Starting off Stressed and Confused
Ok, so Im up early this morning and doing my normal routine. Josh got to sleep at 4:30am and Im already becoming a bit concerned that he wont make it up in time to meet me and go with me to the doctors.
Im a bit scared and would be more comfortable having someone there with me. So with that Im worried he will sleep through the alarm or will end up being late.
around 6:15am, St3ve wakes up and asks if I think Josh would mind taking him to the hospital. Part of me is thinking "this is going to ruin things" and the other part thinks "This is serious for him and he needs someone to take him". So I wake Josh up after an hour and a half sleep and he is off to take St3ve to the hospital.
Now Im really worried about Josh being able to be with me. I mean, by the time he gets back here, he is going to be exhausted, and now he will have even more of a chance of being late or even missing it all together. Another part of me says "he is really going to need his sleep and I should let him have it" but truth is Ive mentioned before that I really need him there and Im worried about going alone.
So Im a bit confused as to what I should do. I mean, its not St3ves fault because he got sick. Josh didnt plan on having 1 1/2 hours sleep (although I asked him last night to come to sleep at a reasonable time in order to prevent oversleeping).
With that, and being I was leaving work early anyway, I decided just to call in. I figured I would be here and if Josh needed to lay down, I would at least be able to get him up when I have to go. Im not sure calling in was the right thing though.
My delima is being they are laying us off as of April 1st, I dont want to give the impression that I am slacking because of it. I truly am not. Im also concerned about "how it looks". Its Tuesday after I had a four day weekend. I havent had any warnings about calling in but still worry about getting let go earlier that April 1st and loosing the severance. Im sure they have to follow protocal for it but still I worry.
Given that and the past reactions Ive had from my boss, I have been disappointed in reactions to issues. When I was sick with red palms, rash all over, palms peeling, there wasnt even "are you feeling any better" from her. When my grandfather passed away, I emailed them and they didnt bother to read it. When I finally had to confront them with the news face to face, I didnt even get an "Im sorry to hear it" from her. Im wondering now how this will play out and Im torn as to if calling in was the right thing or not. I guess Ill find out soon enough.
So Josh got home after a couple of hours. It was a good thing I stayed home today as he didnt have his key with him. He would have either had to go back to the hospital, wait, and come back with St3ve who got home around 11:30 and still had no sleep, or gone to sleep in his car. Anyway, Im glad I was here.
He slept for 4 hours, woke up, and went with me to the doctors. Im kind of disappointed because the doctor said she recommened keeping the cyst. Apparently theres two ways to remove it. 1) make a small hole and suck it out which wouldnt get the whole thing. This leaves some of it in there and there was 100% chance it would come back. The other would be to make a slice in my head about 3 inches and cut out about a half inch around it, which would leave about a 3 inch scar. Neither one seem like a good option, thats why she said since its on my head and in my hair, she would just leave it. She said it isnt bothering anything so it would be fine.
So now that all raises the question as to what do I name it? Hmmmmm any suggestions?
St3ve is ok. Not too sure what the doctor said but he did prescribe medicine which is always good. I havent really talked to him all that much since I napped when I first came home and just now woke up.
Glad the day is almost over. Till tomorrow.
