It was time for Lace to see the doctor and the kids were still in class.
"You have a very low vitamin D level," the nurse told her as she put pill into a small cup. Another cup a whole size bigger than the one with pills in them filled with water.
Lace looked at those pills as something she was all too familiar with. She took a cup in each hand and put the pills in her mouth with the water. She didn't know what was harder, to swallow the 22 that she took, or her pride when having to take the meds that she so desperately didn't want to take again.
"Tongue up," the nurse demanded to make sure she didn't put it below her tongue.
"Good. Now, when was the last time you pooped?"
Lace looked at her like she was a freak. The nurse realized this and informed her, she asks all of the kids every day.
"Yesterday," she admitted. "It was yesterday." The nurse logged that down in her computer. "Okay, you're good to go."
Lace got up feeling somewhat awkward about the meeting with the nurse.
