*sorry I posted this in the wrong forum. I thought I was in V/W*
Nowee woke up with a swollen wrist, and he won't use his arm. Let me back up a little. Saturday afternoon, Nowee walked in front of a football. It was thrown pretty hard, and he got hit in the wrist. He screamed like I never saw him scream, and DH and I comforted him, and it just swelled up like a welt, so we didn't think it was broken. It's been bugging him all weekend, and this morning it was sore. So I call DH at work and DH tells me to make a Dr. appointment (because Urgent Care is too expensive), and send him to school anyway. Because of office hours, I couldn't make the apoointment until after I put the boys on the bus. I make the appointment for 9:15 this morning, then I call the school, then wait for DH to call me back. Here's what steams me. DH can't do that appointment, so he calls the Dr. back and reschedules for Wednesday afternoon!! I said Nowee's wrist is possibly broken, and he has to wait for 2 1/2 days? That's not right! You see, DH has the car, and can't (won't) leave, not even for 1/2 hour to bring me the car. And he says, "what am I supposed to do?" We both know he won't lose his job over it, so what's his problem? A few minutes later he calls back, and asks me if I want him to take a PTO for this. He only has 5 left for the year, and because of a misunderstanding with his mom, he's not going with us on our Thanksgiving trip, so he can go for Christmas (she thought we were going down there for Christmas, so she took it off and can't change it. It will be at SIL, so she has to travel too). I don't want him to use up all his PTO's because I want him to see his mom, but frig man! You don't have to take a whole stinkin day off just to bring me the car!! Why does this kid have to suffer? I'd ask a friend, but the school is all the way across the valley, more than 10 miles. Plus DH has the credit cards, so how will I pay the Dr?
The whole stupid mess is partly his fault. He's the one that threw the errant football. It went askew,and Nowee was running by and got nailed. What was he thinking firing a football like that with all those kids around (there were 6)?
Heaven forbid I break a bone, because I'll just have to wait. Forget him, I'll just call an ambulance, and he can suck it up! Just so mad!!:mad::mad::mad:
