What a crappy day

[Deleted member 541]

Again today was a completely shitty day! Get to work, and OMG they have BED BUGS!!!! This is the second customer in less than a yr that have had them! So, I went to my other customers house and asked to have the 1/2 gallon of bed bug treatment stuff I used in her house last year. They said yes, it's in the basement.

Coming up the stairs, I tripped and fell on the stair tread. Think I fracture a rib! It f*cking hurts!!! Ok, so get back to the bed bug house and I call their kids and explain what needs to be done. Their son came over and we litterly tore the bedroom apart and threw things out the 3 floor window and door. Including the box springs.

I'm bruised from falling, I hurt and now I'm freaked out again by bed bugs. Came home, grabbed a garbage bag, went into the bathroom, stripped off my clothes and they went into the bag and I tied it shut. Took and shower and then put the bag of clothes outside.

Next thing was to strip my bed apart and search for the f*cking little creatures. You can bring them in on your clothes, shoes, ect. I don't see any, but that doesn't stop the thoughts, the creeps and the itching factor of all of this. My anxiety is spiking and I'm a f*cking wreck!!!!!

God those little f*ckers are nasty!!!!

I'm sorry you had such a stressful day! Yes, bedbugs are awful!! Now whenever I come home from a hotel I leave my suitcase outside in the hot sun for a couple of days...It sounds like you did everything right, you probably got rid of them!

Ewww! I hope your ok. I hear that bounce dryer sheets repels them.

They have a company coming in the next few days to treat the bedroom and some of the other rooms. God those things are nasty. They say if you travel, when you walk into a hotel/motel room that you should put EVERYTHING you bring into the room into the bathtub, and then search the bed, end stands and dressers for the creatures. Pull the suitcase holder to the middle of the room and try to keep everything you own off of the floor and bed.

I'm don't plan on traveling anywhere!!!! And I will check my bed out for weeks to make sure I didn't bring any home with me. OMG! I will lose my mind if I did!!!!!

Oh no, that sounds like a rough day, you better get that rib checked out :( Hope it feels better soon :hug:

Well, the rib is a real issue. I'm home from work today!!! And still itching from the thoughts of bedbug!!!! OMG! Make all this go away!!!

This really sucks big time, @She Cat I hate them too. I am sorry that you fell and hurt a rib, just when you need some down time desperately you have to friggen deal with bed bugs! Keep us informed of your progress k? Try to sneak in some rest too. So very sorry this problem came your way, you sure did not need this at all.

:hug: @She Cat I hope your rib is OK and heels quickly.

@Rain @Heather Never realized just how much that you do affects your ribs. Breathing, coughing, sneezing and yawning is a real problem. LOL. Ever try and stop a yawn or only half yawn??? Doesn't work to well...

Then there is the anxiety with thinking I could have dragged home a bed bug!!! Every itch I now panic and search for the little buggers. I swear I will go nuts (ok, so more nuts) in the next few weeks......

 

[Deleted member 40995]

@She Cat have you gotten it checked out by a doctor? It sounds like it could be serious. :( Hopefully it starts feeling better soon

@Rosie11 No, haven't bothered because there is nothing they can do anyways. Even if it's broken, fractured, or just bruised they do nothing. So it's a waste of time even going. The treatment is rest, pain rlief(which they don't give either) and ice... Can't rest as I have to work, but I'm taking OTC crap for pain, and trying to rest when I can... Thanks!!!!!!

@Rosie11 No, haven't bothered because there is nothing they can do anyways. Even i...

Well, ok, just take good care of yourself then :) broken ribs can be pretty serious though if not caught, they can damage other organs, even puncture a lung, just be careful.
