I have just come home from 4 and 1/2 hours at the Accident and Emergency....
With Z16.....
He accidentally took his anti-anxiety tablets this morning, then realised he shouldn't have, so took the ADD medication on top of it - so he'd taken 200mg of his anti-anxiety in 12 hours (he's supposed to take it at night time).
I rang the doctors surgery and was told to take him straight down to A&E because they'd need to monitor his heart/blood pressure.
So I bundled a reasonably doped young man into the car and checked him in to the hospital.
They did an ECG on arrival, blood and urine tests.
Noticing my obvious distress they have arranged for me to see someone to discuss things with if I want.
Any other time I may have handled it better.
I know that if I wasn't under so much pressure in all directions I would have watched/supervised him more closely.
The one positive is that they have made sure he WILL see the child psychiatrist at the local children's health centre to have his medication reviewed.
Oh and a $35 parking fine when I got back to the car to top it off.....
We have been getting by with our GP but he is limited, and it all falls back on me going with my own instincts as to reducing his dose etc. Naturally I always ask the Doc first, but he basically has to rely on my observations.
No new from the Big Big Boss,
just a few nit picky emails from HER - she tried to ring before - I didn't answer it....far too busy doing a crap job of everything to talk on the phone...
Hope everyone is is having a better day,

Farking Parking Fines! Geez, they have a hide, don't they?!
I'm glad z16 is okay, some of the anti-anxiety meds can be pretty rough on the system.
Thinking of you lots.

what a shit day...looks like we are all going through it at the moment..Knobhead txted me at 1am this morning to tell me he is never coming back and blah blah, this after he said he may as well top himself...
hmmmmm, this messing with our heads shit has to stop!!!
Glad he is Ok, and that you had someone to talk to....
A shitty, shitty day.
I hope that tomorrow is better. ;0)
Wow, your life is as mad as mine at the moment. Yes, change is certainly in the air, and whichever way it comes it will be for the better. Trust this G, its truth!
Sorry to hear about all of this shit.....work sounds tough. Do what you feel is right.I always hated being treated like a lowly piece of shit and especially when they know that you need to be working, you dont have the luxury of just walking away....may it all go well for you. Lucky
hi ya, I just read your last few blogs. You are having a crappy time. (I know, I state the obvious quite well)
That's too bad, however, not all bad that happens to us is bad. At times you have to walk through the darkness to get to the light. Not all paths are clear, as not all journeys have a clear destination in sight.
Hang in there, do you have any other choice???
And thanks for visiting my site, it's always nice to see someone new.
