my turn...and HOW!! (grab your coffee - it's a long one.)

So, lots has gone on I guess in the last week. Jackson is FINALLY better - diaper rash is gone (HALLELUJAH!!) and life was seemingly back to normal. UNTIL

Friday afternoon, I woke up and my eye was itchy - no biggie, until friday night my eye hurt so badly that I had a headache. huh.

Saturday I woke up and my eye was worse - pink eye?? I wasn't really sure b/c I have never had pink eye before.

Sunday AM - Swollen shut. Sheesh! Went to church anyway...by Sunday night, both eyes were infected. NOT FUN. Throat feels faintly scratchy, started to feel a little pressure in my ears. (Ignore and it will go away)

Monday - It did not go away. It knocked me out!! I laid on the couch all day monday ...ALL DAY...except to change jackson's diaper. He was a great little boy and even looked at one of his little books for fun for 15 minutes. However, he decided this day that he would only take a half hour nap - ONCE - SAD>

Tuesday - I decided that it was necessary to go to the dr. So i made an appointment.Nate's mom picked up jackson for the day so i could go to the Dr. and then GO HOME AND SLEEP
Verdict - Double pink eye, throat infection, Double ear infection, swollen lymphnodes and a partridge in a pear tree!!

ENTER WORST PART OF MY DAY>>> Time line is KEY:

3pm - I went to Walmart to have my prescription filled. They said that it would be ready in 15-20 min. (right.)

3:25pm - I went to pick up meds - gave them my name, they asked for my prescription card, I gave it to them - He asked me to step to the side so he could help someone else while they entered a number off of my card. I went and sat down on the bench infront of their window.

3:35 - nothing

3:45 - nothing

3:55 - deep frustration settles in. The same man has been helping other people but has failed to acknowledge me enough to even say - "it'll just be a few more minutes"

4pm - I walk to the parmacist window and 3 workers walked by me and ignored me. the man from the counter i had been dealing with walked over and as me as if he had never seen me before if there was anything that he could help me with. YA THINK???? I asked if they were done with my card and he said "OH, is this your card? I am sure they're done with it by now." he handed it to me and began to walk away.

4:10pm - "BUT what about my medicine???" "You haven't received your meds yet?" no moron! i am standing here bleary eyed for fun!!
"Well, let's get that taken care of for you, shall we?"

4:15pm - He asked me for my last name, entered it into the computer and said "oh, your order is critical, it will be ready in a few moments" pardon?? a few moments it has been an hour and 15mins already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't you see that i am dizzy, tired and I am SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING RIGHT NOW!!!! ARGHGHHHHH!!! "alright" i said and sat back down.

at 4:35pm I STILL had to go back up to the counter and ask for my meds. They never told me they were ready, they never cared to apologize for my inconvenience. I took my meds, walked out of the store livid. I got home, opened the bag and THEY WERE PREMADE BOTTLES OF MEDS FROM THE FACTORY!!! NOTHING THEY HAD TO MIX< NOTHING THEY HAD TO DO BUT PUT IT IN A BAG....I will NEVER get my prescription there again!!

So, here we are wednesday, antibiotics finally in my system, but still can't tell if anything is working yet. I feel the same as i did the first day. This too shall pass - hopefully quickly!!
Bright side - being on the couch so much i have learned that The cosby show's on more than you would think! :)

Hope you and yours are doing well.
bye bye
