Nightmare (the Mom definition)

Nightmare (noun):

Taking a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a 3 month old for vaccinations at the same time (by yourself), while the four year old tells everyone she sees how brave she is (whether they want to hear it or not), the three year old starts screaming the minute he sees the doctor's office that "I no want to be bwave!" (and continues screaming it until you leave), and the 3 month old is screaming her head off because she is hungry (but you are holding off to nurse until after she gets her shots). Oh, and you are getting a flu shot too.

Still Bitter....

Yeah, I'm still angry and upset.

You know how they say that time will dull your pain? Ease old wounds? Not this one.

I mentioned how much a I hate going to the doctor in an older post. I'm still thinking about it. I'm still frustrated at how the doctor treated my son and I. I'm still bitter that she wouldn't answer my questions. And I'm really pissed off that my son got 4 shots when I wanted him to have 2.

Maybe it's the rash my son developed at the injection site because he got too many shots. Okay, I'm not a doctor, so maybe he didn't get a rash because of the shots. Perhaps there is another reason. But my Mom-dar is screaming: "The doctor should have listened to you! The doctor should have listened to you." After all, the doctor spends, at minimum 30 minutes with my son every 3 months. She may know the medicine, but I know my boy.

Or maybe it's because a week after we saw her, he developed a high fever and cough, and when we took him to his normal, nice doctor, she sent us to CHOC immediately (her stress, not mine), for a chest xray and culture, and is also pushing us to get a heart echo.

I am never going to see that first, evil doctor again.
