I feel bloody awful. My head hurts, my nose is streaming, everything is woolly, I'm tired, I'm hot with a fever, and I want it to stop NOW. The light at the end of the tunnel for me today is that I have a massage at 3.30pm and G will actually BE AT HOME so that I can LEAVE THE HOUSE.
I ended up sleeping in D's room last night so that I could get some uninterrupted sleep (if you discount the 4 visits to the loo) without D waking me -- leaving G to cope with him if he woke as he was insisting on sleeping in our bed still due to his poxyness. I don't know if it helped me because I still feel crappy, but I guess I got more sleep than I have been having so maybe I do feel better only I don't know it yet due to this poxy cold.
Last night I went to the Drug Store to get my new prescription for Fragmin. I'd phoned it in 2 days earlier, knowing that they have to order it, and was told it was ready so I drove over there and was handed 1 box of 5 needles.
Ummm, no, my prescription was for 6 wks worth???
No, this is what you need.
No, it is not, I need 42 needles not 5.
No, this is correct
No, it is not
Hang on, let us check
............................................................................PAUSE FOR 10 MINS
OK, sorry, we did the order wrong. We'll have to order them again.
Hang on while we process it through again.
............................................................................ANOTHER LONG WAIT
That'll be $99.95 please
You're kidding? For 6 wks worth of needles? ($99.95 is 10% of the cost, meaning the actual cost is $995).
Sorry, yep, these are more expensive than what you had before
If this pregnancy doesn't kill me it'll bankrupt me.
Meanwhile, during the extremely lengthy waiting around in the drug store I ended up talking to a woman who was getting a prescription for Fragmin too. She seemed extremely anxious and freaked out by it so I was able to put her mind at rest and answer some questions she had about where to inject, and that there wouldn't be too much bruising (even had to get my enormous belly out and show her!) and she seemed extremely relieved to be able to discuss it with someone. Turns out she was pregnant but had suffered lots of prior miscarriages.
