Had an extremely rough day today. Losing my purse was just icing on the cake. The expression when it rains it pours not accurate, it should be when it rains it turns into hurricane!!
Today was my PET scan “aka” starvation day. Had nothing to eat or drink after midnight so driving in with no coffee and starving for my 1:30 scan was already hard. Thinking driving when starving might be as bad as driving when sleepy or drinking , lol.
After I got to MD, had to wait a long time because they were running behind. Had 3 IV misses and had to get a different person to come in and they got it on the 4th try. The vein was in a weird spot and hurt (inside elbow included pic). Finally finished around 5:30 and could barely walk I was so wiped out from not eating. Brought rolls to eat in the dressing room when I finished my scan so I could at least make it to get food. My blood sugar was 46 a few scans ago and almost blacked out when I was leaving so I bring something small to at least keep me from possibly fainting. I then made it to the Cafe (next to large cafeteria) for Starbucks…… Credit card machine was down, so dumped out change in my Purse and was $1.00 short for my coffee…… lady behind me actually bought my coffee. Dropped my lip gloss at counter of course , one of those days. Was crying at counter after lady bought my coffee , told her thank you several times.
Started trying to make it to the car with only one of my straps over my shoulder (had larger work bag with laptop in it and purse was inside). Stopped for food right away and had credit card out from cafe so didn’t realize my purse was missing until I pulled up to house. It took over an hour to get home in rush hour and I was extremely wiped out with no energy to drive back. I was talking to my sister on my drive home and after I realized it was gone we both started calling MD to see if anybody turned it in and no luck. Been calling over and over since I got home, sent emails with pictures and still nothing
