Sister #1: I got a remote start in my car for Christmas!

Sister #2: I got an IPAD!

Me: I got a pair of socks from the emergency room…

Brother-in-law: At least your present was the most expensive.

Henceforth this holiday shall be known as: The Christmas Rebecca Landed in the ER. (For a case of hives that migrated to her throat, which started swelling shut.)

It shall also be known as: The Year a Doctor Scares Trent. (When, upon our arrival at the urgent care clinic, we were immediately sent away by the attending physician to the “Real ER, where they can do something for your wife.”)

And this is why I do not have a post about attending a Christmas service.

On the bright side, I did pray fervently between the urgent care and the “Real ER”.

Lesson Learned: Only go to the urgent care clinic with urgency…not an emergency.

Bonus Lesson: If, in the excitement of a swelling throat, you fail to wear socks, the ER nurse will gladly provide you with a  pair for the nominal astronomical price of your stay. But only AFTER you have bared your bottom* to your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law’s neighbor’s son [he is a doctor! I do not expose myself to visiting neighbor's sons for fun!], three urgent care nurses, one incompetent urgent care doctor, three ER nurses,two ER physician’s assistants,and a partridge in a pear tree.

(*My bottom would like to note that it prefers to remain covered. However,  if it is called to duty, in such cases as it being eclipsed by welted, migrating hives and thus becoming a threat to the life of its owner, my bottom is very patriotic and willing to be bared, even if said baring causes much shame!)

Apology:

I realize this post has nothing to do with going to places of worship, except that I skipped going to church on the biggest church day of the year. So….sorry about that.

In my defense, I am certain more people find God in the Emergency Room in one day than find Him in some mega-churches on Christmas.
