But they aren't the ones who control the processes or the finances. I just wish someone in control would take 2 days to walk around with a female vet who is homeless or in danger of being homeless to see how it really works behind the scenes. Those are the peeps I'm reaching out to. I continue to pray for blessings and solutions, too.

I had no idea about CVS, and that's totally ridiculous!!!!! What in the world is going on? I will check our CVS here. You're right. At this point, actions speak so much louder than words.

I know your clients must love you! So much red tape, and wasted time for these women, and it's a nightmare! You're right, some are too shy or embarrassed, and don't seek help. I'm sending cyber hugs your way and many thanks!

Did you know that CVS has dropped Tricare? It's maddening especially since CVS is typically one of the few options available in small towns.This seems to be such an ignored issue and one I hope receives not just more attention but more ACTION in the future.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048008773247914458.post-2114435886387957552016-12-22T04:54:18.922-05:002016-12-22T04:54:18.922-05:00Yes, the runaround is awful and you nailed it- tha...Yes, the runaround is awful and you nailed it- that person only has so many minutes on a pre-paid, so many minutes on a library computer, and they can't reach anyone. I am honored when through my job I can take their information, sit at my computer or on my office phone and get through all that with them- but I have to know about them and these folks are the quiet ones. My heart aches.

As women, we all have stories to tell to help each other get through the pain, and come out on the good side.

When I read stories like this it reminds me that my little problems are nothing compared to theirs.
