Hello Mr. Lupron....we meet again!!!!! And I already hate you!!!!!!!!!! After only 3 days of being on you, the headaches have already started.....ARGH!!!!!!!!!!
Now to back track. Hubs and I both took this past Thursday off to head to 'The Cape' because his sister rented a house for the week and his family was going to be down there. We both agreed to pack for 2 days and see what happens. Now the reason I have 'The Cape' like this is for a few reasons....one, I don't consider that town the Cape since it is before the bridge (will refrain from naming the town because I'm gonna bash the shit out of it), the town itself was straight up disgusting! Nothing about this town reminded me of the Cape ...AT ALL! When we pull up to the house, I immediately became overwhelmed as his whole family started to bum rush the car. After taking a few deep breathes I make my way out to get Bug, who was in need of a diaper change. I left hubs to unpack the car while I handled that.....with my MIL hovering over my shoulder. Again, take deep breathes.
The house.....oh the house, was gross! Before anyone thinks I'm little Miss Prissy Pants, you are wrong.....my favorite past times are hitting dive bars (because that is where you really have the most fun!) Okay back to the house - it was nasty! Not in a dirty/filthy way - just stunk and needed a gazillion updates! Hubs and I get ready to head down to the beach and my SIL was waiting for us. She told us she was very mislead on the house, that the beach was actually 2 streets away and not 1. Really? You're gonna go with that as your first complaint? That one? Not the fact that the second night there ya'll had no water and they had to drive down to fix it? Not that the house was in shambles and desperately needed a face lift? Huh...right on.
The walk to the beach was literally not even 1 minute long. The only nice thing about the beach....didn't get crowded. Spent the day down there and had lunch on the pier, which that was really good! Hubs, niece, Bug and I head back to the house around 4:30 to get showers done before the rest of the crew came back. The shower.....it would have been better if I filled the tub and took a bath. Pretty sure I still had shampoo in my hair when I got out - even my SIL was worried for me because of the amount of hair I have!
Hubs, SIL and her friend head out to go get lobsters/steamers for dinner while myself and my BIL head to get some beer. I had no words for what we saw when we were in there......well I do, trash! If the shower worked better, I probably would have taken another one when we got back to the house! We had a nice dinner and enjoyed some conversation before Bug decided she wasn't having the pack-n-play in this place. Took about an hour for her to finally realize we weren't coming back up to rescue her. Once she was out my MIL told us to all go out for a drink. Since I never go out, I took her up on that opportunity! Hubs and I debated changing but realized who cared what we looked liked. We waited for the other 3 to come out front for a bit until we couldn't take it anymore - we left.
Get to the bar and told him I just needed a stiff Bacardi and Diet! The rest of them met us and the night was fun - bar shut down at 11 and Hubs wanted to just have one more drink. Hubs, myself and my SIL best friend all went to the local bar for one more. Now, you know the scenes in movies where someone walks into the bar and everyone turns the heads and the music stops.....yup, that's what it felt like! HA I will say I've been in worse bars, to the point I've felt like I've needed a tetanus shot, but still, this one was up there!
The next morning we were up bright and early with Bug and took a walk around the town - only to confirm how disgusting the town really was! When we got back my FIL was still the only one up, this, on top of the shitty weather that was coming in from the hurricane, made up our minds that we were going home. Neither one of us wanted to have Bug suffer another night. Packed up and headed home.
Once home I noticed what I thought was heat rash from the day before was still there and she had a slight fever. Thinking it was from all 4 of her teeth coming down, we didn't think much of the fever.....until the next morning when the rash had spread to her face!
Off to the doctor's to have him tell us she has what he believes to be Roseola - nothing to be concerned about. Ran some errands that afternoon and spent the afternoon in Boston Sunday....wondering if everyone thought our kid had scabies. When we got home I went up to change out of my sundress and notice my whole torso is covered in a rash. WHAT IN THE FUCK?????? Hubs and I try to figure out what I ate that would cause this - what happens when I have an allergic reaction. Nothing, nothing I ate or drank was anything new. Take a benedryl and see what happens.
By Tuesday it was time for me to go to the doctor's to get my rash looked at - daycare called and said Bug needed to be picked up because her temp was 101.5, so hubs went to get her and bring her to the doc. I met them after my appointment only to find out I had to take her to get blood work done. Um, nope, no I don't. My heart broke into a million pieces when I opened the back door and saw her so lethargic and her body temp was so hot! I cried pretty much the whole way to the hospital because I just wanted her better, wanted to know what was going on, and truthfully didn't want to bring her to get blood work!
We get registered with the ER department and head to lab - she wouldn't leave my chest. I was trying everything I could to make her giggle and succeeded once. Door opens and they call her name....ugh, I'm not ready to do this. Off we go. Once in the room they inform me I have to sit with her in the blood sucker chair.....awesome! After they find a good vein, in her hand, I warn them that she is very strong - so we all clamp down a little tighter. I'm not sure if Bug was just done with everyone poking and prodding her or was hitting a drug como....but that little shit made one little 'eh' sound and then was falling asleep on me as they were sucking her blood out! PHEW............
Spent the day home with her yesterday and she seemed to be doing better, but still clingy which made getting work done a little difficult. Once she was down, I notice that my rash has really spread to my legs/arms. Come ON! I decided to take a shower to see if it was maybe from the lotion I used that morning - totally reaching, as I knew that wasn't the case. Back to the doctor's I went.......had a NP this time who tried telling me it was heat rash.....I'm sorry swan, I haven't been in the sun for a long period of time since LAST Thursday. Try again. They believe it's contact dermatitis - not sure what from since I haven't used anything different (soaps, lotions, detergents) so who the hell knows what is happening with me right now.
Hubs brought Bug to daycare and told me once he went in to the other room, 'all the little faces had spots on them.' Perfect.....just perfect.
