Terrible travel day

Day 15 of cycle eleven started out badly. The rain started during the night and continued until it changed to snow sometime while I was in the clinic. It had a beneficial effect on travel on I-215 because the travelers slowed down and I no longer felt I was a road block travelling at just above the speed limit, but the traffic on Foothill boulevard was bumper to bumper all the way to 800 South and I didn't get into the registration desk at the clinic until almost 9:30 (for a 9:00 appointment). I had to wait until almost 10:00 to have my vitals taken because I had been so late and they were quite busy and when I finally got into the Infusion room all the chairs were occupied and I had to sit in an arm chair next to a bed. Malene greeeted me and told me that they had my Velcade and would give it to me without waiting for the lab results on my blood (only 4 vials drawn this morning), which they did and then I went to Pharmacy where I had a short wait because my prescriptions had been called to them by Andrea. When I got home and looked at the information sheets that come with the drugs I found that I had been supplied with only 40 Dexamethazone pills and I take 25 of them on days 1-4 and days 15-18 of each maintenance cycle. The last time the prescriptioon was filled I was given 120 pills so I will have to demand an accounting when I go back Thursday.
