Happy New Year to all you crafty guys and gals.
Shitty way to start out the new year at my house. My 21 year old son was complaining about pulling a muscle in his back. He kept coming to us saying he was in so much pain. He tried muscle relaxers, ice, a heating pad and getting in very position we could think of but nothing was working. He dealt with this the entire day and just wouldn’t stop telling us how bad it hurt. All day my wife and I thought he was just making way too much of the pain, but his face was telling us maybe not.
We all tried to go to sleep. He woke my wife up because he was in too much pain, but I was still asleep. When I woke up this morning my wife and son were gone. I called her and found out they went to Urgent Care. They told him to go to the Emergency Room instead because they were better equipped to help him.
So far they have been there for at least 2 hours and were told it might be another 2-3 hours before he is seen. It must have been a bad day for a lot of other people to have a wait that long. He told us he couldn’t sleep at all last night because of the pain. She told me he was laying on the floor in the waiting room asleep. I guess he just couldn’t stay awake any longer .
Crap seems to happen when you are least prepared to deal with it. So far the wife can’t seem to find a pharmacy that is open if she needs to fill a script.
