize, test, and try to see who can most closely match blood sugar value with bowling score. Winner gets... something to be determined.
Happy Wednesday, guys- I hope your sugars behave today.

Where the he** have you been? Robyn and Gerri and I have been wondering if you dropped off the face of the earth. Someone told me you were dedicating your time to Facebook or something simiilar. We missed you!
I am now back in rehab and not sure what is going to happen and when. Only about 5% of my left foot skin graft took and I am not sure if we are going to repeat it. I have to see the wound DR and the surgeon in about 1 week. Maybe the plastic surgeon would want to do it. The wound DR says to give Mother Nature a chance!
I'm totally bummed out today. I went home for a few hours to check the apartment and visit with my fishies. SURPRISE!!!! My so-called friend was NOT taking care of the fish and the tanks were all scuzzy, green, smelly. All had lost quite a bit of water due to evaporation and one was in only 1 inch of water!!! I could absolutely kill her!!!
Well, I better get along little doggie. It's time to communicate with the others.
