Just Shoot Me

One of the problems with going overseas is getting ready. I always have this feeling I am forgetting something.

Having been on several overseas trips, I have had my share of vaccinations. Seems like I never remember to keep that record of shots, though. So, I go to my doctor last Friday to get shots. I pay my co-pay and wait an hour and a half, only to find out that there are several seriously ill patients and no rooms available. And I had an appointment too!

So, I went to the local minor emergency clinic, thinking I could in, get shots, and be done. Another hour and a half later I finally get in to see the doctor and get prescriptions. He's done this before with several churches, and he's recommended as knowing what he is doing. Then I get word that the nurses cannot confirm that the insurance will cover the cost.

So, I have to wait until yesterday. I went into the clinic, sat for another hour(silly me, thinking you can get in for shots after already having seen the doctor and gotten the medicine ordered). They did confirm one thing: insurance will not cover the cost. Since I was picking up kids from school, I leave again without any shots and little more frustration.

Maybe God's getting me ready for "African" time . . . .
