I know the drill...there isnt a blanket in site! so I kept on my sweat pants, socksa nd slippers....put on that gown and put on my huge blanket/coat and went back to sleep....now it's about 5:30am and a dude nurse walks in, starts asking the tough questions (mind you it KILLS to talk at all)...he then gets jovial,,, "hey Im trying to stay awake so can we talk?" again...are ya shittin me? Dude my throat feels like razor are having sex in my throat every time I speak! so yeh he gets the message.....he leaves telling me the big lie....DR WILL BE RITE IN....yeh bullshit......try 6:45AM the Dr gets in to see me....I had been shivering for fuckin hours!...he finally checks my ears (ouch) then just about gags me trying to see down my throat.....he's like
why did you wait so long for this?...um well...how does no insurance grab ya? single mom of 3 kids....shall I go on?...here comes the cool part....he then tells me he wont charge me a Dr's fee but he has no control over the Hospital bill....so even though it seems like not much;;hey it's SOMETHING to help me out....he then gets me on an IV with fluids, Rx and a Steroid to get that swelling down) then he scampers off....dude nurse is back....finds the vein fast thank god....the fluids are flowin....ahh magic in a tube coursing thru my veins......little by little I literally feel my throat lessen it's eerie hold it had over me.....it still hurts to swallow but not even at ALL like it had prior to going in.....so now Im on a quest for the cheapest pharmacy for the meds.."Jaded" said WallMart so Im gonna give them a shot....I will let you know what I owe when my bill comes in on this one....all i can say is....HELLO PAYMENT PLAN.....
