Sorry about that, but I really needed this today. I spent two hours in the waiting room of my regular doctor's office, WITH two children. Apparently, although I had an appointment at 10:30 am and was early to it, I was still considered a "walk-in" since I made the appointment that morning. If you are a walk-in, then they see you AFTER they've seen all the other patients that had appointments. Sorry, but I wasn't aware I was going to develop an illness until late last night!
I gave up after two hours. I called Katy Urgent Care, they had a 10 minute wait, and I left with both kids in tow and drove over there. I walked right in, filled out paperwork, paid my copay, and 10 minutes later had the results back of my rapid strep test. It was positive. Are you kidding me? I haven't had strep since I was a kid. And it is brutal, let me tell you.
I think the worst part of it all is being stuck at home. No Y for me, no playdates for the kids . . . just me, Sammy and Sophia . . . plus every Thomas the Tank Engine movie ever made. On the plus side, my friends are the best ever - they've offered to pick up Sammy and get him out of the house, bring me dinner, come over so I can sleep. I love them! I've refused all offers, mainly because I don't want to get anybody else sick, and plus I just have Mommy Syndrome - I will never be sick enough that I can't make dinner or deal with my kids. Try telling that to Mike - he knows better, but hey, I'm trying to keep up appearances!
Sing it with me, girls . . . Oxycontin, washed down with Jack D . . . put it in a cup, it looks like iced tea . . . Oxycontin, washed down with Jack D . . . put it in a cup, it looks like iced tea! Peace Out!
OMG. AWESOME. I needed that!
