You do hot have insurance (or even if you do, it is still so expensive to go to the doc you do the following) and so you may feel a little lousy or may notice something not so right about something in your health, but it is not enough to have you running to the doctor because you just cannot pay for it.
So, you begin to save ailments up, as a new one comes along it may be a little worse than the previous one, but it still isn't something you cannot handle. Then one day, you wake up, (or you don't--because you have never been to bed in the first place) and you have so many ailments you almost feel stupid for trying to cal the doctor's office because you know they are going to ask you why you need to come in... Then you have to give them your laundry-list of ails.
- jaw/teeth hurt, but it isn't your teeth,'cause when you push on them individually with your tongue or finger, they do not hurt, it's likely a bad sinus infection, plus all the recent headaches lean to that as well.
- nasty ooze coming from someplace that is designed for output, but only if you have given birth--and the whole darn things hurts to boot--it is warm, and sore, and you walk around holding it for support, because the bra doesn't do it well enough.
- possible yeast infection, which always helps me feel springtime fresh.
- likely bladder or kidney infection that has me running to the potty cause I keep feeling like I have to go and when I try nothing happens.
- sore on the inside of your nostril that won't heal and when you try to blow your nose it causes shooting pain and a round of, but how do I blow my nose without dying.
I think that covers most of them...
UGH!
The ibuprofen and Tylenol barely take the edge off the pain. James did offer me his last "good" painkiller, but I am trying to hold out. I just wish it didn't have to cost so much to go to the doc. I already owe them a small fortune anyway. Going to urgent care or the ER isn't really an option either, as that costs more and when you do not have insurance, they don't really want to see you anyway... Plus if they do see you and prescribe something, you are still left with trying to figure out how to pay for the prescriptions.
At any rate, that is how I have been feeling--L-O-U-S-Y!!!
Plus I tried to burn the place down... I made lasagna and put it in the oven. I could hear what I thought was it spilling over, so I opened the oven door... H-E-L-L-O flames! My oven tray that I keep in the bottom to help catch pills and such is on fire. So I turn the oven off, and get an oven mitt to pull out the liner. I try to put out the fire with the faucet and apparently it was a type of grease fire and wile the water puts some out it causes other parts to flare up. I got it out, put a piece of foil on the lower shelf in case the lasagna really does spill over and threw the liner away... Guess I'll have to clean the oven and but some more liners so it will not happen again. I had to think about what I had cooked in the oven previously--shepherd's pie--that spilled over. Can you say oops?
Oh well, just adds so much to the crumminess I feel.
Until next time...
