Waves,

I appreciate problem solving. I was not venting.
I do feel stuck. My only option if I have to go to an emergency plan is to cancel (or not show for) the mammo.

Work buddy has advised me to be at meetings that are near our yearly evaluations in the next month or so.


I have about 45 dollars in the bank I use. --- Hubby and I have a stupid separate money system that takes too long to explain. I do not have money for cabs until pay tomorrow / Friday.


The mammo place is close to my home and an uncomplicated drive, but if I am not comfortable about driving I will cancel.


I really feel that I could take off work Friday to give my body and brain a rest but I cannot see myself sleeping whether I am home or not. I am starting to get a little confused in my thinking because I have a hard time believing that I am going to sleep tonight.
I might never sleep again.

Mari, you will sleep again get the test behind you or reschedule, they have people reschedule all of the time. so don't worry about that.
I agree call in sick on friday and have buddy update you later.
I am sorry that you could not get back to sleep. I slept horribly last night, took extra klonipin after not sleeping for 2 1/2 hours then still did not sleep, maybe got 3 hours....yawn
((((HUGS))))

Hi, Bizi,
Thanks
I have rescheduled the mammo several times. My mammo prescription is only good for six months. If I miss the appointment I will have to deal with the gyn/ob's office to get another 'script and I cannot deal with that.
In other words, I will wait until my regular yearly appointment at the end of the summer to get another 'script for the mammo -- thus putting off the test the way I did the year before and year before that.

I am ok to drive.
I would rather try napping instead.

hope your day went well, or at least manageably.
 
Dear Mari

i am glad to hear you felt ok to drive. i understand about rescheduling and it sounds like that mammo needed to take priority. i hope you got that done and that the rest of the day went ok at work, or that you called in and napped.

i guarantee you WILL sleep again. it's just inevitable.

(((hugs)))

~ waves ~ who has been needing excessive sleep and unable to stay awake at times. i bet if we could pool our sleep right now and take equal parts, we'd both be better off! :D:rolleyes:;)

HI,

I was not ok to drive home from the mammo place. I had to keep myself from dozing off.

The mammo place freaking me out. It had three or four stations. First I had intake here. Then intake again here. . . . .
The staff talked too fast, gave more than one instruction at a time,
I said something to that effect to the last two people I dealt with. They were slightly more attentive but still spoke too fast for me to understand.


I have not gone to bed yet.

I'm so sorry you had so much trouble with the Mammo people.


Make sure you keep letting them know.

Dear Mari

i am glad you got the mammogram over with. sorry it was such a rotten experience. i hate dealing with that kind of bureaucracy - pay one place, intake another, checkin another... sheez. and i *hate* when they rapidfire instructions at me without stopping to breathe - prolly to them it's same ol' same ol' so and they become more "efficient" at rolling it off the tongue. it was like that at the clinic where the cardio is.

to me - or anyone unfamiliar with their stupid process - it sounds like gibberish, which makes it very inefficient because i must ask them to repeat things multiple times, or even ask pointed questions separately, so as to force them to break up their speech-stream. frustrating to say the least. and sometimes i get very anxious and feel really awkward.

sometimes i wish they would talk to me like a really old lady. perhaps we should disguise ourselves as old ladies (Peter Sellers/Jacques Clouseau style) when we go to these places. :D

anyway, your test is done now! good job! (and... whew!) :)


Dear Bizi and Mari

i am glad to hear you are BOTH home safe after feeling woozy at the wheel. i hope you both get rest tonight.

(((hugs))) and snoozy-vibes :Zzzz:

Dmom3005 01-26-2012 09:31 PM

Dear Bizi and Mari,

And for that fact everyone else too:

Glad you got home safely tonight. Sweet dreams to all.
Or just good sleep.

Tired. Crying.
 
Hi,
I took personal day on Friday to get a break from work.

I did not catch up on any sleep. Right now I am sleepy and crying. :(


. . . . trying to figure out if I should try to sleep now.. . . .the ramifications are that sleeping now might throw off my sleep clock more than it already is.

On the other hand, I really need sleep. When I wake up I MIGHT be productive for two or three hours and complete the two projects I need for Monday.

Confused. :confused:
