Me, missing in action
I know it is somewhat typical for me not to respond to things for a few days, but this time I have a really good reason. I've had full blown pneumonia.
I started getting sick last weekend, but tough girl thought it was just the cold air. Worked Monday. Couldn't get out of bed Tuesday, worked Wednesday. I had an 11:00 am dr's appt, so I went to that, dropped off scripts, and came back to work. Well, I had minor pneumonia on Wednesday. The dr gave me the choice of taking this horrible high drug, levaquinn, or go to hospital right then. He said this pill was the highest dosage of antibiotic for this crap and the next step was iv antibiotics. Well, I told him I had already done that Saturday at the hopsital (pissed him off that they didn't call him). So we agreed go home take drugs work when and if I felt like it.
Well, I didn't. In fact, I hurt so bad in my chest and ribs I called my mommy to come take care of me. I'm 40 and calling my mommy who I'm supposed to take care of, so you know I felt like I was going to die. Any way, since I've had such pain in my ribs, dr called in a narc for me. 2 of them every 6-8 hours. Well, mom crushes them and feeds them to me like a bird. I'm out for hours after that and then those ribs start hurting. I had a NC friend call me yesterday and I told him it was Sunday and I had to go to work today. They (mom and him) in stereo said, "It's Saturday and your ass is staying in bed". Uh, ok.
It's almost 11 am on Sunday. First chance to be without drugs, cuz she' still asleep. ?However, I just took them, so I'll be out in a few. But, wanted to say I wasn't a fair weather friend. I've worried about all of you going through things and just couldn't get the computer away from Nurse Ratchett to say my sorries to everyone. Wanette, my heart is just breaking for you right now.
Anyway, I'm alive and have to go to work tomorrow, so I guess I'll be better. Sadly, I'm having to attend a hearing to fire a girl who used to be one of my best employees. She married last year to a druggie convict (had to wait for his prison release) to get married. I feel so bad, but she's been no call/no show since 2/12. Time to have reality set in.
Until later,
