Infecting the World

Little man has been battling a raging infection for almost a week now. He got sick on Friday, the Sig stayed at home with him and kept pumping meds in to him until his fever broke. The only problem is his fever never broke. The doctor's office was closed on the weekend, and by Monday I was really worried. Little man went in to the doctors office at the first available time on Monday to find out he had a quadruple infection. Poor kid, no wonder he was up crying every night! I would be too! His fever finally broke yesterday, and he is on four different kinds of medicine one for each infected area I suppose. Today is his first day back at school and my first day back at work. I've had very little sleep since Thursday night, so hand in there, I'm sure I'm not the most coherent.

Why is it doctors offices are closed on weekends? This seems pretty selfish to me. I know that there are clinics open on weekends, but personally I don't want to go to some strange clinic when I'm sick, I want to go to my family doctor. You know, some one I know and trust, not a stranger. But for this trust I have to take the time off of work (when I could have suffered through the week behind my desk and been paid for it) lose that money, and then pay whatever the co-pay is, and then I have to pay what ever price there is for the medicine, and all the while I'm thinking to myself that I could be using this time to make money. What a inconvenience it is to be sick, the least the doctors could do is make getting well more convenient! If I could have taken little man to the doctor on the weekend his infection wouldn't have been so bad, instead, well, instead I get saddled with a huge bill a very sick child, and I have to miss two days of work. On the plus side, I read two and a half books. Reading time is always fun time.

Anyone read the news article about the whack job in Newark that raped a pit bull pup? Sicko! They are offering a $5,000.00 award for his capture. Please go to Fox News and read the details. People like this need to go to jail where they will experience what it feels like to have that crime done to them. Poor dog.

And still, no signs of Wii. Sad.
