Sick of the BS

SD has the school nurse call me because she want's picked up from school for a stomach ache. Apparently DH was on a customer call and didn't answer the phone and didn't call back immediately.

She told DH Sunday night she "felt horrible and had a fever of 98.9. This would be at least the 5th sick day for this semester and over 20 for the year. DH has taken her to the DR several times and big surprise they find no physical symptoms.

I called DH and told him. "Did they say she has a fever or is she just wanting to come home?" Me: "I didn't ask, I just told her you were at work and probably on a call and I would see if I could reach you."

He said the nurse is a witness to her vomiting so he has to pick her up. My response, make her take a pregnancy test.

She's probably not pregnant but combining catching her sneaking out, complaining about nausea every other day it does make you think.

I wouldn't consider it a fever. DH's response at the time said it all. I'm not playing her game tonight. Goodnight.

Would that not be the first thing that crosses your mind if you were told, "She's has nausea and has tried laying down and eating cracker and it's not helping."

I talked to DH after he picked her up. He said she looks like she feels horrible. When he asked if she had called work she said. "Well maybe if I go home and sleep I'll feel OK to go to work." DH, "Then we should turn around and go back to school now. If your well enough for work you should be well enough to sit in a class."

She tells him "Maybe it's because I'm weaning off my medicine." He finds out she has decided to wean herself off her "happy pills", as he put it. She didn't tell DH or discuss with her DR just decided she didn't want to take them. I don't know exactly what she's taking but anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds are not something you just decide not to take.

Why would she do this? Because she doesn't want to take them any more. WHAT????? You don't just decide to stop taking something, especially when you claim they help.

DH is traveling this week so I won't see him until Friday when I get off work.

I asked why she was getting off her medicine, "She doesn't want to take it" "WHY doesn't she want to take it?" "I don't know I didn't ask." "You need to ask why, she had to have a reason to stop taking them." He didn't want to talk about it so I dropped it. He's to the point where he just wants to get through graduation and tell her to move out.

SD waited until I went to bed to come out of her room. I went home at lunch today. She's still in bed. Apparently she missed another day of school.
