My Mom hadn’t been feeling well for a few days and I stopped by on Friday to bring her some cold meds and some soup. Last night I got a call from her, she sounded awful! She asked if I would come and take her to the ER because she had a really bad ear ache. I of course went right over, got her and took her in. She kept telling me to “drive faster!” It was a Saturday night and pouring down rain. I found the whole thing a little funny. I can’t tell you how many times she had to rush me to the ER on a Saturday night in pouring rain because I had an ear infection.
Once we got in the back they started to check her in. They asked if she had med allergies and said they have noted in her file that she is allergic to Vicodin. She said “No I’m not. If you would like to just hand me some now I would gladly take it!” My poor mom, she was in SO much pain. I really don’t do well with seeing her like that; it gave me a total anxiety attack. Next they were having a hard time taking her blood pressure and they asked if they could take it on her lower arm. She said “At this point I don’t care if you have to saw my arm off as long as you give me something to make my ear stop hurting.” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud to that one!
Turns out that she did in fact have a double ear infection and is now feeling much better. Thank goodness for Vicodin! Oh, my crazy weekend!
