I guess it would actually help to update on the wife... :FACEPAM:
I cant remember what I put in the first post, so if its redundant info, Im sorry. Its been one craptastic day.
Ok, so last night she had a nasty headache that motrin didnt touch. She woke up this morning and it hadnt gone away. When I got to work, she was already asking if I could leave early. I told her if it was that bad, she needed to get to a doctor. She ignored my (always) genius advice, and decided to lay down for a nap. When she woke up, she couldnt stop puking. By this time, she couldnt stand up, much less drive herself anywhere, and knew I couldnt leave work that early. (with the Regional VP coming, she wouldve needed to have been admitted into the hospital to pull me away). So she called her mom to come get her and take her to the urgent care. I get a text at about 11am saying mom made it and they were leaving now. I sent her a text at noon, and again at 1, but never got a reply. At 2, I tried calling her phone, house phone, and her mom's phone. I had already given my manager a heads up, and since I hadnt heard anything back, I called him to make sure I was ok to leave. As Im on the way out the door, mom calls me, its about 2:15. She said she's on her way to get CJ something to eat and get the girls off the bus. They hadnt told her much, but she knew they had an IV in her arm. By the time I get home, Mrs E is knocked out on the bed. Mom said they gave her several medications for the vomiting and nausea, and a general antibiotic to help with the "viral" infection. When they say viral infection, they dont know what caused it. They knew SOMETHING was wrong, they just couldnt figure out what. All in all, virus caused severe vomiting, caused severe dehydration, caused vertigo, increased heart rate, and all that fun stuff.
Overall, Mrs E is feeling better. She ate a few bites of dinner and it stayed down and is back in bed.
After mom left, I had to keep the kids outside so she could sleep. I took the time to get my lawn mower tire remounted on the rim and get the back yard cut, finally. Naturally, I shut off the mower before I parked it, then it wouldnt start back up.
I guess Drott was right... I am long winded. NOW i get to read all of the posts that Im sure are now posted
threatening me with bodily harm because I forgot to update....
