My Brittany is doing better. She was having trouble getting her breath by Monday, she just didn't have enough air to talk and breath at the same time...so off to the doctor we went. We left the office with a prescription of Prednisone and an inhaler. No antibiotic because, apparently...you have to be sick now over 12 days for them to write a prescription for an antibiotic. I was quite miffed at the laptop computers that everyone was carrying around with them...I just wanted the person to look at us...and not the computer screen. Our doctor has moved on...not in that practice anymore...hmmm...wonder if that wonderful Obamacare that is promised us has anything to do with it? Brittany was asked every question imaginable...which was entered into that computer...and as I sat there with my sick daughter, who just wanted to be back home in bed I wondered just who was getting this information. A few days of bed rest...and she is getting stronger...she has had the sweats today...so that makes me think she is about through with this nasty virus. I am now searching for a new doctor's office...which hopefully I have found via a good friend.
I have been feeling under the weather myself...nothing like what Brittany has. I just think I am tired...I barely slept all last week...then with her being sick and all of our festivities and then yesterday...my mom had her second injection (so I was with her all day in the surgery center)...I am just beat.
Decided to take the day off and just give myself a rest. Brittany and I watched a movie that we have been craving...it is about John Keats. Called...Bright Star. We liked it very much although it had a very sad ending. It made me want to look up the poetry of Keats...did you know that he died at the age of 25? He died thinking he was a failure. If you like 19th century movies...and pretty dresses and bonnets...you may want to give it a try.
That's about it for now, (my mom is doing really great with these injections, by the way)...I am going to see what else I can get myself into...
Blessings!

I'm sorry you had such a disappointing experience at the Dr's office. We have computers at our office but we try very hard not to ignore anyone. They are all in the patient rooms. Wishing you well and hope all are better soon. OH!!! Love you beautiful header! Cathy
ReplyDeleteWe watched Bright Star too and really liked it. It was really sad too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that Brittany is getting better. It's so hard when you don't have a good doctor. I've been down that road many, many times and it's so frustrating. I'm very thankful that I have a good one now! Hope your new doctor works out! Get some rest - I remember after my sons' graduations, I was just beat. It's very emotional as well as a lot of work. Just enjoy some down time with your girl. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get that movie. Hoping the library has it. It looks so good. Thanks for sharing about it, I'm always looking for good movies.
God bless you, my friend!!
Love, Julie
Praying that her recovery will be quick, dear friend!
ReplyDeletesimply, maria.
You both needed a movie break. I will have to check this one out.Hope your mom is doing well.
ReplyDeleteAbout the doctor's office....I have the same doctor since 2007, in January of 2009, they changed their media system like the one you described. I like it,at first I was very worried, the whole world seeing this...but soon I realized it will be good.... here is the reason why. When we had to go to the hospital to get some x-rays, since the hospital is part of the exact network I didn't have to carry them through the other doctor's office, they had them in the same system so both doctor's could evaluate the same x-rays at different locations.
In Brazil we have to carry so many things to different places and wait for days the the results of everything. Since we had an emergency it was just all there as soon as the results were in, the same with two other medical problems I had. Now, my doctor is very friendly, I really like her.
take a long weekend to just relax, you worked so hard for the graduation.
(((((hugs))))
