When it rains, it pours

What's better than one medical problem at night - that's right two.  We're having us a twofer night.  After dbubley called from the ER and said to stay home tonight because they were admitting her, stonebender and I headed to bed.  Anyone want to guess what I found on his hip?  You win (and you know us too well) if you answered a large red and hot patch of skin.  Yep, cellulitis hits us twice in one night.  We had a paper prescription for his antibiotic, so off I go to the 24 hour Walgreen's drive-through pharmacy.   Even though no one was in line, it took an hour to fill it because they close for a 30 minute break about 10 minutes after I pulled up.  I drove around because I hate sitting in an almost empty parking lot at 3 am, I feel like a target.  Now I'm home, I need to take a few of my meds and try to get some sleep.  I think I'll sleep in until 6:15 am.  I might get 2 hours of sleep - oh boy, tomorrow/today's going to be fun. 

Edit/Update: Doctors say it's a UTI, gave her iv antibiotics and want to send her home.  I've off to pick her up now.

Shit!

Go back to bed!

(I know. Easy for me to say.)

nope, can't do it. I'm off to pick her up form the ER. I hope she's okay. I know her back is killing her. I called in sick to work, which is just as well since I not only don't have sleep, but I've thrown up twice myself today. Nerves or sick, I don't know. Not a great way to start the first full week of 2009. Crap.

I think it's good news that they want to send her home, just hard for you to have to go back and forth.

sigh.

I'm so sorry.

Too bad they couldn't bring her home as well as taking her in.

HUGS Oh Man!
