Letting it out

Insurance bs

Went to the doctor today, a doctor who actually listened and didn't make me feel completely uncomfortable, especially considering the appointment I was at.  But, anyway, I have two meds to see if they help get rid of the problem.  If the problem gets worse then I need to call and get in sooner than my already 6 week appointment that is scheduled.  Depending on how things go, depends on whether or not I need further testing. 

Well, went to get my prescriptions filled, and neither insurance company wants to fill one of them.  They had to fax the doctor to get an explanation as to why I need to be on it.  First response, obviously the doctor thinks I need to be on it, isn't that explanation enough?  Second, my dumbass can't even remember the name of the prescription so I could see why 2 insurance companies need so much information. I called the doctor's office to let them know what was going on and they informed me that they would be looking for the fax, no problem. 

This evening I decided to call back the pharmacy to see the status of my prescription.  My naive self.  "M'am, just so you know it can take up to 2 weeks to get an approval.  But, go ahead and call back tomorrow."

How will a prescription that is supposed to fix a problem now going to help me if I can't even have it for up to 2 weeks later? 

B.S.  That's what I gotta say.  Absolute b.s. 

But, maybe, they will put a rush on it...maybe. 

Rearended

Yesterday, on my way to work, I was rearended.  First accident.  We were both stopped at a light, and she reached to get something and took her foot off of the break.  No damage, no scratch, nada.  Phew. 

Sore from work, crashed at 9 last night.  Crazy, when I've been staying up until 11 or 12. 

Plan to relax this weekend. 

Appointment on Monday with a specialist.  Will update when I can. 

Meds

Pain meds are good.  Went to the ER this afternoon where I was told by the doctor:  "I am not a one-stop shop.  If you need surgery, I can help you."  A complaint will be filed tomorrow.  I have to get a referral to a specialist to figure out why I am such pain for 6 days now.  In the mean time I have some pain meds that I can only take when I'm at home.  Freaking fantabulous. 

For now, though, I'll enjoy the drugs and the lala land I feel I'm in. 

Out.

Different germs

Yesterday Addyson was back to normal.  She still hates taking her meds, and only gets some of them down.  She is eating again like a little piggy, probably stocking up from all the days of not eating.  No fever since Saturday afternoon. 

Eligh was playful and had a low grade fever twice yesterday but now has nasty boogies. 

Kinsley was a fuss bucket yesterday.  She kept rubbing her eyes all day, but she would only nap for a little over an hour twice.  She didn't know what she wanted.  Wanted to be held, and then she didn't.  She had a fever all day with lots of drool and some clear boogies.  Today she is smiling again and no fever.  Still drooling and producing clear boogies.  I'm thinking it is her tooth causing her the problems, it looks painful to me. 

The twins will be turning 9 months on Wednesday and their appointment is on Thursday. 

All I know is that we have a vacation in 7 days, and things better get better around here.  I can handle the runny nose and sore throat I now have, but I can't handle the kiddos being sick. 

I have so much to do to get ready for our trip:

1. Get recently purchased tire fixed.
2. Purchase formula and diapers
3. Purchase an umbrella stroller
4. Find a size 3 boy sandal that doesn't look fruity
5. Pick out outfits for the week
6. Make packing list
7. Purchase discounted tickets
8. Pick up Addyson's 2 year pictures
9. Pack
10. Make packing list
11. Pack
12. Pack
13. Pack!!!!!

One week to go and I have no motivation to get anything done.  I'm working on laundry now and thinking about making a list, but considering how achy I feel, it probably won't get done today.

Lists

Reasons to stay home from work:

Skipping a beat

Most know my past health issues concerning my blood pressure. 

Today, I know my bp took several spikes. 

• Losing my lunch period

• Almost getting side swiped by another vehicle

• The phone finally ringing.  Just hours until my "singeldom" are over.

• The biggest one came during bath time.  The babies are crawling every where.  I was giving Eligh his bath, with Kinsley crawling to me in the bathroom, and Addyson watching over me bathing Eligh.  Well.....I took Eligh out of the bath, put him on the floor in his room and put his diaper on and went to go bathe Kinsley.  Umm....yeah, so Addyson had already started giving her a bath.  WAIT!  No, she didn't pick her up and put her in the bath (thank God), she just started taking a cup and pouring water over her back, as I do to them when they are in the bath.  Big puddle of water, and a soaking wet baby.

My heart has settled down and all I can do is laugh, because if I didn't I think I would cry.
