S-I-C-K

Remember when I said I wasn't feeling well on Tuesday? When I got off work that afternoon and picked Brad up from work, he said he wasn't feeling well either. In fact, he had even been throwing up! So we headed to the new Med-Express place that just opened down the street. We got there at about 5:30pm and they closed at 6:00pm. We were the ONLY people in there so we didn't have to wait long. However, instead of a nurse taking my vitals and asking about my medical history, I had a teenager-in normal, everyday clothes and whom had obviously never done this before. She informed me, while taking my blood pressure, that I needed a chest x-ray. I told her that I really didn't think I needed a chest x-ray because my congestion wasn't in my chest, it was in my head. She said, "Ok, well, follow me into the exam room!" And she takes off walking......with me still sitting in the chair with the blood pressure cuff on!! So I take the cuff off myself and follow her. She apologizes once she realized what she did. Meanwhile, Brad is getting checked on, by the same girl, in the other room. I sat and waited for the doctor. When the doctor came in, I thoroughly explained all my symptoms (I thought I had a sinus infection) and he prescribed me Zyrtec! He wrote me a prescription for something I could get over the counter?? I take it and go back out to sit in the waiting room and wait for Brad. The stupid teenager girl comes out and says, "Ohhhhh, did you get a shot?" "No." "Welllllllll, are you waiting on someone?" "Um, yes, my husband, the only other patient here." "Oooohhhhhh. Ok" And she then proceeds to turn all the lights off in the waiting room, where I am sitting, and locks all the doors. So I am sitting there, IN THE DARK, waiting for Brad to come out. He finally does and we have to get Stupid to unlock the door so we could leave! Brad tells me in the car that he had a 100.6 degree fever! And the stupid doctor told Brad to go buy some Pedialite! What the crap? Well I took my Zyrtec like I was told that night, went to work on Wednesday, went to work on Thursday....and still felt like CRAP. So Thursday I worked for a couple of hours and went home to bed! Today, I woke up feeling worse so I went to my normal doctor and got on some antibiotics. Hopefully I will get better soon! And Brad is 100% back to his normal self. He must have just had a bug. In quilting news, my houndstooth fabric I ordered came in the mail today so this weekend, I'll be a lean, mean quilting machine!
