Dear Diary Tuesday...

Well, today was almost as exciting as yesterday. I got into work at 6:00, left at 10:00 to go all the way back home and pick up the folks, drive them to my dad's follow up appointment, which went very well and they took off his bandages, took them back home and then drove back UP to work to finish out my day. Thank the Goddess for Toni who was a sweetheart and went and got me some lunch....not that I couldn't afford not to skip a few meals! As for the doctor's appointment, like I said, they took off his bandage and said his eye looks great....the big test will be my dad having to physically stare down at the floor and sleep on his stomach for 7 days so that the bubble will stay at the top of his eye and heal the hole. I almost started to cry when they took the bandage off because his eye is pure red from the blood and it looks like somebody punched him. The other downside is that now that there is no bandage, he is starting to feel a little discomfort. Fortunately, we can start with Tylenol and if it gets worse, we move to Lortabs.....so far the Tylenol has been enough.

Work was crazy and the biggest reason is because my supervisor FINALLY went out on maternity leave today. She has not had the baby yet, but we all have our fingers crossed it will be VERY soon...as her due date was on the 12th! So, with her being out, people suddenly become ill and need to leave, they stop thinking for themselves, you name it. However, I answered everything with a smile, had a few good laughs, and just took it all in stride. How is that possible, you ask? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that I have had a really tight chest and back for the last two weeks. Enough of a pain that I actually came home and considered going to the ER. I took a Benadryl, as I think it has a lot to do with my allergies, and a couple of Ibuprofens, as I think it also has to do with the way that I some times hunch over in my desk when I am feeling the weight of the world on me. I am going to try a couple of different things for a couple of days...no more soda or tea.....and see if that helps as well. If not, time to go see a doctor!!!!
