Today I had the misfortune of having a sick kid that needed to go to Urgent Care. Of course since it's the 1st of the year there was only 1 Urgent Care open and 1 Pharmacy. Now I could have gone to the E.R., but unless there is major bleeding or a broken bone, I'm not stepping foot there.
Always in the past if I had a sick kid on a Friday I took them into the doctor, because you never know what could happen. This is the one time that I said, "it's just a cold" and let it go. Stupid stupid stupid. My poor Kol baby had a double ear infection. Since Kolin can barely talk trying to get him to express what was wrong with him was next to impossible, though I have to give him credit because he did say he had ouchies.
As I walked into the Facey urgent care I was amazed that many people could fit into that waiting room. There had to be at least 30 people in there and I almost turned around then. Not being a fan of Facey I might have been more abrupt with the front desk people for trying to recruit me to join their practice. No, I am here under duress only! The people were very efficient for the amount of patients being seen and since Kolin was in a fever induced stupor it wasn't so bad. 3 1/2 hours later Kolin and I were home with antibiotics and he's feeling better already. My only big complaint of the whole ordeal? Why is there only 1 freaking urgent care and 1 freaking pharmacy open on New Years Day? There are almost 200,000 people living in the Santa Clarita valley and 1 is not enough. I guess this is another place my future lottery winnings will be spent.
