Today, I must say, I experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. My day started at 5:00 in the morning with a nurse telling me not to allow HaHa any food or drink because they wanted to give her a CAT scan in a few hours. I did not know why they wanted to perform this test, but it was so early that I simply went back to sleep. At 7:30, a new doctor came in to talk to me about the scan. I asked a few questions, and found out they had felt a rather large lump in the back of HaHa's throat. They had taken an x-ray, but it was inconclusive.
At any rate, the following 4 hours of not letting HaHa drink or eat while we were waiting for our pediatrician, the attendings, and the radiologist to decide whether or not a CAT scan was warranted, were a series of low moments. I won't even get into the fact that this whole ordeal could probably been avoided if HaHa's doctors listened to us more carefully, and didn't misdiagnose her in the first place (but that's another very long story).Now the highs. HaHa did NOT get a CAT scan, we were discharged, and I got to celebrate my fabulous friend Jaime's birthday! Even though I was exhausted, I would not have missed the chance to celebrate this amazing woman! She really is the best! Her party was also the best and I got to dance and revel in the glorious company of humanity!
Another low: Seeing a limping raccoon with a missing tail run down my friend's block.
Another high: Richard and HaHa were awake when I got home at 1:00 a.m.!
Outfit:
Yesterday Richard brought a few jackets for me to wear so that I could avoid a repeat.
Shirt: Emma & Sam (same as yesterday).
Shoes: American eagle.
Jacket: Goodwill.
For Jaime's party I decided to go all out with my leisure suit madness. After all, it was a special occasion!
Suit: Goodwill.
Shoes: Patricia Field for Payless. I got these bad boys for 12 bucks!
