Today was not a suprise but another dissapointment for my kids for sure! Dustan had a scedualed appt at 10am to see the ortho Doctor.I went to the traiolr on Fri and told Mathew about it,and he bitched about him having to sleep and he couldnt do Day time appoints.I told him I could take him to it but when he flipped on me on sat he told me "not to worrie,Ill take care of it..we were fine without u for 3 years, well be fine now"
First thing tis morning (9:30am)I called the traiolr.No answer.At 10:30 my mind got the better of me and I drove in to the hos to see if his car was there.It wasent.I drove to the trailor to see what happened.I seen him walking from the bathroom in the front window and knocked,with no answer.I knocked 2 more times then went in.He (mathew) was laying on the couch, I asked "what happened at the appt? No answer.I asked again...he told me "u gave up all right 3 years ago.I asked again.He told me he was going to see CAS and I said" why because u need someone to help u get away with what ur doing?" I again asked "what happened at the appt? Did u go?" He wouldnt answer me with a straight answer so I left.
I went home and checked the phone and there was a message from the ortho clinic telling me Dustan wasent there but if he came b4 3pm they could see him. I called jane to try and calm myself down. We decided If i went to school and tried to get him to go if my mom toook him,that would be the best thing.
I went to the school at 12:50 and spoke to the principal and he told me Dustan wasent there.He told me about mathew going to see him the day b4 to see if there was transportation to get him to and from school.I informed Mr Boutlier that his fathew was capiable od doing that for him.But told him he felt his sleep was more important I also told him about Mathew not getting him to his appointment.He expressed dissaprovial but unfortunatialy he cant do much.At least the school is aware.
I went out to my car and called my Mother.Its now 12:30. I explained what was going on to her and she agreed to try and go take him to the appt.I told her I called and they said if he got there b4 3pm he would be seen.They said they really thought he sould come in because if he didnt he couldnt bee seen until next tuesday.I told Mom I would meet them at the hos.I went into the hos.
Mom called me at 1:13pm from a pay phone at the store down the road from the trailor telling me she went to the trailor and Dustan said mathew took him to the appt.He told her he was sleepy but he went.He wouldnt go with her.I told her he was lieing and the clinic said he wasent there.I asked her to try again and that I was going to talk to them myself.She said she would.
I went to see the nurse and explained what was going on and she confirmed dustan was not there for his appt.I told he my mom was trying to get him in to see them and told her If they come they should be here soon.She was very good and told me to let her know what was going on.
I waited looking out the window until at 1:46 i saw mom drive up to the hos...without Dust.She said he wouldnt come if I was going to be here. Just then Mathew drove up and let Dustan out of the car and went to park it. I waited and when he came in they ignored me and asked the comissionar where the phisio was.Shows how much he knew! I told him he was going to the wrong place He needed to go to the 4th floor to see the Ortho Dr.He followed, with much hesation. I had to go back down to pre regester Dustan with central bookin then took the paper work up to the clinic.
We go into see the Dr very quick.They called Dustans name,I falowed..mathew legged behind us. The Dr asked if we knew he was suposto be there at 10 and I spoke up "Yes they knew" Mathew pipped up and said "we didnt come because we knew she would be here" (he looked like an ass!)
The Dr told us Dustan needed to be in a new cast for another 5 weeks. Dustan started complaining it was taking too long and I reminded him " if ur dad took u at 10 this morning when he was suposto u would have been in and out" "just be gald they made time to see you" Neither Dustan or Mathew said a word. Then Dust said "wonder what they would do If i just got up and walked out??" I said " probably take u right into surgery Dustan..enough!"
The man came in and put Dustans new cast on (asking one of us to help, I hesateted because I was sure dustan would object to me helping with Mathew right there..but he didnt volientare,and in sure the dr senced it so he said "dad can u help?" Mathew did. He told him " im sure u wont miss the next app because it will be to get it off!. He gave me the papers to take to central booking.
As we were leaving I gave the papers to mathew and told him "u can make the appt. I still went with him. When we giot ther the lady asked "when is bes for the appt?" I told mathew " ask for the latest appt!" He did.May 25 at 3:20.
