I recently wrote a blog about how I hate it when my son goes to his
father's for Christmas. So many of you left very nice comments
about my tough time while he is gone. There were a few that said I
was being petty.
Let me Go deeper into this........
My son arrived home the day after Christmas. A short while before
he got on the plane I received a phone call from his father.
"I have good news and bad news." I hate all sentences
that begin like that.
GOOD NEWS: I remembered to put the
new insurance card in his bags.
BAD NEWS: you will have to use it
when he gets home.
Apparently my kiddo had slammed his thumb in the door of his
fathers truck on Christmas Eve, and they did not take him to
have it looked at.
When I picked him up, it was black and purple and he could not bend
it. We went immediately to the ER. After 2 shots of pain killer,
they drilled 2 holes in the nail to relieve the pressure. It
is in a splint and will be for the next 2 weeks!!
Why did I have to take him and his father did not?? I personally
believe it was b/c his father did not want to pay the 75.00 co pay.
I made sure that it was noted in the nurses notes that it happened
while he was in Dallas and not with me. My poor kiddo had to suffer
for 2 days before he got home and I took him.
Do you still think I am being petty??
