Here's My Story

Back in the spring, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure.  Seems like a fairly easy fix, unless the 2 most common blood pressure medicines make you cough. All the time. Uncontrollably. For no reason. At any moment. Like when you're on the air.

It's been a horrific challenge finding the right medicine. Seriously, It was 3 months of coughing off and on all day. It felt like someone was poking the back of my throat with a three pronged tooth pick.  Sometimes the pokey feeling was so intense it would make my eyes water. Not to mention constantly explaining that I really wasn't sick, it was my new medicine. Nobody believes that, by the way.

Happily, last month, my doctor found the high blood pressure medicine that I could take that doesn't make me constantly cough. I get a cough or 2 during the day, but it's so much better.

So, I go to get my refill on the medicine I know will work. I ran to Albertson's while I was working, got a couple other things when I was there, then left the bag in my car.

After I Unpacked Everything, I Noticed My Prescription Was Missing

And in the big scheme of things, it was the only thing I bought that actually mattered and I couldn't find it anywhere.

A Wonderful Person Turned It Back In To The Pharmacy

I was so worried that I'd have to wait a month to get the good medicine, so I'd have to go back on the cough maker meds.  But, instead, someone in Great Falls did such a nice, decent thing. They took the time to walk my prescription back to the pharmacy.
