After the day I had today, I burst into tears when after fiddling for 1/2 an hour, my blog continued to tell me I had no authorized access to enter. My own blog had turned against me.
Today I spent 7 3/4 hours with my son waiting to see a specialist who had a huge sign on the front desk saying NO FOOD AND DRINK ALLOWED. When the receptionist gave me attitude about going down to the deli, cause I might miss the doctor, I brought a sandwich up for my son. Although she didn't challenge me, I overheard her tell the nurse she was tired of people ignoring rules. I ignored her too.
I couldn't ignore the nurse who sneezed into her hand and then went to touch my son's lacerated eye .I asked her to wash her hands. I may have not been tactful enough for her, but how tactful can you be when you have to ask a nurse to wash her hands.
I cancelled a lunch meeting I had at 12:30, and a dentist appointment at 2:30. By the time my son saw the Eye God , I was frustrated. He spent 3 minutes with us. Almost 8 hours of waiting for 3 minutes. Then he broke the news. We had to see him again in a week. Same time, same possible wait, because after all they were the EYE GOD and could not possibly predict when they would be available to produce their miracles.As we were walking to the desk , I informed him I would like to have a copy of his report, as I wanted to see another specialist, he smirked and said, "Sure, it's 30.00 a page "as he pointed to the copier in the corner.Even as my brain was telling me to shut up, and my son was pulling my arm and saying "Let's go Mom", my mouth was moving, as if possessed by the Legions of Hell. I let him know what I thought of his 30.00 a page photocopies. And his eight hour wait, and his nurse that doesn't wash her hands. And I left. With no appointment and no photocopies.
I get home and listen to all the messages from the office that I've missed today,and added to my already busy tommorow and then turned on the old laptop. No blog. I was sure it was instant Karma coming back to kick my butt.
So I did what I usually do when I am frustrated beyond belief. I cried.
So I'm not sure if it was any of the fiddling I did with the template, or my tears on the keyboard, but it worked. And I'm up and running.
I'm also looking for a new specialist.

I checked your blog shortly after you commented on my site and viewed it with no problem. Blogger may be having problems. I noticed some difficulty viewing other sites today when my sidebar just disappeared. I closed and opened the sites repeatedly with the same results...then a message popped up that a process was running that interfered with explorer and explorer needed to shut down..it was flash media 8. I shut down explorer, reopened and found my sidebar had miraculously returned and I've had no further problems since. Wonder if your bug might have beent the same.
How's your son's cabeza? And what's with the "specialist"? Did the laceration actually damage the eyeball or penetrate through the eyelid? Also try having the second doctor request your records. He'll probably pay nothing. It may take longer but it doesn't cost you anything.
Oh yeah, ......breath. Take a look around and then breath again. Two very important things. You'll find when you look around, everything is still there...your family, your job, your home. And you can still breath....so life is good.
Any day above ground is a good day....remember that.
Hope!!! I am so sorry - what a frustrating and crappy day. I cannot believe you had to wait that many hours. That absolutely sucks - and then to be treated like such crap by the employees there. That is just not right. I agree with WWW - if you go to a new specialist, they should be able to get your records with no problem. I would not go back to a place that treats people with such rudeness.
And the deal with blogger - I have had the same problem, with blogger not even letting me in my own blog. I usually click again and I am allowed access...so I think its just blogger and not you. And by the way, I also cry when I am frustrated - I hate it, but I do it and its a great tension release. Anyway, I sure hope you have a better day! Hang in there.

My son has a 1 mm laceration inside his eye. He has a bleed in there, so he must remain inactive, which is really hard for him. We broke the news to him last night that although the EYE GOD said 7 to 10 days, he wouldn't be playing hockey again this season. We just feel that it's not worth the risk for a couple of games at the end of the month. Cost of the report wasn't an issue for me. The fact that the man was so full of himself that he actually had the nerve to charge that much was the the hole in the dam. It all came bursting out. I have told my story to anyone I've come across and anyone who has had dealings with the EYE GOD tells the same stories of disrespect. Had it not been an emergency I would have checked.
My attitude is better. Thanks for the support.
Oh my god, let me at him. What a complete and total ass. You didn't get arrested for killing any of them, I assume, so you're obviously more patient than I am.
OH that is totally unacceptable! I hate it that SPECIALIST figure WE owe them something for going to school a few more years. It's total Bullshit! I would have said something and I would ahve told the nurse off too. AND I would ahve cried at the end of the day.
GOOD FOR YOU HOPE!
And I'm still having problems with my site too but if I hit refesh it loads. GO figure.
Hugs Honey!
Blogger often messes up the sites of those who pick on defenseless persons in the Great State of Texas....be warned! ha ha
