I've been waiting for this since last night. I teach a pointless class that meets once a week from 11:4-12:35 on Tuesday. It's for student athletes, painless, and should be an easy two credit A. Today is our last meeting (clearly indicated on the syllabus etc). I've now received about ten emails/texts asking if we have class today. WTF. Yes. You're athletes... get your lazy A*# to class. They are going to SERIOUSLY regret messing with a pregnant lady's emotions/mood etc. especially since I've been sick for 12 hours. I have no qualms about lowering their respective grades. Done and done, you lazy POS.
Everything I have opened to do the last two days I feel like is half assed and missing the majority of the information I need. I have literally started and pushed to the side multiple projects and now I feel like I'm losing my mind and maybe it's me that is missing something. But really, I feel like our consultants are just doing whatever they feel like and think we will ok it...
My TWT is work. I'm not even at work. I haven't been at work since Wednesday morning. And yet, here we are. I logged in from home this afternoon to try to get some work done and I keep hitting road blocks because nobody has any freaking common sense and today in particular the girl who is supposed to be my back up when I'm out seems to have completely lost her brain. People look at my like I have two heads when I say "I'm taking 6 weeks off but I'll still be checking in when I can" but this is why. I cannot leave for 6 weeks and be completely disconnected because I will come back to a dumpster fire and it will take me weeks to clean up what's been messed up.
My TWT is my insurance, my dr called in an iron supplement for me bc I was borderline low, got a call from the pharmacy just now and insurance is saying they won’t cover it and it’s OVER $200 without insurance! WTF?! I was like, ummm let’s hold off, I see my dr tomorrow morning and we can chat about it.
Um @JuliaGoolia719 ive worked in pharmacy for 9 years now (6 of which in retail) iron is over the counter and relatively inexpensive. It probably wasn't covered bc it is OTC. Unless your doc wants something very specific just ask if it is ok to buy it OTC.
@JuliaGoolia719 I took OTC iron before, hopefully your doctor will be okay with that. If you go OTC and your doctor hasn't mentioned it already, ask about magnesium or something else to help with constipation. I had a rough time when taking iron supplements, even eating my veggie soup everday on top of other veggies was not enough and I took magnesium supplements to help.
New TWT is me because I'm just now starting my water consumption for the day and it's 7:40pm which means I'm going to have to get up a million times tonight to pee. Not the first time I've done this either
Me...and work. As the rest of you said last week...I've checked out but they are still expecting the world from me. They act like I'm dying and never coming back the way they are piling last minute projects on me with ridiculous deadlines!
I got the ok to use an otc iron supplement, my levels came back at 11, any lower and they consider me anemic so its a low dose which will hopefully not make me more backed up....
@JuliaGoolia719 pregnancy constipation is the worst. When my nausea and vomiting we're really bad my doctor gave me something stronger for it and one of the side effects was constipation. It was so bad, I actually had to use pedialax liquid suppository at one point. I stopped that med and just dealt with the vomiting. I hope yours doesn't get to that point.
