Grown Ups

[smishingtrip]

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only grown up in this house. Mike has a procedure at the hospital tomorrow morning but is flat out refusing to do any of the prep. He hasn't been taking the medicine they told him to, he's only fasted half the amount of time he's supposed to, and now he's gone to bed saying he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. I get that this is an inconvenient and uncomfortable procedure but it's necessary. And if he just sucked it up and drank the goddamn shit than it'd be done with and he could go in knowing he was prepared. As it is, I'm convinced that they're going to start the procedure only to find he hasn't done the prep and send him home and reschedule. And then he'll have to go through this ALL OVER AGAIN. This is the second time in two years he's had to go in, too. Last year he flat out refused, didn't phone to cancel, just didn't show up. I was determined that he'd be an adult about it this time, but apparently he just won't listen to me. This is a procedure that's only supposed to happen once every five years or so! It looks like he might have to do one EVERY YEAR if he keeps messing things up!

Goddamnit. I'm so pissed off because I booked time off work to take him to the hospital, I'm the one that is trying to make sure he meets all the prep requirements. I could have had a full week of shifts this week, but I had to give one up to make sure that he gets there and back all right. And he's more worried that there's a show he wants to see tomorrow night. He's not willing to give up going to Metalfest for his health, and that's just not all right with me. But he won't listen to me, and I'm too pissed off to be patient with his stubbornness.

Fuck.
