That's us too Neil. We went out for our drugs yesterday. Went in to get them and get right back out.

Don, I saw my foot doc yesterday and I had the first appointment of the day. The office that I have been going to is not near a hospital which makes it really nice. Also, other than the staff I was the only patient at the office.

That is us too. I use the drive up window at the pharmacy. We have been using the Instant cart people for doing our grocery shopping. All I have to do is pull up in front of the store, let them know I am there and they bring the groceries out along with loading them into the truck.

I would have gone in an office, but mine is in the lower floor of the hospital

My wife's allergist and our primary doctor are at the hospital. The allergist cancelled here appointment last week and said it would be at least two weeks before they would be giving the shots. Both of us are staying out of the doctors office as much as we can. I had to go in 2 months ago just so they could verify that I was breathing in order to get a refill on a medication that I have been on for the last four years. That pissed me off especially with the flu that was going around.

We tried that last Saturday to see how well it worked. they didn't screw up our order.

We have been going to a mom&pop grocery that takes seniors on certain days and hours. That has worked out also.

Yeah it sounds stupid to do that..

Now they have teleconferencing so you don't have to see a doctor in person...LOL

Well it was my six month follow up that should have happened in November but my doc was not in the office. Also it would have been a few weeks after I got out of the hospital with my right foot.
