This has been the month of doctor's appointments. This morning, I went to the clinic for my annual blood work. After waiting an hour, I was finally called in...I knew it was going to be bad. To start off, I was across from a little baby...secondly, the tech was an extern (dunno, is that the same as an intern?), who also happened to be an older lady. The extern was having a difficult time finding a vein, then when she found one, it felt like she was hacking off my arm....seriously, pain was shooting up my arm....oh, and of course, the baby was crying at the same time...luckily, the tech who was supervising the extern, took over immediately and was able to draw all 5 tubes in a matter of a minute or so....it took longer for the extern to look for a vein....
Two trips to Urgent Care occurred this weekend...the first was Saturday night. I called the Palo Alto Medical clinic in Fremont....to inform them that Jordan had "cracked" his cast....they gave me an 8:45 pm appt, they close at 9pm. We rushed to FREMONT Urgent only to find out that they closed at 5pm and I had been transferred to the Urgent Care in Palo Alto. We were in Redwood City when I called, I didn't know I was talking to UC in Palo Alto.
So, Sunday morning, I took Jordan to Fremont UC...the spoke to the orthopedist on call, who happened to be his doctor...taped it up and told me to make an appointment on Monday.
Since we were at the clinic on Sunday, we were able to get our flu shots. Neil was a slam dunk...he even finished before me....Jordan was another story....THREE nurses later, we walked out with a VERY grumpy boy...grrr...I should have taken a picture of that!
Monday afternoon, they removed the cast and splinted it, with the threat of re-casting with a pink cast, should Jordan not behave...
