So I am waiting for the bus after I had to make an appointment for my daughter's doctor just to get a note to apply sunscreen on her while she is at school. And I am waiting and waiting as the ice cream melts in this lovely Texan weather and I noticed a fellow female stranger sitting in the hot sun and I invited her over to the shaded area so she wouldn't have as much trouble staying in sun when we're waiting at least 10 minutes for the bus. So we're talking and talking and I noticed she had a scar in the middle of her chest. She was talking about being more patient with time, transportation and etc.
And I told her I have semi-lost my patience since moving to Texas because of all the crazy drivers especially during the Christmas season. I mentioned I have to be more patient with Lupus and the funny thing is that she has it as well except hers was more different it was more with her organs reacting. So she was telling me how she had problems with her body making her vomit so many times and that when she went to the doctor they didn't want to test her for anything else thinking its just a minor type of surgery for gallbladder removal. They were going to wait until she reached a fever to test her for Lupus.
Let me tell you why this is dangerous. if you have Lupus and your fever gets over 100*F you can die it is fatal and I'm surprised she hasn't sued whoever the hell took care of her and didn't treat her as quickly as they should've. Omfg I would've raised hell if they ever did that shit to me. If they tell you oh its fine don't worry about it. Uh yeah don't trust that get a second opinion to get some kind of valid answer but yes she has been going to the hospital week after week just to make sure her body is working functionally along with making sure she takes care of her kids as well.
But yes she seemed very nice and I hope she gets the treatment that she needs asap. It was nice to meet someone that actually understands what Lupus is. And on my way home since all the schools basically released all the kids and it was horrible traffic just to get home in my portable shopping cart that I can take with me shopping. I walked with it I "carefully" dropped it down and guess what the wheel did. The back left wheel bent inward and I'm like fuck! I had to fix it very quickly and wobbled it all the way home. I am not happy about that I'm cheap and I paid $20 for that thing.
