the continued cost of pinkeye

April 15th, 2007 at 02:33 am

$86.95 and counting...
Add in the $30 co-pay I spent to get my eye drops (yes, I had pink eye too), plus the $75 I spent to update the lenses in my glasses since I now have to wear them for 7-10 days (I haven't had them updated in 7 years - my eyes have changed a lot since then. I have been putting this off for too long). I don't even know what the cost of the eye doctor's appt. will be yet, since he's not going to charge me until after my return visit Monday. It will probaby be another $30-50.
And then we have to figure in the cost of another MD visit for ds2 ($18) plus another prescription for antibiotics ($15) since he now has a double ear infection (which the pediatrician told us to be on the watch for - since he had a sleepless night, we took him in today). There was also $2.60 for children's acetaminophen for the fever, and the $10 DH spent since he was at the grocery store anyway waiting for the script...plus the additional gas and parking costs for another trip to the MD and pharmacy. Ugh. I don't even want to add this one up. It's amazing how catching one little illness multiplied by five people (the total number in our household, out of six people, to get pinkeye) really adds up.
