State Your Case


For the past 2 weeks I have been feeling pretty lousy. (NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!) I somehow caught a cold which is just perfect timing with me starting a job and all.  Kaden and the 2 girls also had the sniffles so we had a jolly ole time immersed in all of our germs.  After a few days everybody but me felt better. Lucky me!  Anyways fast forward 2 weeks and I STILL feel like crap.  (We won't even talk about the colors of things expelling from my nostrils and throat!) I always struggle about going to the doctor.
1. I don't have insurance so I have to be REAL sick before I will fork over the cash to see one
2. When I finally do decide to see the doctor, I almost always seem to lose my symptoms right before I see her.
3. I always have this feeling that I have to be prepared to "state my case" before the doctor. 
Its very strange and I caught myself doing it again this morning.  When I finally decided to go into the clinic today I immediatly started having these conversations in my head about what I was going to say to the doctor.  I picture in my mind like I am in court and the doctor is the judge, high on her stand.  I must state my case for my illness and if I am lucky then my doctor will bang her gavel and say "your approved for antibiotics"  I worry that I won't be believable or the doctor will get stern with me because I am really not sick enough and shouldn't have wasted her time. None of these things have ever happened in real life but for some reason I go through it everytime.
Why am I so strange??  Why do I put myself through all this??

And for the record....I was approved for antibiotics for my sinus infection.  Phew!
