Hi all-
Been MIA for a few days. Been busy the last few days. Alot of shopping yest at
Walmart for my trip to Hershey Park coming up soon

We all (I, DH, DD,and DS) went to DS's cub scout picnic last Sat. My DD ended up with a sprained ankle at the picnic from playing Tug-of-War with the boys. Not a good thing

She is doing better everyday tho, which is good!
My kid's finished school today for the yr.- 2 hrs of school today.
Gotta start packing tonight and tomorrow for vacation. Leaving on Sat.
OK, gotta vent about my DD's pediatric cardiologist......
I'm SO po'd about DD's cardiologist, as of appointment making
I called the ped cardiologist in mid-May to make DD's yearly heart exam and echocardiogram. Usually it hasn't been a problem to call 1-2 months beforehand to make her appt. So I called in May to make a July appt. for DD. Dr's office told me that July is all booked and need to wait for the August schedule from her Dr.
So last week I get a call that the first Sat in August is available and I took that date. So today I get a message on my answering machine(somewhat garbled message from the receptionist) that Dr. has to cancel our appt. for the first Sat. in August and rescheduled us for the third Sat. in August. Well, we have a prior comittment the third Sat. in August. So I called the Drs. office and asked nicely what happened and why it had to be rescheduled?They couldn't tell me a whole lot. They only said Dr. needs that time off. I was like, WHAT???? She is already taking early July off, too!
The thing is, this Dr. is the only one in the practice and she was supposed to hire an associate over a yr ago!

My DD's original ped card retired over a yr ago. He was such a nice Dr. Original ped card knew my DD a couple of hours after she was born, that's when my DD's heart defect was diagnosed.
Anyways, I can't believe the ped card that DD has now is taking all this time off when she has patients waiting for months to be scheduled,at least this is what I've been told. It's just been a run around to get an appt with her

. I am SO mad an associate has never been hired to replace the Dr. that retired. My DH thinks this Dr. has a control issue and that's why no one wants to work with her, as an associate. I just can't believe ped card's social life is more important than seeing my DD and other patients??? Ok, I'm guessing it's for social reasons, but can't believe this Dr. is doing this and she's only open 2 days/week at this office and maybe 1 day/week at another office. This is totally nuts!!! I know Drs go to seminars, workshops,etc.. but trying to schedule my DD twice because Dr is not available on their end, this is so screwy!!
I know, DD should probably go to another ped card, but there hardly are any in my area- within a 20 mile radius.
Anyone else had to do deal with specialists like this? Maybe I should excuse Dr. if she's going to US/IOA?
Thanks for listening to my vent
