chemists!!!

Well, I didn't have to deal with the Kindergarden teachers today, cause, hey, guess what, the boys were ill, and we had to go to the doctors! Robert isn't too bad, but Richard woke up ASKING to go to the doctors. Bad news that is. Well, they both have a cough, but Richard's is some sort of bronchitis. As I have been giving him cough mixture all week, we now have to stop that, so no more mucus (or whatever it is called) builds up. Now we have to inhale. The doctor prescribed a "Pariboy inhaler" which we get at the chemists. So off I go, and there they won't give me one. Something about the health insurance having the final say who gets one. GRRRR! Could take up to two weeks! HELLO - the boys are ill NOW!
Nothing I said changed the chemists mind, so once home I gave the insurance a ring, to try to speed things up. And there I hear, that no they don't need to confirm anything the chemist can give it to me. So back on the phone to the chemist, who doesn't believe me, but luckily the health insurance anticipated that, and gave me the number so that the chemist could confirm it themselves. Which they did and then got back to me. I told them that I now wanted it delivered. So I now have an inhaler at home for the boys.
I would have been quite OK, with borrowing one for the weekend, but that chemist doesn't work that way, where Mum lives they do. Oh well, now if we get colds and such, we can inhale the posh way, instead of over a thermos flask of boiling salt water!

So what else is new here, not much, Florian is home now, and we have a fun weekend ahead. Christmas tree chopping tomorrow and cinema on Sunday. I'll let you know how it all goes!
Good night
