Jan. 7th, 2021 02:04 pmYesterday was long.
I started work at 3 AM so I could be on the phone to try and get Dad antibiotics for pneumonia.
I told my team lead that I started early. I did not tell her how early, but if she has a brain she can see the time stamps on the reports I created. The minute I am connected with a nurse, after an hour on hold, I get a group instant message ...even though my message states I am not available. Oi.
Turns out they would not prescribe an antibiotic over the phone. Grrrr... I did get an appointment for 2 PM.
We get the place at 2... they dont want me to go in, but I do anyway because Dad wont tell them anything. We were there over 4 hours. The NP that looked him was surly and insulting at first... I was in no mood. Dad could not answer the questions she asked. I finally asked if she was satisfied and that I was here to answer the questions he can't. Thats what a care giver does. We eventually came to an understanding... sigh. They gave him a test try and took blood. His lungs are good. No sign of pneumonia. The shortness of breath is because of Covid. His white blood cell count is very low, but he is doing okay. I asked if there was anything we should be doing. She said no...and then added that I shouldn't sleep with him until he is over all symptoms. Umm... you seem to have missed that Im the daughter, not the wife. My Mother would have decked you for being snotty when we first met. Oi.
When come home I wanted to order contactless deliver from the sub shop close by, but they were closed as an employee had Covid. Sad. We opted for contactless delivery Chinese food. It was yummy...and then the phone kept ringing. My sister, my aunt, my cousins... My head hurt.
Oh and I got a positive test result yesterday. Not surprised.
Today I feel very tired. The last few days have been stressed and I am working and taking care of someone... sigh. After breakfast I lost my sense of smell. I know it was after breakfast as my left over chinese food smelled good =) I noticed I could not smell my rosemary plant that I keep by the fridge. I sprayed perfume on my hand and could not smell it. Right now I can just make out the smell of the perfume. A few hours of no smell wasn't too bad.
Right now I have a bit of a head ache and want a nap.
