Medical Memories
It's funny how memories work! This morning, I am filling out a patient information form for a much needed dental visit. It asked when my last dental visit was. OH MY!!! I had to go to my Miscellaneou/Medical file to find that.
As I thumbed through the many papers included there the memories were many! There are many tickets from Suburban Pediatrics where each one of the children went for shots and the varied childhood diseases. I'm glad that is over but in a way, I wish I was back there. There were such warm memories of when each child was sick and I cuddled and cleaned behind, rubbed Ryan's itchy chicken pox sores, gave the medications on time, held Maleah while they took blood for tests, sat for hours while she got fluids after having almost dehydrated, went to the hospital with Shawn when he got knocked out by an unknown assailant on the K-Mart parking lot, went to the St. Louis Surgery Center for Shawn to have knee surgery; went to Jefferson Memorial while Ryan had to be checked out after the van in which the kids from church were riding was hit from behind by an 18-wheeler. Scary times!! But all those times bring back such warm memories.
There were also memories of the many medical issues with Mike and I; his ankle, badly sprained, his Easter morning trip to St. Anthony's, my trips to Dr. Drapers office when pregnant and eventual trips to Phelps County Memorial Hospital.
There were so many good times and a few bad times but I am not sorry for any. I would gladly do it all over!!!
Being a family is hard work some times but for all the hard work it is a blessing!!! I waited FOREVER, it seemed to be a part of my own family and it was well worth the wait!!!
