Oh man, Dude!

Them Delta blues

Can be so rude

Ain't no skews

Paid your fare

All your shit

Should be there

Yet you sit

Their mistake

Though you pay

For fuck's sake!

What a day

We have flown Delta often and have never had a problem. Sorry this happened to you. Losing meds is never fun.

You’ve heard it enough so I won’t repeat that you always carry your meds with you. But, I have to admit you have some clever coping skills ready when you’re in need….writing a poem? Excellent! I’m going to add that to my list of coping skills for the future. It won’t be as good as yours, but, heck, you’re an artist, I am not. The goal however is to get to the other side of the kerfuffle without ending up in jail or melting down. Again, Corey, you have taught me something that will be useful. Thanks, kid. Be safe. Take care.

My husband just got back from a trip. Got re-routed to San Antonio due to weather issues and to take a bus to Bush/Houston because no flights were available. Got home at 5am. Air travel sucks. Good luck to you!

Never check medication my friend. Keep that and passports with you at all times. Learned that the hard way.

I refuse to fly Delta. They have left me and my baggage stranded many times and not always in the same place.

And this was probably a direct flight? Ugh, I hope your luggage shows up soon.

Flying is a bitch these days. Hope you are able to get your meds soon. I bought my husband a man purse for travel.

I swear I’m so paranoid about pills I separate them 3 ways. I leave some at home take a little more than necessary in case I get stuck somewhere. Then I divide what I have into my purse/backpack, carry on and checked luggage. The smallest amount going in my checked luggage. Don’t check your pills anymore!
