Not even going to get close  |
|
Normally, I get home from work, and get to play on the computer doing mylot stuff for a few hours.
Normally...
Now, today the roomie was supposed to go to the doc to get the date for her surgery. Supposed to....
She gets there, they take her blood pressure and tell her its too high - that NOT only are they NOT going to schedule the surgery right now - but she needs to go directly to the nearest hospital, don't pass go - don't collect $200... (joke mostly for those who play Monopoly...)
Well, the NEAREST hospital is across the street, but it is also one of the busiest - well, one of the 5 busiest in town anyway - but catty-corner to the doc's office is another hospital - the HEART HOSPITAL - so we talk him into letting me take her there...
They wouldn't even let her walk down to the car, insisted on taking her in a wheelchair - at least I got to see the cute nutritionist guy that way
So, 5:25 we are at the hospital, they want a list of her meds - well of COURSE she doesn't have a list of them - we have GOT to get that into her wallet! - but she remembers them so that's good
They do an EKG, they give her a pill (lucky it wasn't ME with the problem...) they keep taking her blood pressure, they go do a CAT scan (I didn't hear any cat screams, so I guess she and the cat are all right)
We finally get out of there just after 8.
We are driving up the road toward home with her on the phone to the pharmacy filling the blood pressure meds.
Now, we haven't eaten since lunch - so we pull into KFC and get her grilled hot wings and me grilled chicken and side salads for dinner.
Next we go to the pharmacy, which is next to the KFC, but of course we have to go back out on the major road to get to the place! And they actually have the meds ready - only 20 minutes after we called them in!!!
This is all to explain WHY I'm not even going to be as close as I hoped to payout with tomorrow's update!
So, have last minute emergencies caused you to spend less time than you had planned mylotting? I sure hope it didn't cost you as much as it cost ME!!!

1. stephcjh (22442) | 4 months ago | I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through all of that today. I have had things like that happen to me also and I missed out on some earnings and cashouts also. I hate it but it happens sometimes.

2. Hatley (20477) | 4 months ago | hi ElicBxn only the need to get up and stretch every so often. my doctor told me never to sit at the computer more than three hours without getting up and moving around,to make it even harder for me I have this computer and monitor set up on my chest of drawers which would be great except for one little thing,I have to sit with'my knees splayed out as unlike a desk my chest of drawers has no knee hole. wah wah. but I am not really missing too much time as now its cooled off I can work better not faster but at least better.You have had one busy day helping your roomie.wow.my roommate is still in rehab after having had surgery on her back. and I do have 30 dollars and some odd cents already rung up on mylot yippee for my side I worked so hard to make this.

I do have a proper desk, so I don't have that problem at least, tho the mess is enough to put me off doing any thing!

ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | Thanks, Tamara, yeah, hospitals, one of those things we hope we never need, but hope its there if we do! I was mentioning to her that it was about this time last year I was getting OUT of the hospital after my gall bladder surgery. They are wanting to get her in for a gastric bypass and gall bladder removal.

GardenGerty (20238) | 4 months ago | Lab tests are the other things that peeps get, I guess, or cats, perhaps. Computerized Tomography, CT is what they call them mostly now. I get a cat scan every time I come home.

ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | I knew someone would like that - As all you know I'm under nearly constant scan when I'm in the rest of the house, that's why I lock them out of my computer/craft space

5. GardenGerty (20238) | 4 months ago | I worked over fourteen hours today. Needless to say, I have not been here. I am already over, though.Just a little bit, but every little bit helps. I am short one staff. I had someone lined up to fill in. She did not write me down, so then accepted an offer in another program. I worked the six hour shift because I had no one else. This is a salary job, so there is no pay incentive for those extra hours. No comp time as such, either. There is, however, a very forgiving time off policy if you consistently work your forty plus hours. Like last week. I am out of paid time off until November 17. I stayed home two days. Nothing lost, docked or deducted. I guess I am polishing up a crown for heaven.

ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | my job is NO paid time off, not even holidays - I don't wish my mother would die, but I could wish for some paid days off! Last time I took time off I had my gall bladder out!

6. sparkofinsanity (3486) | 4 months ago | Don't you just hate it when LIFE gets in the way of life? LOL I've only managed to rack up ninety nine cents this month. So no payout for me either and that's a first! Been too busy trying to organize my trip to Ontario to be with my son who is ill again. Won't have my computer with me either, so I guess no payout next month either! Damn life! ROFL

7. blackbriar (6209) | 4 months ago | grrrrrrrrrrrrr.......what is it with doctors and the delay of surgery? I'm having a similar problem cept I've been waiting over a year to have my surgery done. Every friggin' time I go in hoping to finally get the medical clearance for it, they always find something else wrong with me to delay the surgery yet again. This time it might be diabetes. I won't know till this Friday when I see the doctor again. Anyways, to get back on track here, no last minute emergencies have caused me to spend time away from mylot. It's either doing alot of yard work or work in general that keeps me away. I sure hope your roomie is doing ok.

ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | me too, but I think that she will, if its down, then she can have the surgery - and that should help her get most of the weight off she needs off
| |
|
|
|
ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | yeah, I'm only a couple of bucks, it would be nice to get back to a pay out a month, but then next month will be a good one

ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | yeah, the roomie's mom had both knees and both hips done and she was in a lot of pain
I have to say, that the first knee surgery got us Oliver, since he showed up the same day we went out to visit her mom after surgery and the people across the street had found him in their back yard

10. horsesrule (1791) | 4 months ago | Wow, that sounds stressful, I hope she will be okay. Yes, stuff like that happens to me a lot and I don't get to go on the computer and try to earn a few cents here and there. It's frustrating. I try to handle it gracefully but I dont' always since I am not all that adaptable when I have plans and they are thrown out because of the needs of others. And didn't that sentence make me sound horrid and selfish! But I mean, there's always someone here who needs something and there are a lot of times I have to help out especially with the kids since they are too young to take care of themselves. They're my grandsons and I live with them and their mother. Mostly its okay except oh my, they have a LOT of energy!
| |
| |
|
|
ElicBxn (15166) | 4 months ago | that's why you have kids when your young and have more energy yourself!
I know a gal who had her first in her late 30's, she's not sorry, but I kid you not, she's got teenagers in her mid-50's, I didn't have patience for them when I was in my 20's!
