National Physicians Assistant Day!

I totally forgot about this beautiful Day Yesterday! National Physicians assistant day is a must and I'm not just saying this because My Sister is a Physicians Assistant. They are a must have because we don't really expect the Doctors to do the dirty work. My Sister at any moment can stitch up a cut, Diagnose an illness, prescribe medication and that is just a few of their (her) talents. I am sure my Sister is sick of my phone calls asking about illnesses because every time I call she tells me the same thing... I can't diagnose over the phone. And for some reason she doesn't do house calls. (She lives in Idaho).
So I'm asking everyone to help celebrate this day with me (a day late) Leave a comment about your funniest moments in the Hospital or Doctors Office visit.
I'll start...
Before I was married I started getting skin rashes and we couldn't figure it out. So my mom took me to a skin specialist and he of course had me drop my draws I was very nervous and the words just slipped out of my mouth..."Isn't my butt cute" I still can't believe I said that plus I left the Doctor speechless.

Another story, this one has a funny ending...(the details are a little hazy but the whole of the story is here)
When I was younger my Mom had taken me to the Doctors (checkup or sick not really sure why)
He had proceeded to push on my shoulders and legs all the things Doctors do and when he got to my shoulder he stopped he asked me if it hurt I said "yes" If I would have known what a ruckus that would have caused I would have said "no" But the next thing I know is there are about four Doctors surrounding me and they are rushing me to get x-rays they thought I might have had a growth or something serious but the end result was an extra rib up by my collar bone. (Funny Huh).

Happy National Physicians assistant day (late)

When I was in labor with Jaxson and the nurse was asking all the questions they do she asked something about if I'm on any kind of drugs and Jeremy said do the illegal ones count, like marijuanna? The look on her face was hilarious. She didn't understand that he was joking and when I laughed and said NO, he is joking. She didn't find it very funny. I think she suspected it wasn't a joke at all or something the way she treated us the rest of the time!

I have a million funny stories, unfortunately due to HIPPA I can't tell most of them. Anyway I will tell one story that happened while I was doing a rotation in the E.R. There was a young lady who had abdominal pain and we couldn't find anything wrong with her on abdominal exam or lab tests. So we took an x-ray. When we looked at the film there was a bright shiny metal butterfly sitting in her abdomen. We were like how did a mature woman swallow a metal butterfly. So we went to do one more exam and sk if she remembered swallowing anything. When we did her exam we found out she was wering some pretty fancy underwear, complete with metal butterfly on the back. Who wears there lingerie to the E.R.? Never did find out why her stomache hurt though.

I have been to the er/ urgent care way too many times. It is scary when they recognize you.
This isn't exactly funny, but just a reminder of some of the extra things health care providers do that mean so much.
A couple months back Stiles was having an asthma flare. I took him, after steroids and a couple of treatments they sent him home. I know Stiles and knew that he wasn't doing good enough to go home, so I voiced my concerns and they sent us home anyways.
A few hours later he was doing worse, so I called and they told me just to take him into Children's, since it sounded like he would be hospitalized.
Since the next day (technically that day it was a little after midnight) was the memorial for Jessie's boyfriend, Kirk took him in.
Stiles took his favorite webkinz. They kept him overnight.
When they got home Stiles was upset when he realized he had left his dinosaur. He didn't want a new one since it didn't have an allergy arm band on it. He was upset when they put one on him so they put one on his dinosaur, too.
A couple of days later their was a priority mail box in our mail from Children's Hospital.
It was the dinosaur with a handwritten note from the nurse, saying she had found it, sent it back, and hoped Stiles was better.
Stiles still talks about how his dinosaur webkinz came back from Children's Hospital after drinking orange and apple juice and lots of albuterol.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
