I do not have to go to Davis Square tomorrow to see my doctor and get a refill on the Ritalin prescription. They called this morning and asked if I would like a phone consultation and then she would mail the prescriptions. I said "yes, please." I had been planning to call and confirm that appointment, just in case, but they called me first.
Normally, seeing Carmen in person would be better because I could also have followed up on my wrist pain and asked about the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. Right now, not having to take two buses to get there, plus time in the waiting room, is clearly better. It didn't occur to me to ask for a phone consult, because usually she wouldn't be allowed to prescribe a controlled substance this way. But these are not normal times.
I'm still going to keep a close eye on the remaining pills until I get the refill, but I have enough to get me to the weekend.
