Heck, I don't even know what to title this thread :)
My day, by AOIIalum.
Went to the Dr. today about the PITA heel spur. Good news is that we're going with conservative treatment, anti-inflammatory meds and referral to some shoe store down in Columbus, and a follow-up appointment next month.
Now, while I'm waiting in the exam room, teenager #2 called in tears because of a sore throat. Those of you who know teenager #2 know that's not normal operating procedure for him! Got him an appointment for a strep culture a couple of hours later and as expected, it's strep. RX filled, meds taken, and he's zoned out on the couch. All is calm.
Nope! Nine yr old brother comes in just before his 9:30pm bedtime complaining that his head itches. Now, he's fought a haircut since about September, so it's pretty long for him anyway. So, by 10:15pm he's the sad new owner of a head shaved down to 3/8", a comb out and scalp massage and shampoo by mom (oh, the insult! the embarassment!) Luckily, I think it looks more like dry scalp/ezcema vs. my first instinct when he said his head itched (whew!)
Just in case, I completely stripped his bedroom of dirty laundry, bedlinens and his stuffed buddies; vacuumed everything including the mattress, and issued him two brand new pillows before finally saying good night. Now I'm still up at 12:45 doing laundry, again, just in case. Please keep your fingers crossed that when I look at his head in daylight tomorrow morning that I just overreacted and at least he got a haircut and cleaned room out of my descent into mommy-panic-mode!
I hope you ALL had better days than mine and thanks so much for putting up with my ramblings.
