I’ve got a medical appointment tomorrow morning. I’m sure they’ll cancel school so my preschooler and toddler will be with me. I’m dreading the drive already. My tires are good and I’m a good driver, but I’ve got a minivan. Just hoping the roads are cleared enough to go fast enough to not be an obstacle, slow enough not to slip off the road.

That’s my plan. Unfortunately, my appointment is for 9, and it’s allergy-related so I’ve been off my allergy meds and have had a sinus headache the past week. If I reschedule, I’ll have to do it again - but if it’s looking bad, I will 100% reschedule and suffer through this for a week than take the chance of anything happening to my kids.

Are you able to do a virtual appointment? I know certain medications can't be prescribed via virtual visit, but wondering if an allergy medication would?

Nope, this was actual getting-needles-stuck-in-my-arm allergy testing. I’ve got it rescheduled for a couple weeks out. Bit annoyed I’ll have another week of being miserable but I’ll happily take that over an accident.

Mercy just called and canceled my son’s appointment for Wednesday morning. You might check to be sure yours is still on.

I’m going to. Unfortunately, it’s for allergy testing and I’ve been suffering without my allergy meds for a week - but I will suffer through this again rather than do anything that would risk harming my kids.

Check before you go. I’d say there’s a decent chance the roads are gonna be super bad early in the day.

Just reschedule. Its not worth the risk of you your kids or anyone else. If we would all just decide to do what is advised and stay home more businesses would likely decide to close and stop forcing people to put themselves in dangerous positions.

I actually just called to reschedule. I can’t see the future so I’ll take the risk of being miserable for longer than harming a hair on my kids’ heads.
