Lately, my family has been almost single-handedly holding up the healthcare industry, or so it seems. In the past two months I’ve made four trips to the emergency room and even more affiliated doctor visits. Here’s the score:
Cohen: two (stitches near left eye, then a month later, several stitches on left arm)
Tristan: one (stepped on a long screw and then needed a booster shot)
Keegan: one (messed up his right knee, had to also see an orthopedic specialist yesterday and has an MRI today)
Michele has been to a regular doctor visit and so have I.
See? It all adds up to a lot of support for healthcare. (That is a bit ironic since we are in a big healthcare debate right now in this country. While I think we need significant changes in our current system, I would be horrified if the plan pushed by the Obama administration gets passed into law.)
Let’s hope that today’s MRI will show that Keegan’s knee isn’t as damaged as I think it may be. He really wants to play football this fall.
