NOT MY DAY

[lecanis]

Okay, so... whining ahead. Seriously.

1) Once again my son woke up seizing. For the third day in a row.

2) His doctor is basically referring us EVERYWHERE. In a way, that's good -- he will get a lot of care and some treatment and testing that he hasn't had before. But, at the same time, it means about a thousand separate trips of Nashville, because EVERY SPECIALIST is there. There are some specialists for various things in Clarksville, but none of them take Tenncare.

Which leads me to...

3) NO ONE TAKES TENNCARE. Basically, we got sent from the dr's office to the hospital to have tests done, and they went 'no, we can't do it, but this lab can.' So I wound up driving 15 minutes or so across town to this lab I'd never heard of to get the test done. AFTER having waited almost half an hour at the hospital to get registered. >>

THEN the lab wasn't open at the time the hospital had said it would be, so we wound up going to have lunch and then going back there.

4) Drawing blood from kids sucks. We finally had to do the prick-and-milk method on his finger. The poor thing is bruised like crazy, and was cranky as hell.

5.) His father calls me, while we're napping, to tell me that his electricity is out because he didn't pay his bill. And comes over to my place to use my computer to find out how to deal with the situation, and then has to go back to his place to wait on someone to come turn it back on. Sooo I don't know what time he's taking D, and he was all freaking out all over the place at me. Which just made me MORE annoyed after the bad day we'd had.

... what else? I know there's other shit, but that was most of it. I still feel sick, which isn't cool at all, and I can't seem to get my apartment cleaned up, because every time I start working on it, something happens that has to be dealt with. Or, you know, I pass out.

... so I might be cleaning some tonight or tomorrow, hopefully. Or screaming into my pillow for a few hours. >>

Sounds like you need a day off.

[lecanis]

Yes. I definitely do. Thankfully the electricity thing is now sorted out and my kid is at his father's. And tomorrow instead of sitting online doing crap all day, I'm going to rest some. And hopefully do the cleaning tomorrow or Sunday too. >>

[dark-kaomi.livejournal.com]

Just in time too. I would clean everything first if I were you. You'd feel productive and less guilty for leaving it until the last moment.

[lecanis]

Yeah I'm going to try to, but I can't tonight. I don't want to pass out in the floor again. I'll probably actually have to plan to do some Sat and some Sunday so I don't hurt myself. >>

[dark-kaomi.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan. Just take a day for yourself okay?

[lecanis]

Meeeh I need to, but if I don't space the cleaning stuff out, I can't get it all done. But I think one afternoon this weekend I'm going to go to a movie or something! :D :D

[dark-kaomi.livejournal.com]

I recommend Inception; very good movie.

[lecanis]

Mm another one of my friends was telling me that too! :D :D I'll have to see when it's playing here.

Oh goodness honey that sounds like quite a hectic day, I'm so sorry. Hopefully you can get a chance to rest soon. Oh and by the way I think it is totally inhumane that a person cannot receive treatment at a medical treatment facility when they already have health insurance. American seriously wtf. *hugs and thinks of you*

[lecanis]

What really bugs me about the insurance thing is that:

We have basically Tennessee's Medicaid. The reason we have it in the first place is because 1) my son has severe chronic health problems and 2) we're broke.

So it's just like... thank you for all this runaround for my sick child, that's great.

[cloudyskies2046.livejournal.com]

I completely agree. You should go to whomever is best for his treatment, not whomever is on the "list of doom" for your insurance. I know my insurance has a list for everything, and the only reason I haven't been through that crap is because the only serious conditions I've ever had were not covered at all (eye and teeth). We don't just need health care reform, we need drastic health care reform ahaha >>; <3

Leccy-luv needs more love.

>.> Izumo-muse says HE will give leccy much love because obviously he'll make it all better. *Stares at her muse in disbelief; muse puffs up his chest and gives her his best 'AND?' pout* ....

...and because Suz is useless, I can write you more random fanfic bits. >.>;
