...somewhere he opens a window. I am stealing that line from "The Sound of Music". If you read my post "Ring phone, ring", then you know I have been going just a little crazy waiting on Rex's private practice of fee for service medicine to take off.
I do not regret my decision to stay home with my kids. But as the months pass by, we watch our bank account get smaller and smaller. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ready to get in the welfare line. But it amazes me how quickly Rex's paycheck is spent. This is why our previous financial motto was "Credit bad, cash good". But we got away from that mind set during the residency years and now we are literally 'paying the consequences'.
I am getting off subject. (That seems to happen to me a lot). Where were we? Oh yes, God was opening a window...
In the past two weeks we have had 3 patient related phone calls and one real patient visit. This is us moving up in the world! But better yet...Rex has just gotten a contract with the county jail, providing all of their medical care. We are both excited about this opportunity. It is not exactly what we had pictured him doing with his practice. But we have learned that in life you don't question the gifts you are given. So we are going to take an unplanned path and see where it leads us.
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...
