Why I Have Been E & T
by Vixmom
On Friday night I took the Vixter and two fo her friends to the high school play (The Wiz) and from thence to Friendly's for icecream and by time we got home (after 11:30 ) I was exhausted and went right to bed.
All of Saturday and Sunday the Vixter had control of the PC because of a major project she has due this Wednesday.
This morning she and I both woke up feeling absolutely terrible. I ended up calling us both in sick and making appointments with both of our doctors. She had a 10:30 appointment in a town 20 minutes south west of my home so off we went at 10 to be sure... then of course sat around the waiting room until 11:30 to be seen. After diagnosing The Vixter with a sinus infection and ear infection and prescribing meds, the GP noticed a mole on the Vixter's neck she didn't like the looks of .
She got on the phone with a dermatologist and arranged a 2:30 appointment in his office. So we drove the 20 minutes northeast to home to drop off the prescription at the local pharmacy and then a quick lunch of tomato soup and tuna sandwiches and then off twenty minutes south east to the dermatolgist. We were there by 2:20 and after writing out our entire life histories and giving every possible bit of personal data about everyone I have ever met on the seven thousand page medical release form I was handed on arrival, we were politely ushered in promptly at 3:27. Where it took the doctor approximately 2 minutes to announce that the growth was absolutely normal and benign. GOOD NEWS there!
We then traveled back twenty minutes northwest to our pharmacy.. picked up The Vixter's medication and some over-the-counter stuff we needed and stopped home to give her her meds prior to my 4:30 appointment at my doctor, twenty minutes northeast of our home. The meds were not there. The bag was, the pharmacy notes were, the over-the-counter stuff was, but the meds themselves
...not there.
So I call to complain and say I would be back in an hour and expect the meds to be there but since it was now 4:15... I was off to my doctor, where I was seen after only 5 minutes (thank goodness) and told I had exactly the same dread diseases as the daughter, was chided for letting my thyroid meds lapse and given prescriptions to fill.
Back to the pharmacy and drop off the two scripts and pickup the missing Vixter med.
Home for the briefest of moments then back to the pharmacy I go to get my stuff. What a relaxing sick day eh?
