Apr. 7th, 2016 03:37 pmI keep trying to get Scott to take the paper prescription that I need filled. He’s not willing to go out to fill it once he gets home, but he keeps not taking it to work with him. I will run out of that medication at noon tomorrow. I won’t need another dose until Saturday morning, but the timing is getting tight, and I can’t wait until Scott gets around to doing the groceries on Saturday, even if he’s not working. I think I’m just going to have to insist that he take the damned thing to the pharmacy this evening.
I think that two days in a row was too much for the kids in terms of time together. Cordelia got very frustrated because she wanted to do things together while the other two kids wanted to do things independently but in the same general vicinity. I think it comes down to the other kids being used to having other kids around at any time when they want company because they have each other and because they live in an area with a lot of other kids (graduate family housing for the local university). Cordelia knows that, if she doesn’t take advantage while she has company, she won’t get another chance soon.
I’ve been having anxiety related physical issues, headaches mostly but some IBS, too. I’ve been resisting taking Ativan which is probably stupid, but I resent needing it. I just scheduled Cordelia’s PT, so I’m hoping that that will ease things in that direction. She’ll be going in every Thursday in the late morning for the next five weeks. The timing means that she’ll be missing part or all of Chinese, math, and ELA on those days. It’s not ideal, but I can’t see a way around it.
The UMHS patient portal access for me with regard to Cordelia isn’t going to be all that useful. Apparently they don’t give parents/guardians access to test results for children between 12 and 17. I can see that, given the issues adolescents can have in terms of needing care that their parents might not approve of for things that really, really need to be treated, but… It seems silly that I can’t see the MRI report on Cordelia’s knee or get a list of her prescriptions. And they’d have to tell our insurance if they want to be paid, so we’d find out anyway. I don’t know.
It also won’t give me a list of her upcoming appointments which was, to be honest, the main useful thing I could think of for the portal. I’m really not sure what the point is. They won’t set up access for Cordelia until she’s 18, and they won’t give me access, either.
I slept in until 9:00 this morning, but I’m still tired enough to want to nap now. Sadly, Cordelia is ensconced in our bedroom, and the cleaning lady is here, so I don’t think I’m going to get the chance. I’m hesitant to try more coffee or to eat much because of the IBS (the kids ate all the pretzels and crackers over the last two days, and all the bread we have left is needed for Scott for tomorrow).
