Oh my gosh, this anti nausea medicine is a life savor!! I've done two loads of laundry, vacuumed and just put a batch of banana bread in the oven. I feel alive again!!!!
Got in a run this morning, now relaxing for a few before returning heading in for a shift at the hospital from 12-8. I'm not really feeling it, but at least it is only 8 hours. I think I have figured out at least part of the reason my formerly great sleeper has been waking up so much the past week. I finally got a good look in her mouth last night and her left front tooth popped through a few days ago. It look like the eye tooth came in a day ago, and her other front tooth is just barely through the gum. I also think her other eye tooth is about to come in. So basically 4 teeth at once. At least I'm telling myself this is the reason for crappy sleep.
I'm nearly 35 years old and wearing a romper at work right now. It's going to be 1,000 degrees today so everyone can just deal with it. I just wish this thing had crotch snaps like Dani's rompers...
OK, so MH had a vasectomy back in October. He's had constant pain varying from 5-8 ever since. This is massively affecting our lives. He is grumpy and irritable and is drinking to dull the pain. He's not the same guy that he used to be
He went back to the first dr who wanted to remove part of his balls, then MH did some research and found a clinic in a major city 2hrs from us who specialize in post vasectomy pain. He went there for a bunch of tests and eventually the dr wanted to do a full reversal. MH convinced him to try doing a revision to change his V from a "closed" to an "open" which usually fixes the pain for about 50% of the people who have post V pain. MH really doesn't want a reversal!!! but if this revision doesn't work then he will have to get one. The pain seems to be caused by the pressure of the sperm building up against the closed vas tube. By opening the one side, the sperm will be released into the bloodstream and the pressure relieved. This sometimes can cause autoimmune issues, so fingers crossed that doesn't happen.
The major issue he's had has been with the drs receptionist Monique (M). M has been jerking him around, she refuses to send him any documents or instructions via email (she says she's too busy to email patients) and she changes her story constantly. M told him that none of this would be covered by OHIP, but when MH asked for a preapproval form and amount so he could send it into our insurance she didn't know how much it would be and couldn't give him any documents. So MH called OHIP and found out that yes it is covered. M also tried to tell him they were too busy to book him in for another 6-8 months. There were a bunch of other issues with M and MH was trying to get her to only communicate through email because she contradicted herself constantly and would blame MH, she refused though and MH got sick of it so started basically calling her out and emailing the Drs at the clinic that he didn't have any of the right instructions or documents.
Eventually the dr got MH into another clinic who could do the revision quicker (6 weeks). When MH called that clinic the first time the receptionist was nice and said that she would have to call clinic #1 to get the info about his surgery. The second time and after he spoke to her, she became a real bitch, said she refused to email him and basically started dicking him around too. MH is pretty sure that M said something to her about him.
MH is kind and considerate and an overall fantastic guy, but he sometimes doesn't let things go when it's in his best interest. Not that I think he was in the wrong at all, I was witness to a lot of the conversations and M is terrible at her job and seems to be the type of person that loves having the power to jerk people around, I just think it probably would have been best for him in this case to just smile and nod and kiss her ass rather than call her out.
So they told him he was supposed to be booked at clinic #2 for today, but the clinic isn't sure if the surgery can go through because OHIP hasn't replied with their approval. MH called last week and left a VM saying that we would pay cash for the surgery and sort out the details with OHIP later since this is so urgent. The clinic was on vacation until yesterday. Yesterday he spoke to the receptionist and confirmed that he was good to go for today and he specifically asked if there was any prep instructions (there was a huge list the first time). The receptionist said, no prep needed.
Today, he went there, to the wrong building (the receptionist told him the wrong one) and when he got in and just before surgery the dr asked if he had taken any drugs this week and MH said advil yesterday. So the dr said they can't do it today because of the advil :@
So they are able to get him in Tuesday now, but I'm so fucking angry about the whole thing. It's ridiculous that he's been in pain for 8 months now and we've been waiting to have this small little procedure done (15min and $600). I can't get over these receptionists that are intentionally fucking with him, like WTAF? How do these people behave like this and still have jobs?
MH is a manager and (literally) has 8-20 meetings a day (he's often double/triple booked), it's very difficult for him to take time off on short notice and he's had to rearrange a lot just to get in today.
This is one of those situations where I am cursing public health care, I feel like if there were private clinics, we could just go pay someone to do it and we'd be in right away.
Anyways there is the long version of what we have been dealing with. I'm really hoping this surgery fixes his pain, I don't know what we are going to do if he gets a reversal, I might have to get my tubes tied then :/
txshep - I'll admit it, I hate adult rompers, but to each their own. MH once said they only make sense if they have crotch snaps.
UGH. Local rape case got an all-male jury. First day of the trial was yesterday, and scumbag lawyer said the girl's pushing away and saying she didn't trust the guy and didn't want to go farther with someone who wasn't a boyfriend doesn't mean "no," and COULD mean "try harder." And the dude also claims this is how his previous relationships started, so what's the big deal?
My god I hate dealing with bridesmaids! These bitches are gearing up for a trip to west palm beach or Hollywood fl in October. I'm all in right, a long weekend away by myself (!!!!!! ) then everyone starts questioning how much it's going to cost. I had to slap them back into reality. You can't fly and stay anywhere remotely nice for less than $500 on the cheap side, it's impossible. So we are thinking finger lakes and wineries because we can drive there. I am still on with that. I am just not ok with people putting out 1000 ideas without even thinking of the logistics. I got totally excited for about an hour for nothing. Lol.
Ugh, I'm still sick with this sinus head cold thing. I just finished up my second round of antibiotics and it seems my mastitis is finally gone. Yay for that, but I have yet another yeast infection. Every single time I take antibiotics it happens :/
Can't you catch a freaking break!!!!!
ETA: I just read your husband story and I feel so angry for you.
I also think that public care is awful sometime. We do have access to a couple of private clinics for some things but then insurances don't cover. Uh.

