doctor visits

I don't know for sure why, but I really dread going to the doctor's office. One reason is that I hate wasting time and money for them to say it's nothing. I hate the worry deciding whether or not symptoms are worthy of going in to the doctor. I dread sitting and waiting with the kids for our turn because we all get ornery. So I had to be somewhat proud of myself that I made it through the last couple of weeks. Within a two week period of time, I visited the pediatrician twice, Ear/Nose/Throat specialist, OB/Gyn, family doctor, and the dentist! What I found is that if you group all doctors appointments into a smaller amount of time, there is not as much dread and worry. :) And it really helps that I did not have my kids with me for 3 of the 6 appointments.
