Rough couple of days with D14 who had all four impacted wisdom teeth out on Thursday. Things seemed okay afterwards but about six hours later, she started feeling nauseous and began throwing up after dinner. Could not keep any of the Tylenol 3’s they prescribed down so her pain was escalating. I ended up taking her to emergency at 11:30 at night. They only had one doctor on so it took her awhile to be seen. A very nice nurse took pity on her in the waiting room and gave her a shot of Gravol. He then hunted down the one doctor (who was on the other side of the hospital) to get him to order a pain med. It was such a relief to see her finally drift off to sleep at about 1:30. Unfortunately, I had to wake her up at 2 a.m. to take her home. They gave us morphine pills (doctor said 30% of the population do not do well on T3’s and she is one of them) and we were able to keep her pain under control for the rest of the weekend. Poor thing… her face was beyond swollen. Took her to her dad’s yesterday and last night, she texted me that she had taken her pill, brushed her teeth, flossed and rinsed her mouth with salt water. Seemed really proud of herself.
Interesting and yet, not surprising, lunch with my friend yesterday whose husband had cheated on her when her kids were toddlers and then left her for “the woman who answered the phones.” He married her and they had another child together. Twenty years later…surprise, surprise… her sons informed her that while there stepmom has been away (hiding from Covid at her mom’s), their dad has been cheating on her. She is apparently returning next week and he has told his sons (now 21 & 23) that he is ending the affair. My friend just laughed at that. She says that is code for “taking it underground.” She feels only a tiny bit sorry for the wife but at the same time, says she is just going to get out her bowl of popcorn and watch the drama unfold. She has the same opinion as me. Cheating on someone is not an accident…it’s a choice. And it is a choice that certain people will make and others will not. You are either one of those people or you are not. Her XH is one of the people who will as is my XH. It’s just who they are.
Picked up my new car on Saturday. It was a big chunk of change, for sure, but I am so in love with it…lol. Pretty sure I will be driving it for ten years at least.
