true,no MC fr. SAHM. :sad:
Most times if I think I am going to fall sick, I go easy on everything and take preventive measures. Extra water intake.. more fruits.. make effort to sleep early and no/less surfing :razz: .. pop lozenges.. etc
The clinic we go to sees everyone in our family and even our parents. Even the locums know us too. There was once I fainted in the bathroom due to some imbalance thingy (which later was diagnosed as anaemia) the doc literally told hubs off.. Cos the doctor.. he asked me if i needed mc.. i said i don't need one as i am a stay home mom and wife.. hubs was busy attending to calls and sms-es while he was asking.. Both of us turned to hubs.. then i said.. nope, can't take that mc even if i need it now.. hubs gotta work.. just prescribe me the medz and i'll be off because i need to get back to my kids.
Doctor held up his hand to gesture me to wait a moment.
The minute hubs was finally off his phone, doc told him.. \"I'm going to give your wife an mc. Two days in fact if i can have it my way.\"
Hubs : She's no longer working.
Doc : Yes, I understand that from her already. But she needs a good rest. So I am giving her mc off house duties of any kind. But here she is having to worry about quickly going back to the kids and you having to go to work.
Hubs : I have no choice. I can't get off from my duties today as I really have a lot of work.
Doc : She has no choice too. She has to rest. C'mon how often does your missus fall sick ... sick enough to come see me? She needs to rest and that's that. You settle your work with your boss.
Hubs : I really can't.
Doc : I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. If anything untoward happens to her, it's your responsibility. Seriously 365 days minding the kids and the house apart from being the background support to this work you do... She not only needs this. It's being owed to her. She needs a break from the routine. I will only release her from the clinic once you settle your work things. I can wait. You need to give me your word that she gets full bed rest. No interruption from you or the children.

As long as you are giving stuff away at no cost, either can meet the peeps at your convenience or if you can drop them off or whatever arrangement is also okay. I've given away very good condition bed frames and sliding wardrobes with the interested parties arranging their own transport. Saved me disposal fees when I needed to vacate our place for the new owner to move in. Win-win situation. -

Buds, that’s a real doctor you have there. He read the other vital signs well. Very experienced and schooled in the real healing school.

ammonite:
Errrmmmm. Sometimes leaves are saved for other purposes.TheAnswer:
Can SAHM have annual leave from DH too? Like say 15 days of no work?
Why not, if the kids are old enough? go for an overseas trip with som gal friends and be young again.
Am joining my parents & my mom's siblings to Genting. My mom & her siblings going off from there to visit her other relatives......so I tagged along to accompany my dad back.....so I'm just moving from one family to another.

My spending habits have totally changed since I became a SAHM. Last time bonus means nice bags and shoes. Now, even though hubby will share his bonus with me, I just can't do it. Not because I don't like new bags and shoes; I simply feel bad using his money for such purchases and end up saving the money. Sometimes I wish he would just go out and buy gifts for me instead of transferring money to my account and say \"buy whatever you like\". He knows very well I'll save them. :sad:

This doctor is a sweetheart. :please:
I teared up a bit as he tapped my limp hand and whispered, \"You're still worried about the kids in your condition? Don't worry now. I got this.\" Then came his full force. No voice raised at all. Just said as-a-matter-of-factly... like the friends we have all have grown to be since the two of the doctors there are also friends of mine. I told my friend to offer him partnership in the clinic, instead of the regular locum when they are not around. He didn't take it up though he did consider it.
He's god-sent. A charismatic and professional doctor who loves kids. My children never once cried when they require consultation. Very gentle with young children. Our first consultation with him I remember vividly he said to dd, \"Now sweetie. I'm going to have to put this circle thing (stethoscope) on your chest, it's a little cold but it won't hurt a bit. (holding two fingers up) I promise. (smiled broadly and chuckled). But first, is it okay if I ask mommy to help me lift your cute little tee shirt?\" As I lifted dd's tee, she just had her gaze locked to his eyes somewhat mesmerized though she didn't even understand a hoot what he just said. :salute: He was just too charming, I suppose my mouth was gaping like dd's for abit. :oops:
In my instance I suppose.. God works in mysterious ways... and little did I realize, he came in the form of that doctor in my time of need. I had the much needed rest and the next time I saw him, he asked if I was bullied (the other time when I had giddy spells) after he allowed me to go home. :love:
Charming huh? Sigh...
