Mom had to go with us. Let the adventure begin!
It was peak sundowning time - and boy did mom let her presence be known in the doctor's office - she was like a kid. She wanted water (I brought water bottles---but she wanted to go outside!) She wanted Chapstick - had that one covered - she wanted to look at books - covered - had to go potty - hmmmmm - she would not use their potty - so she let me and everyone else know that she had to go.
We finally get to a room - Sam is feeling terrible at this point. But look at these pics - you tell me who looks more miserable? I call it a tie. (I am not pictured - but I was stressed - and could be pictured here)
Sam's diagnosis - red throat, fever and sinus infection - he was probably one day away from strep. He felt tough.
We leave the office - or try to. Mom becomes a statue. She won't budge - she thinks the ground is a hole..... Sam bless his heart - picks her up cradle style - and places her in the car...she was only worried about her HAIR. She was stiff as a board. Took us forever, it seemed, to get her limp enough to buckle her up.
We have to wait for prescriptions that were called in - we go to Wendy's - I pick up through drive - thru - I just get mom, Sam and Steve something - I wasn't in the mood. Mom takes her nuggets and fries bite by bite - whew!
We go to Walmart and they show us having no insurance - so we have to get that straight (mom and Sam were in the car) - that was another 30 minutes..... ugh.
We finally get home - mom was so tired she was literally like a drunk - just had to pour her into bed.
Geesh - this on top of the BOOST story - it deserves a post of it's own.
Sam stayed home today - he is taking medicine and is feeling a little better.
I just wish I had help yesterday - but did not - but we made it - I can laugh today - but last night - I could cry. Thankful for doctors.....thankful for laughter!
