We called the doctor's office and they are mailing her a bottle of Percocet. It makes no sense to me that a prescription couldn't be called in to our local pharmacy. I don't know if it's because they are located in Tennessee and we're in Kentucky? Anyway, hopefully when that arrives it will ease her pain. If not, now I know what to ask for. Thanks so much.
