Under the table & under the weather.


Ok, disregard my previous post about how I was feeling so much better. Yesterday was a horrible, no good, very bad day. We are ALL sick. Aunt Lisa has bronchitis, which is really more like the flu, we think; she's been sick since Saturday and feels bad still but went back to work tomorrow. Aunt Tricia has the flu and stayed home, so we went to the Tricare Service Center to make sure I'm enrolled, couldn't get an appointment so we went to BAMC's Emergency Room (I know, it's not an emergency, but what else could we do? We have to fly in a plane on Friday and we sure couldn't do that with me all screaming and congested.) So we see like 4 people, then they tell us they can let us wait 8-10 hours (yes, HOURS) to get in the ER, or we can have a triage appointment at 2 pm. Hello, triage appointment.

We left and drove around a while, I cried and fell asleep and Aunt Tricia cried because her head kept on hurting. Then we went to her doctor and got her some flu medicine, then back to BAMC to see my doctor. He actually saw us EARLY, and was very kind and friendly, and said I just have a bad head cold and my lungs are clear. So we got a little antibiotic and some baby Motrin and I feel much better today. Let's hope that continues!
