So I called the doctor AGAIN today. A nice nurse finally agreed that I needed to come back in and said that the doctor would see me FOR FREE. Yay! So I went and followed her instructions and I saw a doctor. He told me that the inside of my ear looked "angry." That was the exact word he used. I told you it hated me. 😂 Anyway, he prescribed me some ear drops (which the first doctor said I did NOT need) and a different set of antibiotics in case the first ones don't work.
So I was all happy (well, hurting like hell because he'd just probed my ear and I hadn't taken any Ibuprofen in the last few hours), but optimistic. Then I got to the exit place and the lady up front told me there's a charge. I told her I was told that I wasn't supposed to be charged and she got all uppity with me. When I asked her if I could speak to the nurse that I spoke to over the phone she went and got someone else and they were all "Nothing is for free." I was appalled. They were SO fucking rude.
Then the nurse who I spoke to walked up and it turned out that those stupid women up front had sent me to the wrong doctor. She said, "I came up here and told all of them." I thanked her and the doctor who was planning to see me. But look - I'm already tired because I haven't slept a whole night through in over a week, I'm broke as fuck, and MY EAR WAS KILLING ME. I gave those bitches up front my credit card, but didn't sign the slip. I'm going to dispute that charge. But anyway, I got my prescription, got in the car, and cried all the way back to work. When I got there, I told Nick my sad story and then went to my desk. I still hadn't quite gained my composure and when my boss asked me what was the matter I cried again when I told him.
About 5 minutes after that my mom called. My grandmother (who has Alzheimer's) has run away and won't take her meds. Mom was following her in the car, but she won't get in. Mom wanted me to come talk to her. Also, I heard that my little MaMaw had sort of roughed up of one of my friends from high school who my mom got to watch her. She's going to be a handful. I called mom right after I got home and luckily the cops had already picked her up so I didn't have to go. I'm so glad... I was completely not up for going all the way out there and fighting MaMaw. She's ferocious. Where do you think me and my mom got it from?? Anyway, looks like she's going to have to be put in a home... No one can keep up with her. It'll probably be best for her. I hope, anyway. 😕
About the only good thing that has happened to me today was that I got my Christmas present from Nick... and it was SO worth the wait. It's a Yoda purse / backpack... it looks like he's riding on your back. I LOVE IT. The straps are too big for me (as with most everything) but that will be easy to fix.
Anyway, we're about to go eat. I'm NOT cooking today - not that I have a right to call that thing I do cooking, but you know what I'm saying. So yeah, HOPEFULLY that's all that goes wrong today. If not... well, I suppose you'll read about it later, eh?
