My Hell Week Has Come To A Close

Folks who regularly stop by know the issues I had early in the week.  Well, what I left out was that last week between Tues. and Thurs., my iron infusion days, my son thought he fractured his foot again, so we had to get that xrayed.

Monday, he had a follow up appointment with an orthopaedic specialist who said he has extra bone in both feet and because he has no arch (like his flat footed mama) it causes him pain, so I have to have some special inserts made for him.

Tuesday was cool. Wednesday I had to go get my eyes checked because it's been some years since I had that done and I'm waiting for my new reading glasses to come in...

Thursday, I felt AWFUL and made an appointment with the nurse practitioner and ended up leaving the office after getting a prednisone shot, a breathing treatment and a script for 2 new inhalers and an antibiotic for bronchitis.

Well, when I was in line to get the scripts filled, I started tingling.  Face, hands, tongue and lips, so I called my doctor who happened to be on call and she told me to get to the ER. Well, now you know Mama kicked in first.  I went home to get the kids some clothes in case I had to stay overnight and whoever took them didn't have to run them home.  Then I had to feed em and then I had to pay my rent so I wouldn't have a late fee (since I'd procrastinated long enough).  I rolled into the ER about an hour later.

Everyone and their mama and their mama's mama were there, but since it was a possible reaction, I was a priority.  Turned out to be just a slight reaction, but I had several vials of blood taken for testing and my calcium was way low and I had about a 30 minute breathing treatment.  I was released. Got my prescriptions filled and I got home around 1 am.

Friday I was up pretty early (before the alarm) and got to work on time. Had a pretty damn good day, but I had to catch up on my work because I hadn't done ish all week.

I left work 30 minutes after quittin time (I'm usually there about an hour after the official time) and headed to my dad's.  He recently got rid of Comcast and got ATT and I needed to set up his Outlook email and download some things.

My youngest was at his best friends and my oldest was helping my brother move.  I picked up the youngest and the oldest finished and we went to get something to eat.  I noticed on the way that my oldest was having trouble breathing, so I asked him about it.  He confirmed it.  Now me and the youngest have asthma, but not the oldest, so off to the ER we went. 

What I saw in the waiting room was so crazy, I had to take a picture because if I told you, you wouldn't believe it.

Just chillin under a chair.  I had told my kids the Gigi has folks all over Multiply calling me Butter or some variation of it and I had to send a picture to Harmony and Rob because it was too funny.

My son ended up not having an asthma attack, but was diagnosed with acute bronchitis and sinusitus, so he got sent home with the same antibiotic I'd gotten the night before and some acetomeniphine (sp) with codeine (he's sleepin reeeeeal good).

Guess what? We got home almost the exact same time as the night before, so I slept gooood today.

I laid out what I have to take every day right now and I have no shame is saying how ri-damn-diculous it is.
