This and That--doctor, Sleep, Amazon, Ice Cream Cake

This will be short and sweet. I had the best experience ever at a doctor's office. Everyone was respectful, patient, and kind. You know how there might be one employee who is terse or does not like your questioning what they said, thinking you are opposing their words. Well, not here. 

My blood sugar dropped precipitously, and I was incoherent on some concepts. I insisted my gall bladder was below my waist and could not figure out what was wrong with what I said. The lab is usually not pleasant. I cannot sit on those molded plastic chairs that are off the floor for the ease of blood drawer. I do understand. But, I cannot sit with my feet off the floor and was ordered OUT of the wheelchair at one lab. Needless to say, I left without the blood draw. These women were so patient and kind, allowing me to sit on the walker. I cannot use the footrest on the high chairs because my knee will not bend back that far without pain. 

The woman who checked me out told me the same thing three times before I got it...lol. 

I have never had my blood sugar drop so during a doctor visit. They brought me all sorts of drinks that I would have had a reaction to, like throwing up or a possible allergic reaction. Of course, water is always good for me, but certainly won't help my blood sugar. Tommy ended up walking across grass, curbs and to a parking lot to get to a fountain drink. I was grateful. We brought nothing in the car as usual since we were less than five minutes from home. I learned my lesson! Bring juice and crackers everywhere. We usually do. 

My son knew I could not stand root beer or Dr. Pepper. When he bought a drink at the skating rink, he bought one or the other, knowing I could not drink it. I asked for a sip and had to spit it in the trash. Little stinker. So, I never asked for a sip of his drink again. Or, I asked first as to what he bought. 

After all this, for some reason I could not sleep Wednesday night. I usually just lie there, only turning to the other side occasionally. Wednesday, I tossed and turned and thrashed around and only slept for about two hours. Once, I had to get out of bed to unloosen my panties from their wedgie-hold on me. I cannot ever remember that happening. I was miserable all night long. 

Today, I received a mystery Amazon order. It was a mystery as to why I got what I did and why I did not get other items. I order one COQ10 and got two. One bottle was missing the plastic top. Both were very hot. Tommy had me order more needles for his insulin. I ordered five and got one box. 

Plus, there is no way to get anyone in the US, at least not after five o'clock. Every agent that spoke another language and English was not their native language was not intelligible. They also did not understand the words I spoke and mistook what I said. I am very unhappy with Amazon right now. 

Plus, I was told last week I had to go to UPS to return an order. Not doing that. 

I have decided I will not buy an ice cream cake of any size. I will bake brownies and have ice cream. I entirely missed my friend's birthday. Her birthday was Sept 7 and I thought it was the day after mine and on Sept 12. I feel terrible and apologized tonight. I need to get her a birthday gift that is large enough to be an apology. She will get brownies, too. So, that leaves someone with a birthday on the 12th that I am forgetting. 

Are you having problems with Amazon customer service? A witch in doctor office?
