Patience

I need to pray for patience. I have a problem with it. In little situations, like traffic, and in bigger situations also. The bigger situations have a lot to do with wanting to control my life instead of letting God do it. But how do you know when it's just you wnting to do something and when you know because it's God telling you that's the right time? Just because someone else doesn't agree doesn't mean they know God's plan.

But anyway that was actually a reaction to my stupid doctor's office. I had finally found this NP that I loved and apparently now she moved. My prescription for Axert is for 12 pills and my insurance only allows me 9 a month. So this month I ran out a week and a half to go and I still have 3 more days before I can refill. I got on the website and it says I have to have a Prior Authorization to receive more than 9. And I can get that if someone from the doctor's office will call and tell them that I am a migraine sufferer, on preventative which is working, and that NSAID's and other painkillers don't work (when I looked it up, I got OTC stuff, which obviously wasn't working). So it seemed pretty straight forward, and they even said that patients can be approved for up to 18 pills a month. So anyway the lady who is handling this at the doctor's office is having trouble. She called me last night and today to ask what the problem was. I already get 9 so why do I need more. Lady, the Nurse you work for wrote my prescription for 12. I'm out and I need more, so 9 is not going to cut it. So she said she'd call back and see, but she didn't know if they would do it or not. Well not if you talk to them like that. So she just called back to say they're "investigating" and they'll let her know something in 3-5 days. Seriously? For 3 more pills? I'm going to have to refill my prescription before then. I hate doctors and I hate my head for hurting and making me have to go see one.
