Well, we are stuck at home today. Crystal has a nasty bladder infection and anitibiotics to take. Our experience yesterday was quite interesting. After daycare crystal was quite anxious and upset because she couldn't go to the bathroom. So off we trudge to the emergency room at the hospital. There we first go to the wrong line and have to go back to find the right line, then the people who pulled in after us in the emergency parking line are now in front of us at the emergency registration desk. So we wait, and wait, and wait, finally it's our turn, then some old guy budges in front of us to pick up forms for his wife. Ok, now this is just a bit annoying, after all couldnt they have had the pick up forms thing somewhere else. So then we get our pink form, during which time we listen to the routine line about the walk in clinic, which I purposedly avoided due to the fact I thought they might have to do some type of procedure to crystal.

Finally in emergency, they want crystal to pee, now the reason we are here is becasue crystal can't pee, because in her words it hurts so much the pee is afraid to come out. So, we wait in the bathroom while crystal tries to make the pee come out. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, finally a drop in the bucket so to speak, unfortunately not enough, But we get to see a dr anyway, only now the emergency room and the whole hospital, paramedics, security staff and even the parking lot attendant are invovled in a mock code orange (bio harzard) major trauma practice. Sooooo, we sit and wait for another 45 minutes. Finally we get a perscrption for anitbiotics, some cream for crystal and the oppportunity to go home.
