CVS Pharmacy Vent



Recommended Posts

I just ha my BP checked at cvs so I could get a $5 off coupon. If normal is 120/80 then 117/83 is pretty decent. I'm normally at 117/74 I've never had a BP problem. The pharmacist feels the need to basically tell me the bottom number is too high be Use I'm too fat....she should thank her lucky stars that I know Jesus because I really wanted to reach across that table and slap the piss out of her!

This is why I prefer to only let my DOCTORS talk to me about my health. But in the bright side my items came up to $.29 ????????

OOHH girl you are so much better than me because I would have slapped her azz so hard she would have needed a passport and a plane ticket to get back home!!!

I had to try very hard not to go off! And I did say to her, as she was being rude, that my bottom number isn't usually that high. She kind of got pissed and slammed the bag and coupon down in the table. I just took my stuff and got my son and got out of there as fast as I could to avoid going to jail for assault! Lol

@laurenella82 I just noticed that you're in Washington DC. I live in Silver Spring, MD. When and where is your surgery?

That doesn't even make any sense a diastolic pressure of 83 isn't even "bad". She is obviously a moron, stay away from morons they will make your pressure high @@laurenella82

I am a REALLY nice person, but I can also be your worst nightmare. I would have shoved my size 7 so far up that Pharmacists ass she would have needed a proctologist to find it.

@bonbyswife I'm kind if proud of myself for exercising restraint? Before my son it would have been MUCH different!

120/80 is really quite fine, but they're now considering it "high" normal and "pre-" hypertension. But that's not a reading any of my nursing colleagues or the doctors we work with would bat an eye at.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