I love adult rompers and wish they fit me. Unfortunately the amount of fabric my boobs take up always results in a camel toe at the crotch. It's so sad.
I once tried a romper at H&M and I couldn't even stand straight
Camel toe city: Population- This 5'10 lady with a long torso

I'm going to sound really pessimistic here, but I feel like this is my whole life.
I guess a million small things are better than a serious illness, but still it's just non stop

I'm only 5'5 and still had to get a "tall" sized one from Old Navy. Maybe I have a tall person's torso or something, but the regular length ones were basically inside of my ass when I tried them on.
Guise my big girl used the potty three times yesterday and once today ! I'm soooo proud of her . She's keeping her pull ups dry abs telling me when she needs to go . Shes growing too quick !

tsmith312 I've noticed Harper has a lot of monogrammed clothes. Is that a southern thing? I've never seen that before. Does that limit hand me down potential between the girls, or can you re-monogram?

I think it's a southern thing ? I myself have a monogram fetish . BUT my MIL has an embroidery shop so we are her practice and we get everything done for free . It does limit the hand me down part of it , but there's a lot of monogram resell pages on FB and you can take the stitching out and re-do if necessary .
ugotstarbucked, welcome back to the red tent. Wine helps.
Oy. SIL is doing her gender reveal tomorrow, a family and friends gathering, and we'd originally said our arrival would be dependent on A's naps, so don't wait for us. Now MH is basically saying to hell with naps, because SIL is disappointed that the 'people she wanted there aren't coming.' AKA her sorority sisters (rest of the fam will be there). While I feel bad her friends aren't coming, I'm rather annoyed that apparently we're not in the wanted group. Ahem. Really makes me want to screw ourselves over in the sleep department, too. /sarcasm. I put my foot down.
We'll have the car ready to go, so when A wakes up from her afternoon nap, we'll change her, throw her in the car, and feed her on the way. It's the best we can do. ILs should get used to the Nap Gods ruling things for awhile.
