Monday off !!!!

So I worked this last Saturday and could not wait to get out to spend some time with my niece. We had a great time! Went out to eat and shopped, talked and laughed. It was great! I had yesterday off to get some things done. I had to go sign the contract and drop off the deposit to the hall for Dom's party and get some things done for my mom's renewal of her Medicaid. So I slept in a little bit and then got up did my normal morning things. I get into the shower and the dr told me that I need to start covering my ears when I shower because of the ear infections I have been getting. Well, that is harder than what you would think. I bought those ear plugs and they just don't work they block all the water in LOL. I did, however, finally figure it out this morning. I get out of the shower the house is all quiet cuz everyone is gone and I am loving it! I started putting on my make up and my cell phone rings. It is my step-daugther. Now she is not my husband's daugther he just raised her from the time she was 2 so he is the only dad she knows. She wants me to take her to the drs at 12:30. So I agree I didn't want to but I was not going to say no. Nick was just at the ER with her on Saturday night for like 5 hours. She fell at work last week on Wednesday and got a kincusion (lol I don't know how to spell that). So her pain was still really bad.

Lets start with some history she is 32 years old and just recently moved out of her mom's house again. She has been married in her early 20's and divorced. Has moved in and out of her mom's house several times over the years never really making it on her own. She has always had money issues and was the only child so she was pretty spoiled and still is. When Nick and I got together he was still paying her car payment and cell phone bill. She was 26! I moved out once and never went back home. My parents would never have paid for my things. They would of told me if you can't afford it then don't get it LOL. So I bit my tongue because afterall it was his money that was paying it. He eventually stopped when he realized it was not appreciated. She then went out of his life for a few years and has come back just in the last 2 years. I love her personality. She is funny and I enjoy being around her. I have taken her in like she was my own. The thing with it is there is always something wrong with her. 2 years ago she hurt her back pretty bad and was out of work for 3 months. Last winter she had some normal sicknesses that you get in the winter. Last spring she had a tooth implant done. She ended up getting really sick from it and had it removed. I went with her to the ER like 4 times before she had it removed. The one night we were in there and they were trying to control her pain. They gave her dilaudid (spelling?) it wasn't working. So she asked the nurse if she could have more so they ended up giving her 5 injections of it. The nurse looked at me and said we cannot give her anymore because when people come in with injuries from a car accident we give them 1 shot and it works she has had 5. I didn't think much of it at the time. She ended up back at the ER like 5 more times and then they admitted her because it seemed she had got a bad sinus infection from the implant. She was put on a morphine drip. She got out of the hospital and went to an ENT he was trying to control her pain and could not so they decided to do sinus surgery as a last resort. She ended up having that done and was still in pain for months after the fact. So the summer went on and she ended up in the ER again because she fell and hurt her back. I get a call again could I please come there because I comfort her so much. She lost her job in November got a new one right way and in December she got walking pneomonia and was off work until the end of January. She was at the drs office like almost every other day during this time for different pain meds because she was in so much pain. So lets recap the events that happened on Saturday when Nick to her to the ER. She wanted dilaudid and they would not give it to her. They did a cat scan and everything looked normal. They could not understand why she was still having issues. So then ended up giving her Vicadin and a injection of dilaudid. So Sunday she said she went to Target and walked around for what seemed like 20 minutes and she was really in there for 3 hours. She said she gets confused now. We go to the drs yesterday and the dr says have you been taking the dilaudid I gave you. The dr had given her a prescription for 10 pills on Friday which I did not know. She tells the dr that her roomate flushed them down the toilet. She wanted to know if she could have more. When we walked into the drs she acted all disoriented. The dr said I can't just keep giving you narcotics. At this point, I am pissed! It hit me like a ton of bricks what her problem is. She wants the pills! So the dr leaves the room and comes back with a script for Demoral (spelling). We were in the drs office for like 2 1/2 hours. We leave and she immediately wants me to go to Walgreens on the corner which I did. She gets out of the car and walks in more normal than she had walked in the drs office. Now I am really pissed. So we then went to Wendy's to eat she said she could not hold food down for like 3 days. She ate and we went and got her prescription she took them in the car and half way home she said that she was wasted. Hmmm I am pretty sure that was the goal for the day. I was gonna go out in the hall and say something the dr but decided it was not my place. The dr ended up telling her that if that does not help then she will admit her for a morphine drip to control the pain. This girl did not look like she was in that much pain. I also forgot to mention that in January she was seen for anxiety issues and depression. She then was also put on several medicines. On the way home she says don't say anything to her roommate about anything she said. So, in other words, don't talk about him flushing the pills down the toilet because that probably never happened! So she wandered around Target that long and she is confused because she is wasted! When she is ok she does drink alot. So I finally got home yesterday at like 4:00 and told Nick I will never do that again. I told him my suspicions and he said he was kinda thinking that on Saturday night. I want to say something to her but will it even do any good. Lets not even talk about how much money we have given her in the last few months or the money her other family has given her during that time too. I just wish someone would pay my freggen bills. She has never asked for money but she will say things like I have not eaten in 2 days because I have no food in the apartment so what are you supposed to do let her starve? It is just annoying me right now.

Well, this post has taken all morning because I am working in between. It is now lunch time and Subway sounds yummy. So I am off to subway. Have a great day all.
