That system is just so fucked up. I hope something gives in your favor, ita.
4 bags of leaves. And this is just the start. My wrists hurt. However, this is the last real opportunity I will have to deal with them until December, so my neighbors will have to pick up the slack (which is why I did 4 houses worth of sidewalk and street.) Also, the shopvac works beautifully for blowing the leaves off the porch and steps and mulch (though it would work better on the mulch if it hadn't rained Friday night, but still!)
I don't want to be invasive (and I'm not planning on it) but do we know the name of the hospital?
I realised I should have stayed back and talked to the social worker (since apparently that's the signature on the ER only contract that was 2 and is maybe 0 (? I couldn't tell--is this one doc, or department policy--what did the doc mean when she said I was free to come back?) and my neuro thinks that's ethically compromised), but once I'd gotten into the taxi I was done for today. I came home, sent a "Not Monday, will tell you when I can come back" email, as well as cancelling my vendor meeting. Depending on how sitting around at the doctor's goes, next sit goes to the social worker.
I hope. I'm not exactly not crying a lot.
Does anyone remember having chicken pox or had their kids get it? Sammy was exposed 16 days ago and now he has a rash on his backside. And he's been really sick with fever if 101 and runny nose. But I thought chicken pox looked more like spots and less like a rash if that makes sense.
Google image search is your friend. I had chicken pox twice, notoriously mildly the first time, when I was only 6 months old, and terribly the second time. I gather it is often mild in under-1s. But the classic presentation has pox scattered all over the face and torso, less on the limbs.
The pox start out fairly small, but then they turn into little blisters.
All the images I have found are pretty bad looking. I guess we just keep waiting.
WHEE! We're getting more foster kittens! I'm going to pick up the roommate at the airport, and then off to pick up kittens! Keep them for a week or two, go "awww" over how cute they are, and then give them back. Perfect.
I need to get in on that racket!
