I N S A N E ! ! ! !
I can't count the phonecalls....people panicking (gee, thanks LOTS Weather Channel...) and just general mayhem with kiddos overreacting and anxious, afraid they weren't going to get to be with their families. Parents, grandparents, siblings, social workers--oy....did I mention it was insane?
Did I mention the staff member who let me know she was now getting treated for staph infection?
Nothing big about that in her eyes--
But I can't be around staph or strep. It's 'disallowed'.
And guess what.......I was around it before it was treated for the required 24 hours.
Toss in the calls to the doc who wanted me to drive 35 minutes to get the bloodwork done..and the calls back requesting a plan B cuz NO WAY I was taking off in the insanities OR in the freezing rain to drive 35 minutes.
Unit phone's going off the hook, agency cellphone's vibrating (yeah yeah yeah..of course I'm oncall during all this...), personal cellphone is now beeping as the physician's nurse keeps ringing back with options I'm disagreeing with. LOL
I N S A N E ! ! !
The kiddos all got gone. How they'll get back...dunno.... The lovely folks on the Weather Channel (which the staff had on ALL DAY LONG, which added to the anxiety and mayhem....silly people....) are saying freezing rain today, 1-3" of snow tomorrow.......with a potential of 1-2 FEET of snow on Friday.
BUT!!!
I talked the doc into oral antibiotics which he rang into the pharmacy.
AND!!!
AND!!!!!!!!!!!
During the mayhem himself sent me a photo to the cellphone....
He LIVES!!
He LIVES!!!!
Yup. Himself resurrected Mr. Snowman.
Bless his little pea-pickin' heart.

I haven't been ignoring you, I was in Chicago since Monday. I returned home last night. I drove through it all, but it wasn't bad yet. I hit some icy roads in Southern Wisconsin, but it was dry up north.
Snowing here now, 32 degrees, so, slushy to start. Expecting 1-2 feet through Friday night. No relief until Sunday when it turns really cold.
One daughter has to drive 9 miles, the other, 30. So, they should be able to make it for a great day today with family.
Peace and a wonderful Christmas for you and all you hold dear.
really hope you don't catch those nasty bugs, Ms Mel
take good darn care

Hoping those antibiotics do the trick!
