[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 114202, member: 1967"] I did end up taking today off but it's really not difficult child's fault. Here's what happened. . . When husband first asked difficult child on Friday if she would take him she said yes. She later told me that she had a psychiatrist appointment at 10:15 today and asked if that would be a problem. I said no since husband had the first appointment of the morning and I knew from past experience that it shouldn't take longer than 30 for the procedure and then another 30 for wake up time. I didn't think to mention this to husband. I also thought that if things took longer than they should difficult child could call and reschedule the appointment. What I didn't know is that she was out of medications and it took a long time to reschedule an appointment in the health clinic. So, anyway, difficult child did come over last night and did get up at 5:30 to take husband to the hospital. I laid back down to get another 15 minutes of sleep before I had to get up for school and then the phone rang. I heard husband yelling and difficult child crying as I tried to figure out what was going on (while still half asleep). difficult child had told husband about her appointment and he was telling her that she had to cancel it and she was upset because she needed her medications. I tried to calm them both down but husband was really off the wall. I think it might have been some anxiety about the procedure that was setting him off. So I told them that I would call in sick and meet difficult child at the hospital so she could go to the doctor appointment. I emailed school because I didn't want to have to talk to the person that gets the subs. She called me right back and fussed at me about not calling in advance since she had 21 people out. I explained that I didn't know in advance and she calmed down since the last time that I had to call in at the last minute was 5 years ago. She was able to find me a sub so all is well. husband is sound asleep. We were back home by 9:30. It was probably for the best, though, that I was there because he had a much harder time coming out of the sedation this time and I ended up pretty much having to dress him. That would have freaked difficult child out. But I have to give her props. She did what we asked and even called after her doctor's appointment to see how it went. She is coming back over tonight to do laundry and stay with husband while I go off to my graduate class. DDD ~ He had to drink the nasty stuff. He said he wasn't given pills as an option. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
