To ring him at work

[moolady1977]

So I have the dreaded lurgy and my dp has gone to work and put all the meds back on top of the cupboard aibu to ring him at work and ask him to come home and get them down or do I wait till his break at 12 when he said he is nipping home anyway either way im late taking them and can feel my temperature shooting up

You're honestly asking this?

I assume there's going to be a massive drip feed about your mobility. Or that not having the meds now will literally life-threatening.

Unless one or both of those two scenarios are present, then of course you shouldn't phone him

If you are in a wheelchair or otherwise physically disabled/have a broken leg & are in traction etc then that was rather thoughtless of him. If you aren't then what is stopping you getting them yourself?

Is there some sort of drip feed as to why you can’t get them yourself? Anyway he’s home in 35 mins....

Do you have a neighbour you can text?

I wouldn't ring any one at work for this.

Is there a reason he's put them out of your reach?

Drippity drip drip heading our way...

If you can't climb up and get them then you should wait until he pops back at twelve. If you've only got the lurgy being late with what I presume is paracetamol,ibuprofen and possibly antibiotics isn't going to kill you.

Very unreasonable to disturb someone at work for such a trivial matter.

Just get your head down, waiting a bit longer for basic over the counter cold medicines won't harm you in any way.

OP you have my sympathy. I'm home with the flu feeling awful and wouldn't want to be standing on chairs either. Dh has left my tablets, drinks and a list of times to take them next to me and has set alarms on my phone in case I'm asleep!

Phoning him at work would be completely ridiculous unless you are physically disabled or your illness means taking your medications at a certain time is absolutely essential. You sound completely self centred.

If you are physically are unable to reach and need the medication to survuve then you need more support and care, call DH.
If you just have the flu and will live taking meds in 1hr when dh gets home then just deal with it untill then.

To be fair, if OP has a high temperature, she may not be safe climbing about on chairs.
But you won't die of waiting for another half an hour OP if it's just a nasty cold.

It's a cold, you can wait.

I assume you we're taking piss and it's gone over everyone's head

Unless the HUGE and IMMINENT dripfeed announces you have mobility problems then of course YABU and you could stabd on a chair.

All those saying she feels too ill she's managed to access the internet, type and post a new thread I'm sure she'll cope.

Is this a reverse?

You either wait until he comes home or stand on a chair to get them yourself. Don't call him at work if he is going to be home in 90 minutes.

Wtf I need to know why you can’t stand on a chair?????

Poor DP!

I'm hoping you come back and say you're wheelchair bound or disabled in another way that means you can't get to them and they're urgently needed meds. Otherwise, YABU.

I'm not being a rude bitch, I'm chronically ill and disabled myself and it wouldn't occur to me to phone my DH home from work for meds unless they were urgent.

Absolutely call him! And ask him to pick up some macdonalds, and clean the windows so you can look out ffs!

Dudsville that's a great idea because I fancy McDonalds and I'm too lazy unable to go and get my own. He could run the hoover round while he's here because I can definitely feel a sniffle coming on!
