Insomnia and Incompetence

I woke up at 3:30 this morning and no matter what I tried could not fall back asleep. At 5:00am I finally gave up and came out on the couch to watch some TV. I'm not sure why 2.0 insists on kicking me at all hours and then making my brain work overtime. This morning I was having mini panic attacks about going to the grocery store of all things. How am I going to manage the grocery store with two of them? I'm not sure why this thought suddenly dawned on me, but once I started thinking about it, I couldn't stop. Granted, I know it's totally doable. I know Noah can ride up front in a shopping cart and the carrier with 2.0 can ride in the back. No worries. But the thought process that it took me to get that far (it was 3:30 in the morning, cut me some slack) robbed me on any further sleep. It also occurred to me that maybe I should start looking into getting a double stroller. The thought of it makes my stomach turn, but it probably is a smart move...

So after all that drama, I got stuck dealing with yet another incompetent medical related person. My cell phone rang this morning, and it was the imaging center. The guy who claims he's been trying to get ahold of me for three days (they had a digit wrong on my cell phone. They have the house phone, though, which is how they got ahold of me last week. He said that didn't even occur to him. This is about when I started getting really worried) and he needed to remind me about my abdominal scan for tomorrow. I said "what abdominal scan?" He then says "the one Dr. Kearny scheduled for you." Dumbstruck, I ask him who Dr. Kearny is. He answers the doctor that scheduled the abdominal scan. I say, I don't know anything about a Dr. Kearny, that maybe they should call his office to straighten this out. He agrees, hangs up, and calls me back 10 minutes later....

He first tells me that Dr. Kearny's office doesn't know who I am (no kidding!), but this ultrasound was scheduled with my name on it so I need to come in for it. I said, I don't think so! His answer was to tell me that if I didn't come in for the ultrasound that he would have an opening in the schedule and he had to fill it somehow. You've got to be kidding me! I told him that I don't know how my name is on the schedule, but I am not coming in for testing I don't know anything about. I suggested he call Dr. Kearny's office back and find out if they had tried to schedule an abdominal scan for someone else and my name had been mistakenly entered. I then told him if it was a real issue, I had to be there next Tuesday for the other half of my kidney test (grumble grumble grumble, since they couldn't do this right the first time, either) and that if it honestly needed to be scheduled I would take care of it then. What I really wanted to tell him was that he was crazy and that they desperately need to get their act in gear...

I'm beginning to develop a complex about all the goofy things that keep getting messed up medically with this pregnancy. And it really makes me question the medical community in the country in general. Oy vey, the incompetency is too much!

Alright, off to play with the kiddo for a little bit before he goes down for the evening. I'm hoping that I can keep my brain quiet and actually get some sleep tonight. I did find the camera and have added a few pictures today. Until tomorrow, then :)

Morning juice!
