JusJoJan24 the 30th – My eyes!

35 Comments

This post is the last of my regular Just Jot it January 2024 efforts, and it’s an effort…

When I chose the word “calendar” for today’s prompt, there was no way I could have anticipated how I was going to use it.

Although, I think I’ve been here before now … at least once.

Where is here?

Here is sleep deprived. Here is a mother who stayed up all night last night with her son in the emergency room. You’ve heard this song before, right?

Anyhoo, he wasn’t admitted to hospital this time, and we were in and out of there in just ten short hours! That might be close to a record.

BUT! It did mean I missed something important. To me, at least.

I made an appointment to get my eyes checked in December—the appointment was for January 11th. A few days before that, the office called and told me the doctor wouldn’t be in, so she gave me another appointment. Guess for when?

So I called this morning from the emergency room to let them know I had to cancel the appointment this time.

I have another scheduled for February 15th. Three times lucky.

But oh, my poor wall calendar and all the covered up appointments!

This exhausted post is part of Just Jot it January! Want to join in? Just click here to get to the prompt and drop your link. It’s fun!

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in!

    Looking at some old posts, Linda! Spending 10 hours in the emergency room is definitely not a nice way to spend time! It was good you and Alex got to go home after the 10 hours, though. X

    That sounds awful to have to wait that long. Hope your son is okay and all is better today.

    hope all is well again. strangely, my niece spent a few hours in A&E yesterday too, when her daughter face planted in the school playground. She’s fine, although the bruises will take a while to fade

    Sorry for the ER visit and missing a hard earned appointment. Hope your son is feeling better and at least the next appointment will be kept. Hugs for scratched out calendar messes!

    Oh my. I hope your son (and you) are doing better by now. ER visits are scary and exhausting.

      We’ve spent so much time in the ER, half of the nurses recognize my son. And he loves to flirt with them. But exhausting it is. He still has the chest pain, but at least I’m not as worried about it. And I’ve slept. Thanks for asking!
