dobiemom Posted September 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2021 @dchip had a picture on your other thread. I searched for “mask ear strap” on Amazon and they had lots (of course). Here are three different types. Hope you find something that works for you. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a chuckle out of the "easy to use billing for one of them. I have yet to find one that is as "easy to use" as it is advertised to be.

My usual 3 month appointment with my PCP resulted in a screw up by my doctor He sent prescriptions for my usual medicines to CVS when I reminded him that they needed to go to Express-Scripts. When I realized what he had done, I called his office and more prescriptions were sent to Express-Scripts which then caused issues when they tried to fulfill them. Just this afternoon, I get a phone call from CVS that another already filled prescription that I already have from them is ready to be picked up! I called and, thankfully, the pharmacy tech at my CVS was able to solve the problem and cancelled all of the other prescriptions that were going to be re-filled at some point in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcummin Posted September 20, 2021 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I remember removing a stitch on a family camping trip years ago with sterilized nail clippers, scissors, & paring knife. Dear Daughter survived. Barbara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superoma Posted September 21, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Jim, I made mask straps for my son in law for work. If you email me at 1superoma at gmail dot com With your address I will gladly send you two or three. They are about 6 inches long and made of a soft fleece material. I have them with black buttons too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
