when she was telling me 
she needed to go to
URGENT care 

she was like
it REALLY 
HURTS

when we were at the urgent care 
talking to the doctor and nurses

it didn't REALLY hurt
it was
UNCOMFORTABLE 
IRRITATING 

NOW 
I'm not trying to say
we should not have gone

I'm saying 
I NEVER 
KNOW what is TRUE 
with her

she must not want pain killers
because that was
WHY
they were asking 

BUT I have no sense that she understands that 

they took 
BLOOD 
& did a chest x-ray 

because her blood pressure was high
& she was retaining fluids

SO
MAYBE 
she WANTED to go to the hospital 

letting them do all THAT extra
BUT 
she was putting weight on her arm
while they were trying to take her pressure 

I THINK that
messed up the result 
because it was 
NORMAL 
when they took it again at the end

AND
ALL her tests came back
NOT like NORMAL 
BUT 
consistent with her normal results 

this URGENT care 
is the same system as 
her other medical
so they have
her charts
at hand
