Never heard back from my doctor yesterday so I headed up the ER around 6:30pm. I waited two hours in the waiting room with a mask on (mandatory for all waiting as a precaution because we do have cases of H1N1 in the area) before being seen. Of course, I was told there was nothing they could do but they DID give me drugs and the name of another doctor to call on Monday who might be able to get me in on Tuesday (the doctor himself isn't in on Mondays so I'm supposed to just call his office). I will say that everyone at the ER from person taking my info, right up to the doctor were very nice and sympathetic which was at least better than being treated like I was wasting their time. And I got Vicodan...which leads me to the question: How the hell does House pop those babies like candy and still remain standing? I got a 5 mg dose (with 500 mg of acetaminophen) and a half hour later, it knocked me on my ass (thankfully, not literally, cause that would have hurt). I then slept for 10 hours! And I only took one and my script says I can take one or two every six hours. Ummm...think I'll stick to one at bedtime, thank you very much.
Also, I'm babysitting today. No way around that one. Megan has to work and my husband had conference for EMS (Emergency Medical Services) to attend today. She's napping right now and I think it will be easier for me to take her shopping than hang around the house. At least then she's in a carriage and I'll be combining the sitting with the standing and what the hell, it's not like I don't hurt one way or the other, anyway. Maybe shopping will make me feel better.
