Why You Should Never Lie to Your Mother.. or.... Instant Karma's Effect on Others

Warning this may become uncomfortably gross and too personal for you to continue reading.... just a friendly warning...


So I had to go to the doctor yesterday to finally find out what my problem is. The last three months my period has been late. The doctor did not wish to see me and swore up and down I was not pregnant because the home test said so. He prescribed me this terrible hormone drug Provera to induce my period swearing if I was indeed pregnant it would not hurt me or the baby. I took it for 4 days and became violently ill. I called the doc back and he told me to discontinue it and if I did not get my period in a week then to resume the meds until I got too sick to take them (brilliant plan) and he'd see me when he got back from VACATION. So a week goes by and "my friend" is no where to be found. I started the meds again and immediately became sick. I made an appointment to see him yesterday as it was his first day back in the office. Well I woke up yesterday and surprise surprise guess who decided to show up. I called him because I was spiking a fever all weekend and had been in huge amounts of incapacitating pain all week. He didn't feel I was really sick enough to be seen. Soooo.... I got in my car and I went to the ER and they thought I was sick enough to schedule me for a CAT Scan today. They also felt the need to call him and bitch him out cause clearly I am not faking. They told me I am not pregnant but can not guarantee I was not pregnant at one time and the meds made me miscarrying leaving a blockage (aka my baby) in my ovary or my tubes. Fabulous! So I go for my scan today and ensure my Mother I do not need her there as A will be accompanying me. I then tell A I do not need him as I am a big girl and can do it on my own. I do not like people to see me this way.


Well my Mother called me and I was in the middle of my scan and did not answer. She got worried because she thought the scan was later in the day and knows that I will not call anyone if I get ill until after I have taken care of the basics myself. I can't really be blamed for this behavior as I learned it from her. She proceeds to call A and becomes frantic when she learns that he is at work and not with me as I had told her. (Keep in mind that despite the fact that I am a grown adult I am an only child) Being my Mother she left work frantically and rushed to the hospital to be by my side for this traumatic experience she believed I was having. By this time I am leaving the hospital because a scan takes all of 30minutes. I begin pulling out of the parking lot to go to CVS and there I find my Mother laying on the side of the road. I was hysterical. Apparently in her quest to be with me she saw me pulling away and in her attempt to flag me down she tore all of the ligaments in her leg. I then spent the rest of the day with her in the ER. I felt terrible and now she is bed ridden and will possibly need surgery. A and I got Yankees tickets for tomorrow's game but he will be going solo as I will be nursing my poor Mother back to health. I am such a terrible daughter.........and this is why you should NEVER lie to your Mother. Apparently instant Karma will not only effect you it will effect the people around you if you have enough of it built up.



**EDIT** I should add in that my Mother is only 42 years old and is fairly young. I did not want to confuse you and have you thinking I am any more horrible and my Mother is in fact 80 years old and I am making her rush to my side.
