It never fails: January dawns & at least ONE family member of the six gets just ill enough to NEED to go to the doctor as soon as the prior year's deductible has disappeared. :P Isn't that always the way? Icing on the cake, it happens BEFORE the oldest returns to campus, where he has 24/7 access to a free Joint Commission accredited clinic! Of course, lest I sound complaining, let me add hastily how thankful I am that we're both employed & HAVE the insurance to fall back on, unlike so many families right now. It's just the timing I'm unhappy about. Son #1 has bronchitis. Son #2 has a bacterial infection that, had we waited a few days longer, might have become bronchitis. During our recent travels daughter #1 had a rotten cold, while daughter #2 had the tummy crud.
What I'm REALLY grateful for right now is that I'm healthy--& I sincerely hope to get through at least January & February without getting anything infectious!
