Dec. 22nd, 2018 01:14 pmI'm fighting a headache. I woke with it three hours ago, and nothing's helping so far. My next go-to is a hot shower, but Cordelia's got laundry running, so I need to wait a bit.
I really want to get an appointment with my primary care doctor, but the timing is terrible. I won't be able to call until Wednesday, and I have a mammogram that day which will make calling harder. UHS, where my doctor works, is primarily for students and has reduced hours until the new semester starts.
I haven't posted in a couple of days because Thursday got eaten by health difficulties and yesterday was all trying to catch up (and having things go wrong, one way or another).
Wednesday's choir concert went about as well as I expected. The kids sounded good. Scott's parents and sister attended, too, and stayed long enough to see and hear Cordelia's choir. I made it through the performance by the third of the four choirs before I felt too sick to stay. I had had a migraine before the concert and had taken Amerge. That stopped the pain, but I still had nausea and odor sensitivity which tend to feed each other. Being outside the auditorium help a lot. The air flow in the cafeteria was much better, and there were fewer people.
Thursday, my brain wouldn't work. I felt a lot like I'd been sedated with some really spectacular drugs. Even the biopsy site didn't hurt, and I couldn't find it in me to be anxious about anything. We checked with the clinic where I had had the biopsy, and they sent me to the ER. The people at the ER found nothing except signs of dehydration.
I'm boggled by the dehydration because I drink a lot of water and hadn't had less Wednesday/Thursday than usual. Everything seems to be going through my body at the right rate and in the right amounts.
I was supposed to call my doctor yesterday to schedule a follow up appointment, but I spaced on it. Given the holiday, I'm not likely to be able to follow up within the recommended seven day window and probably couldn't have even if I'd called yesterday.
We tried to open an account for Cordelia at the UM Credit Union yesterday, but I ended up talking to a woman who insisted that they don't do the things that their website very clearly says that they do. I want her to have an account with a debit card. The woman said they don't do that for 15 year olds and never have. She said I must be mistaken about anyone having told me they did.
Their website explicitly says that they do accounts for 15-18 year olds with debit cards. Scott checked last night when we got home. So we're now trying to figure out how to register a complaint. I have the woman's card, so we know her name.
We were going to follow up today, but I'm sufficiently sick with this headache that I'm barely functional.
