[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399444, member: 1233"] You very much DESERVE a good round of screaming - a couple of them, in fact! Is the 21st the ONLY day that they can do his procedure? If there is another day within a week I would wait for that. Yes, he is unhappy and feeling yucky. It clearly is not an emergency in the doctor's view, so if it can be done a few days later, well, it shouldn't be a big deal. Or hire a nurse to sit with difficult child in case he has problems after they send him home. With a nurse you can go and enjoy the concert knowing that EVERY medical problem is taken care of. Maybe you could talk the doctor into keeping him overnight? He wouldn't need you there for a couple of hours. Most likely he wouldn't want you there because he would want to either sleep or have no one he knows (or no females esp ones he knows) know what he is going through. Is there any chance you can sell the tickets to get some of your $$ back if you cannot go? Maybe an ad on Craigslist? Or heck, contact your favorite charity and donate the tickets for the tax write-off. They could give them to a favorite worker or donor, or if they have clients they could give them to a client. Or they could set up a quick raffle to make $$. Heck, the PTA might be able to do that. Or if a teacher has gone above and beyond for one of your kids, and you cannot sell them, give them to the teacher. Or if husband is a boss and has an employee that is really great or has gone over and above he could give them to the employee and call it a business expense (maybe).
