Far & Away

One thing that sucks about living in such a small town - you have to wait for specialist doctors to visit or go to Anchorage. Orthodontist, veterinarian, etc.

The kids had dentist appts. last week & he said that they need to see the orthodontist. So we said it was okay for him to give the ortho our phone number and give us a call. A few days later we get a call and the girl on the phone (receptionist I'm assuming) tells us when he's coming to town and it just happens to be the weekend we were planning on going to Anchorage (we need to get Roxy fixed before she goes into heat again). What can I do? I don't know how often he visits, and although I've said I wasn't going to worry about ortho until we left here I do know that my kids teeth need help. So I scheduled the appointment and we'll just take the kids out of school for a few days and go to Anchorage during the week.
