My Murphy's Law Day- Partially On but Partially OT for Some

Ok so this is just one of those days where you mostly wish you had never got out of bed! For some of you, you may not know this, but I am a type II diabetic. So I see my doctor every 3 months. So today was appointment day. I had to bring Marcella, my 9 year old daughter with me cuz Bob, my hubby who is a courier, was still on a run. He apologized for forgetting about my appointment cuz he said if he had remembered he would have brought Marcella with him. Ok so anyway... Since he has never failed to not want me to have blood work before my appointments, I was surprised when the last time I had seen him he hadn't wrote me a prescription for that. So... I called the office and the lady put me on hold and came back and said he didn't want me to do it this time. I found it very surprising because like I said he *always* wants me to do it and not only that he just prescibed a new cholesterol med cuz we can't seem to get my cholesterol lowered so I would have thought he wanted to see how it was working. But whatever, I went with it.

So today the first thing he says is "So did you do blood work for me?" I replied "No. The last time I was here, I realized the next day I didn't have a prescription for that, so I called your office and the lady I spoke to said you didn't want me to do it." Guys, I must have got someone in trouble cuz he sprang up out his chair and ran out of the office. Then he came back and said "Ok so any complaints?" I told him about those two sugar lows and also that my headaches have been getting very bad and even the prescription he has me on for them isn't helping lately. He said he is thinking now it might be sinuses so he told me to open my mouth and do the ahh thing and then he looked in my ears and said I have a wax build up. So he gave me some samples of some liquid that's supposed to disolve the wax build up. Then he said he wants me back in 7 days. But here's the thing if the 7 days is cuz he wants to see if the wax cleared up, ok fine. But... I went ahead and made the appointment and then I thought about it after I got home and if I had a co-pay no way can I pay again 7 days later cuz my copays are $35. We just can't afford it that soon. So I called and she said "You always have to pay." So I rescheduled for the following week after my next payday. But here's the thing like I said if cuz of the wax thing ok fine, but if I'm paying a co-pay again because his staff misinformed me and so he basically did nothing today because he had no blood work to look at I don't think I should have to pay for that. I did my job and asked if I was supposed to be doing it and had he just forgot and was told no, why should I have to pay again for *their* mistake?

Ok sorry I know this is already long, so onward we go but I'll try to be brief... Anyway so he gave me a prescription for blood work. I hadn't ate yet and had pretty much fasted cuz sometimes he wants to draw blood in his office so since I was already prepared I figured might as well get it out of the way cuz I hate hate hate blood work. I get sick and it hurts so bad and usually I get so bruised from it I look like a domestic violence victim. So...The lady couldn't find a good vein and it hurt when she kept trying. Marcella was the sweetest though! I was trying to be brave so I didn't worry and scare her but it hurt so much guys! So I kept drawing in my breath and so she made funny faces and did a little dance to try to distract me and then finally she said "I know it hurts mommy squeeze my hand" and she came closer and offered her hand to me. What a sweetie! Anyway the phlebotomist finally had to use the top of my hand cuz she couldn't get a good vein anywhere.

Ok but there's more! It was *finally* turning into a good day for a few hours-then. We had a few errands to run so hubby offered to get me Subway cuz they took longer than expected and it was getting late and I still had to get ready and pack what I wanted to bring to work tonight. So... The Subway is in a conveniance store and Marcella asked for a Hershy bar so I had the Subway guy give me a receipt so I could pay at the main register. So the lady said "Credit or debit?" I said "Neither, I'm paying cash?" She said "You can't pay cash at my register so which is it? Credit or debit?" So finally she sent me back to the Subway guy and he was telling I assume his
manager that he needed her to fix it so I could pay him and she replied "I don't have to do s***! You do it!" Niiiice. Ok so that ordeal ended and once again just chillin' till work time and then I bring diet sodas (in cans) cuz I need to stay awake for this shift. So... Getting the stuff out of my car and all the sodas fell out of the case all over the parking lot and 3 cans exploded and all the drink leaked out of them from it!
