Wednesdays are great for Wordless and Wordful posts, but we decided to go a different route and create our own Wednesday fun. We figured what the hell. That’s how we started What The Hell Wednesday. <\/strong>Who are we kidding? That’s pretty much how we decide on almost everything. If you want to play along, grab our button on the sidebar, link up to us in your post and don’t forget to sign in to McLinky below. Really, what the hell?<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Please Note, Elle’s life has been too hectic today for her to put up her WTH’s, and believe me, she has some!!\u00a0 She will be back next week…don’t worry!!**\u00a0 For now, enjoy my What the Hell’s!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, so ALL my What The Hell’s<\/strong>will be about Doctor’s today, sorry, but it’s been quite a long week and it’s only Wednesday!!\u00a0 Okay, so I know I wrote a few Random Tuesday Thoughts about the ER, but here’s the back story.\u00a0 I brought Thing 2 to the ER Saturday night because he had gotten hit helmet to helmet in Saturday morning’s game.\u00a0 He started to feel lethargic and just looked sick.\u00a0 I brought him to the ER and he had a temperature of 103. something!\u00a0 What The Hell<\/strong>?\u00a0 So they do blood work (and totally miss his vein WTH<\/strong>??), an IV, urinalysis, Chest X-ray<\/strong> and a Cat Scan of his head.\u00a0 All comes back normal other than the blood work that shows he’s fighting off some sort of virus.\u00a0 So the ER Doctor says to me, “we really need to do a spinal tap to rule out Spinal Meningitis.”<\/em>\u00a0 WHAT THE HELL<\/strong>???\u00a0 I think Thing 2 said WTH<\/strong> too!\u00a0 He was sitting in the bed shaking his head back and forth as the Doctor described sticking a big ass needle into his little spine.\u00a0 Yeah, I don’t frickin’ think so!\u00a0 The Doctor says, “well I can’t rule that out without testing him for that, you know kids die from that.”<\/em>\u00a0 Yeah I know, but I REALLY<\/em><\/strong> don’t think that my child who is currently playing ISPY with me and laughing because he had a hard time peeing in a cup has Bacterial Meningitis!!\u00a0 So NO,<\/span> no spinal tap for him.<\/p>\n

We left the hospital Saturday night and they told me to give him Tylenol and Advil for the fever.\u00a0 He felt fine, and the fever would come and go.\u00a0 One day he’d have one, the next it would be gone.\u00a0 So I sent him to school, the kid was off the wall and acted normal.\u00a0 Sooooo, today his PCP calls me twice.\u00a0 I call her back and she says, “Oh I just wanted to see what medication he was put on for Pneumonia.”<\/em>\u00a0 What The Hell<\/strong>?\u00a0 Pneumonia??\u00a0 I was NEVER<\/em><\/strong> told he had that!!!\u00a0 Notice how in the previous sentence I said, “chest x-ray.”<\/strong> Now he’s on antibiotics, and has to stay home from school.\u00a0 Of course I got the, “You’re a bad Mom for sending him to school with Pneumonia look”.<\/em>\u00a0 Hey, I need <\/em><\/strong>to go to work, and his fever kept going away!!\u00a0 Not that I told him not to tell anyone that he had a fever or anything……<\/em><\/p>\n

On Tuesday I had to go see the Surgeon for my hernia.\u00a0 First off I get there 20 minutes early like she told me to.\u00a0 I go to pay my Co-pay and she tells me it’s $40.00 not $15.00!\u00a0 What the Hell<\/strong>????\u00a0 Apparently I’ve never gone to a specialist before because I’ve never paid more than $15.00!!\u00a0 I then proceed to wait, and wait, and wait, and WAAAAAAIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!<\/em><\/strong>!\u00a0 I’m listening to waiting room classical music and I’m getting more and more mad.\u00a0 I’m so glad I got here 20 minutes early so that I could listen to this music for almost an hour as opposed to 35 minutes!!\u00a0 FINALLY<\/strong><\/em> I get called into the room and the woman says, “there is a young man shadowing the doctor today, do you mind if he watches?”<\/em>\u00a0 What the Hell<\/strong>???\u00a0 Sure, why the hell not??\u00a0 Why not bring in a bunch of people to look at my pelvic region, no big deal right????\u00a0 Of course I frickin’ mind!!!\u00a0 No, I don’t need some “Young Man”<\/em> watching!!\u00a0 I don’t know if he was an intern or just some random young man, but he wasn’t going to come in when I had to pull my pants down…just sayin’<\/em><\/p>\n
