Doctors, dreams, and child abuse

Posted on July 27, 2005 in dreams, life, rants, sick? again?! | No Comments

I’m quite tired today. Between the sheer unbearableness of attempting to sleep while it’s 80F outside with 86% humidity, the annoyance of having my puffy foot feeling all hypersensitive, and the fact that I really wasn’t very tired, it sucked trying to fall asleep. Eddie woke me up at 6am because I had to bring him to work, since I need the car to drive my grandmother to the doctor later this afternoon. Plus, tomorrow I’ve got to repeat the process when I need to take myself to the doctor’s (an appointment that I’m dreading). At least this afternoon I get to swim in Mom’s pool tonight.

I was dreaming last night. I was dreaming about looking for penguin pictures for Mom’s new cellphone. I was dreaming about going to the doctor’s tomorrow and having incredibly healthy results, and another dream where they were reluctant to give me the results without someone there with me and I needed to call Eddie to come and drive me home because I was just that upset about things they told me.

Driving Eddie into work today we heard a report about a woman who locked her keys in her expensive car (I wanna say it was a Lexus), with her nearly 2 year old son in there, windows closed, in hte sweltering heat. She called 911 and the operator told her to smash the window, which she refused to do. The police got there and unsuccessfully attempted to jimmy the locks and again suggested they break the windows, and again the mother refused, and proceeded to call a friend to drive her home to get a spare set of keys. While she was gone off to get the keys, paramedics saw that the kid was unresponsive and broke the windows. Thankfully she’s being charged with child endangerment. People like that don’t deserve to have them.
