[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 701578, member: 355"] Happy Friday. Or so I thought. She's definitely brought her "A" game to today's drama. Woke up to 6 phone messages (2 from a FB friend of daughter and 4 from a phone number in Thailand) that started at 4:30 am. This is why we no longer have a phone in our bedroom! This is the 1 year anniversary of my trip to Asia to see our daughter. It also marks the anniversary of her being attacked and robbed at knifepoint 2 days after I left (that cost us $3000 in replacement passport, flight, new phone, etc.) and her subsequent breakup with her boyfriend. Holidays and special occasions (including anniversaries) are usually a time for drama. The phone won't stop ringing at work. Her FB friend sent a message to me that daughter might have sepsis, might need surgery, there's "fluid in her abdomen where there shouldn't be", blah, blah, blah. I worked in ob/gyn for 24 years and wish she would pick something else to upscale. I suspect she is dehydrated. Friend sent a photo of the IV bottle and another of her just before having an ultrasound. But they've admitted her to hospital. Another hospital, another drama. What do I say? What do I do? What if she does need surgery? She doesn't have medical insurance (told her time and time again to get it). I didn't answer any of the calls. Haven't responded to the FB friend. I went to the gym this morning and burned off a bunch of anger at a cycling class. And here I sit at work now. Angry, frustrated, worried and bordering on enabling her. I'm thinking that giving her the number for emergency services through our government is as far as I will go. [/QUOTE]
