My Life needs Urgent Care

So I went to Urgent Care. Big surprise I know. So let me just brief you on why I went to begin with. I had been feeling sick since the Friday after Thanksgiving. I got better though Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and then I relapsed and got sick again on Wednesday. My mom thought I had a stomach bug, so I went to Urgent Care. Turns out I've got an inflamed intestine! YAY!


And here begins my stupid long day filled with stupid people.

FIRST OFF, I had to survive TWO classes with my stomach a mess while feeling like I was going to barf and poop all at once. It was a nightmare.


Then at Urgent Care, after they figured out what was wrong with me. The Doctor went to write down my prescription and do all her doctor duties. So the nurse came in to give me my anti nausea meds. She gave me a glass of water put the little tablet in my hand (looked like Claritin) and told me I had to wait 15 min after I took it before I could be discharged. So I'm like chill and I pop it back no biggie it was a tiny pill.


5 minutes later I HATE LIFE. I'M F'IN NAUSEOUS. So the doctor comes in all sweet and asks how I'm doing and I go TERRIBLE I'M MORE NAUSEOUS THAN BEFORE, as I'm holding a barf bag near my face and trying to breath in and out. And then she looks confused and worried and goes "you put it under your tongue right?" and I look at her like "wut" and she responds "you didn't swallow it did you?!" OF COURSE I SWALLOWED IT WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO! So I politely tell her yeah what was I supposed to do and she then tells me oh my gosh you were supposed to put it under your tongue and let it dissolve, swallowing it will just make you more nauseous. YEAH FIGURED THAT ONE OUT THANKS. So she goes to scold the nurse and profusely apologizes and says the nurse is new so I'm like ok sure fine whatever not like I haven't been nauseous the past couple days I can get through it. And then the nurse walks in later and just goes

"Oh yeah sorry I forgot it was supposed to be dissolved"
I WANTED TO THROW UP ON HER

but my sweater was too cute so I didn't.

Fast forward to later that night I'm feeling great, I head over to CVS to pick up my meds that I now know how to use, thanks a lot. And the pharmacy tells me they can't give me any meds bc its backordered and they need permission from the doctor to change it. So I leave WITH NO MEDS. I call the Urgent Care tell them the sitch, they say okay we will call CVS. My friend does a solid for me and goes to try and pick up my meds two hours later NO MEDS. WTF YO. CVS says they haven't heard from the doctor. I'm like that's chill. Luckily I have my juices I picked up for my one day liquid diet.

But of course the day doesn't stop there!! So I tell my roommates "hey you can have our designated parking spot since I've been using it the past couple days I'll park on the street." So mind you I just came from a SEMI FORMAL holiday dinner. I'm in a dress and heels with a bag full of a shit ton of juices, and a tiny ass purse. I get to the street of the apartment and it starts POURING RAIN. and of course theres no parking on our street so I have to park a block away. Luckily I had a paid of sneakers in my car so I change my shoes. I grab my stuff I've got an umbrella and I'm just thinking "Just get home it'll be fine." I cross the street and what happens

I STEP IN A FUCKING PUDDLE. NOT ANY PUDDLE. ITS LIKE A FUCKING RAVINE.

My shoe completely SUBMERGES in water and I'm like perfect. So I keep trudging along with my heavy ass bag of juices. And I'm around the corner and my bag fucking breaks. MY JUICE BAG FUCKING BREAKS. So now my juices are on the floor luckily in tact. And I continue to make my journey home hugging my TEN bottles of juice. I get home and now I'm nauseous. GREAT.


UPDATE: I'm all better! Also CVS just called me to tell me my prescription was ready A WEEK LATER. It's fine. (it's not fine)
