Scary Rant: I had a second surgery of 3 to repair and remove some damaged bone (jaw) on 12/12/12. It went very well. It wasn’t nearly as painful as I thought it would be. Anyway 2 weeks ago I woke up feeling horrible. I took some advil and went about my day. The next morning my throat hurt and I had a bad headache and a fever. At 9:15 a.m.I called my doctors office and requested an antibiotic. At 4:30 his P.A. called me and said “We are not giving antibiotics until you have had symptoms for 7 days. I suggest you use something over the counter.” I said “ I seriously think I better come in because that advice is not good for me.” She said “You need to wait 7 days first.” I LOVE my doctor but this made me so mad. I cannot take over the counter meds. (high blood pressure and epilepsy) Anyway the next day lets just say I was sick. My husband called the docs office and said I am bringing my wife in. They put me in with the nurse practitioner, who I do like. She examines me and tells me I need to immediately, go to the emergency room. I did and it turned out I have an infection(in my glands) resulting from my surgery and if I had waited 7 days I would have been dead. That was SO scary and I am SO angry. I intend to bring this up with my doctor and will sadly most likely be looking for a new one. Sorry long fragment but jeeze you MUST be your own best health advocate these days. Have you ever had a close call like this?
My lil peanut granddaughter Avery Paige turns 7 on January 11th. Here she is just a few years ago…I loved this day!!!
How the heck do you get dogs to stop barking at every little thing?? I have tried everything, I think, except those zapping collars. Do they work??
I am thrilled that a book written by a Philadelphia area author (Matthew Quick) was made into a movie (Silver Linings Playbook), filmed in Philadelphia and the burbs (my area:) and stars a Philadelphia actor (Bradley Cooper)has been nominated for 8 Oscars. I am also excited that next week a review I have written for the book and movie will appear on the blog of someone I am a huge fan of….
I am trying to think of something different for my facebook author page. It is a boring page. But it would be nice if you liked it…any suggestions??
