We interrupt this regularly scheduled post...
To bring you Breaking News....... Dateline: Chez Cheeky
The crud has forced entry into the residence of Cheeky and her family and has taken the teenage daughter hostage. She has had a fever since Sunday afternoon. It broke for a while. She went to school (I told her to just stay home but she wanted to go - that is a sign of sickness right there - I should have picked up on it). I did end up picking her up late morning yesterday. She had fever, she hacked and coughed all day.
This morning she is literally crawling up the steps because she can't breathe (not ER can't breathe but not good either). Checked again, the fever is back at 102 (its been hovering there for a while - when the meds are in it drops but comes back as soon as the meds start to whimp out).
Anyway. Docs office opens at 8. We will be there waiting for them. I will update with more when we get back. Where is Osmosis Jones when you need him?
Obviously, this is not what today's post was going to be about - that has been postponed until a later date.
Update #1 Doc appt at 10:20 - we are on the cancellation list so if someone cancels we will be in earlier. Teenage Daughter tells me at the time she left yesterday (which was around 10:30) 80 people had already gone home sick - so yeah something is going around .....wanna take bets that I am gonna get it?
For those of you that are following the tale of the bloody heel.....I went to the doctor yesterday. I purposefully did not change the bandage before going (I had changed it earlier in the day) so that the doc could see what I was dealing with. So as the nurse was doing the work up, she suggested that I update my tetanus shot. I was unsure when I had my last one (I am sure it has been quite a while) and she said that with an open wound that it is a really really good idea to get one. I relented and let her do it. So she gave me the shot and a Hello Kitty band aid (yeah, I so thought of you Jenie). Doc comes in. Takes a look and says "looks like you have an open would there" ....duh! She continued to say, "looks like you have a hematoma (like a blood blister) in there. DUH again. So she proceeds to squeeze it hard to get some of the blood out (if it wasn't sore before, it was after). Then she says....well it will probably take another week or so to get better and though it is not infected lets give you some antibiotics just in case since it is an open wound.
Ummm how much did I pay for this visit? Ummm didn't I already know this much when I walked in your door? And you went to school for how long to tell me this??? So when all is said and done, I have a super sore arm now (from the tetanus), a regimen of horsepill antibiotics that I take 3 times a day for the next week or so, and a bloody heel. Niiiiiiiice.
Oh and for your reading enjoyment.. This. I love it when people have a sense of humor.
