Day 2- Epcot- Jeanne's post

Well our morning started with Danny up at 5:30am crying that his throat hurt him, he could not breath, and burning up with a fever. I call the front desk to find out our doctor options. Well you see there is this awesome company that will pick us up at our hotel, take us the the urgent care, order our prescription, drop us back at the hotel and then deliver our med's all for a low fee of $5.

PERFECT cause we have no car! Danny and I head down at 8am (that is what time it starts) Shuttle picks us up, we get to urgent care. THEY DON'T TAKE INSURANCE! Okay what are my options???? NOTHING, okay starting price of the visit $295. SEE US. He now has a 104. fever.
Test for strep, negative. It's croup. They give him a dose of steroids. Oh yeah, when we arrived I was going to be seen also cause I have been coughing my head off all night (but not at this price). Now I am also burning up with fever. At this point our bill is almost $400.00.
Prescriptions :) So the company doing the med's, they do not take insurance either. My question where is Walgreen's?? 2 blocks down the road. Will you fax the order over so that when we get there it will be ready?? NO- we don't do that. Danny and I and our fevers head to Walgreen's. Upon arrival I ask the guy for the pharmacy phone number cause I am going to get some med's for my (what I feel like is bronchitis). Call the doctor and he called in a script.
I arrive at the drop off window and the pharmacist informs me he is the ONLY one working today please come back in 2 hours. WHAT? I am at a hotel I can't come back, so we wait. In the mean time we purchase Tylenol (child and adult), Motrin (child and adult), a thermometer and we wait. YEAH we are ready! it is now 12:30 PM. We walk 2 blocks back to the urgent care and head back to the hotel. FEVERS ARE 102.8 for Danny and 103.5 for me. NAPS! We break our fevers and head to grab food (we have not eaten yet today). We head to meet Dan, Bailey and Emily at Epcot. It is now 4:00 so we were limited but checked out the Test Track (very cool), Nemo & Friends (kids did not like), Mission Space (VERY COOL), Space Ship Earth (I liked, Danny said it was just OKAY). That was about all we had time for so we headed back to the room for a good nights sleep.
Tomorrow will be a much better day!!!!!!
