My DD has had a headache and neck pain for three days. Today she wakes me up texting begging to come home from school and go to dr. She came home early yesterday too. So I call dr office and our regular dr is off today so I book her with another dr in the same practice. Call school so she can leave and I jump up and get dressed to meet her there. The dr half listened to us, never felt where her neck hurts. Prescribed her an antibiotic, I told him she can’t swallow pills so make it a liquid. He said he couldn’t see anything wrong with her but to try that first and if it didn’t work he would send her for X-ray and CT scan to decide if she is getting migraines.
Went straight to to work after we got out of dr office. Today is my first day back after vacation. I’m a self-employed hairdresser. I have posted on FB for over a month before my vacation the dates I would be gone. Told everyone I came in contact with that appts would be limited around thanksgiving and week after because of vacation.
I had had at least 25 hang ups on my answering machine from the same number. If they would’ve just listened to my out going message it said the date I would be back. But I had to listen to all the hang ups to get to actual messages.
I had had at least two customers get mad at me because I couldn’t get to them within fifteen minutes of the calling this morning for an appt. My mother pulled in the parking lot right behind me as I got to work needing a haircut. Not thinking I have been off for a week and would be busy. But hey let me cut your hair mom!🙄 Told mom I had been at dr with DD. My mom never even asked about why we were at dr or how DD was.
Most of the customers that came in or called today acted like I had been off work for months and they were gonna die if I didn’t get their hair done right then. Good grief people, I WAS ONLY OFF THREE WORK DAYS!!!!! THREE!!!
I didn’t have breakfast cause of leaving early to take DD to dr. Didn’t get lunch cause I was swamped at work.
Before I leave work DD texts saying she blacked out and fell in floor. My DH was home but not in the house, and said she she texted him first. So she texts me and I call him to go in and check on her.
Left work and went to pharmacy to get prescription. They hadn’t run it thru our insurance and had to redo it. Then I get home and realize they gave me huge pills that she can’t swallow.
Call a a trusted nurse friend and told her the situation and she recommended a trip to ER. DD and DH both thought that was unnecessary. Then neither of them wanted what I had planned to cook for supper. So we load up and go to Kroger to let DD pick anything she wants for supper and some ice cream to put the crushed pills in to eat. Nearly got hit by two different cars walking thru parking lot.
DH wanted cappuccino, so go to convience store to get that. Nearly get hit by another car that is driving the wrong direction thru parking lot. 🙄
I wanted fast food cause I was getting hangry by this point. So we swing thru drive thru and home. I’m sitting down to eat my first meal of the day at nearly 8pm. DH heating up canned ravioli. DD has a melt down cause she can’t cook only part of the package of orange chicken she got at Kroger. Somehow that turned into a screaming argument because I said cook it all and toss what you don’t eat. I’m allergic to oranges so I can’t cook or eat it. She cooked rice and threw it out. She also cooked steamed broccoli and left it on the counter. Refused to cook orange chicken and ended up making a bologna sandwich.
I lost it and made her cook chicken and eat the broccoli. She gets mad and screams that she wants to kill herself. I said well that makes two of us! I’m only one person and I can’t please everybody. Apparently I can’t please anyone today. I’m over this day. I’m done!
After I calmed down, I finished cooking her chicken and took her a plate of food to her room. I had an allergic reaction from touching the sauce. But she ate some. Still no meds in her but I’ll call dr tomorrow and have them call in liquid. Neither of us are gonna kill ourself. We will be fine. Just enough freaking stress for one day.
Sorry for writing a book. Just needed to get it off my chest.
