I woke up & quickly realized work was out of the picture for today. I called in then called my family doctor. UGH! I get paid once a month and didn't have near enough to pay the $50 doctor fee. I asked if I could pay half and post date a check. Nope. After calling my sister & Amanda to borrow money, which was a last ditch effort I knew I was prolly not going to get into see a Doctor. So then I tried several other options, other doctors ($70 doctors visit and no payment plan) the free clinic (you have to call before 8am to get an appointment the next day) how about the county health clinic (they wanted $42). Mom was doing all the calling while I was snoozing in bed, I felt like death ran over.
After waking up and realizing I was screwed I decided to go to the emergency room. I spent three hours there, had a cat scan and left with a ear wick in my ear, ear drops and prescriptions for Augmentin & vicodin. I officially have swimmer's ear & a middle ear infection. It's extremely painful & I want it to be gone pronto.
Dad went with me & was amazing. I started crying after they looked at my ear because the pain shooting through it was horrible & he began crying too. I don't know what I'd do without him. He's always so helpful and does whatever it takes to make sure I'm ok. He sometimes worries too much about everyone but he loves us so it's hard not to. I know that no matter what he's there to help with anything. Which means the world to me.
Ciao!
