Updates...or something

[autumnluv143]

Thought it would be polite to update everyone on what's going on with me. Not to mention, it might help clear some shit out of my head.

I didn't get the job at the Central Reservation office for state parks. That's ok. I saw a job in the announcements that I want more. It's working in the office at the School for the Deaf. Still a pay raise/promotion. Still in Baton Rouge and even better, it's in the field I want to work in anyway. So I sent in my application. No idea how long it will take to hear from them.

So in the meantime I will bide my time still working in Madisonville.

I was in the ER yesterday for nearly 6 hours. That has to be more annoying than the reasons people are there. I am having pain in my lower right side. Not the good kind of pain..yanno? I called my Dr. thinking someone there could see me and no, because it even smelled like it could be possibly related to appendicitis, they sent me to the ER. I hate it there. I brought a book with me because I knew I would not be seen for hours. Got through 9 chapters before even that got boring.
So they got me in there and took some blood, did a catheterized urine sample ("You're pulling away from me darlin, I won't be able to get it that way" "Yeah, I know but that hurts...alot"), and did a cat scan. I ended up asking for a blanket and a pillow (because fuck this shit, I'm going to sleep) and slet for an hour. Then the Dr. comes in and tells me that they didn't find anything and that it's "probably some kind of infection." They send me home with that information to last me. <blinks> They said if the problem gets worse (and then handed me a list of appendicitis symptoms) to come back and see them.
I would go to the other hospital in Slidell...but...they are a Tenet hospital and have plenty of lawsuits surrounding them for wrongful deaths, misplaced lasers, bad IV's...causing of missing limbs and toxemia. Yeah..not the most attractive rumors to have about a hospital. No wonder it only takes an hour to get into their ER.

I'm at work today and I don't like it so I'm leaving as soon as the 12:00 girl gets here.

My sister called me on Monday wanting to know how my mother was. Well, she's not great. I think she may have had a small stroke, but she refuses to go to the Dr. and see about it (Mid-slur: "Why should I? If I had a stroke, there's nothing they can do about it). My sister is grieving the death of my mother though, and she has awhile yet. Some days she sounds fine, clear as a whistle..making sound decisions and everything. Some days she is walking around and acting like she's been drinking heavily for days.
She traded in her relatively new car for a 2005 Sebring program car. Oh wait..and it's a convertible. She's wanted one since she lost all the weight and my dad entertained the idea because he's going along with the rest of us on the 'not gonna be around much longer' train. He must really believe it or he would have never agreed to let her trade it in.

Ok, yes, I'm depressed, but I'm not devastated. I will be. I'm sure of it. I'm still not allowed to be emotional about this and there are only two people right now that have a rough idea of how I'm feeling. I just don't see a point in making her miserable with the idea that everyone else is so upset.

Idiots. Fools.

Whew. Okay. The universe is looking out for you. This means I won't have to go yell at the people at state parks. ;)

As for the rest, ::hug::

Sorry to have missed you last time you were near here! I came to LJ digging for your phone number to try and work something out. I knew I had seen where you'd posted it. Couldn't find it anywhere! Until the next day when I checked some email. 8-) I'm at 225-272-0447.
