Their are people out there that just say stupid things. We keep our own hours as homeschoolers. We work 4-5 hrs. a day on school. We usually start at 8:30, but that can also vary because we HOMESCHOOL!!! It's been one of those weeks with denist appts. and orthodontist appts. It's one thing if you have the child with you that is having the appt. but its another thing when you have the child with you that isn't having that appt. People find it necessary to ask "why aren't you in school?" Like its any of their business. Maybe I need to come up with the responds "are you the worlds hall monitor?" Oh, well. So today, Kaleb and I needed medical attention. The swine flu is running wild here. There was no way we were getting into our regular doctors so we went to the walk in clinic at about 10:00 a.m. Kalen went with us. When we finally got back to the exam room, the nurse proceeded to asked why the kids weren't in school. We explained. Then the doctor comes in. He asked the same thing. Then he asked if the kids were in sports. So Kalen said she danced and Kaleb played soccer. Then he said "well, at least you get some socialization." It's interesting to see how the world perceives homeschooling. I wish I was quick witted enough to respond, but it takes me several hours to formulate a reply. Then again I probably didn't want to be quick witted to the guy that stuck a needle in me.
I was tested for the flu, but it was negative. Of course the test is only 60% acturate. My oxygen level was down to 93% (at 90% you go to the hospital). Since I have asthma the doctor treated me agressively. I got a steroid shot in my vein and an antibiotic shot. He wants me to take the tamaflu even though the test was negative, along with oral steriods. He didn 't bother testing Kaleb for the flu. He isn't real sick but starting to wheeze so he gave him a prescription for oral steroids and tamaflu. He thought it was best not to risk it with both of us having asthma. I don't feel all that bad, just run down and tire.
