Still waiting for letter from Dr. Tricot

Today was a very easy drive to the BMT clinic and I actually arrived before my (not scheduled for some reason) appointment. The nurses knew I was supposed to be there but the two people at the registration desks did not know that I was coming in and as a result I waited nearly half an hour to be taken in for vitals and a blood letting. Malene was my nurse today and she told me that they had my Velcade from the pharmacy and would give it to me as soon as the report on my blood came from the lab. It is strange to me that they wait because they never seem to change the dossage based on that day's blood work and every other week they don't draw blood at all but they wait for something anyway. I had 2 prescriptions to be filled at the pharmacy and Malene had called them to make sure that they filled them promptly and correctly, but when I got there only one had been filled. The filled one was for prednisolone, which comes in 4 mg tablets and I am supposed to take 4 tablets every other day, but the last prescription was filled for only 15 tablets. I had pointed this out to Malene, which is why she had called the pharmacy, and she wants to know if they do, or did, it right this time. I think it is correct but I am not inclined to count the pills.
