Suitcases to earwax, I've got it covered

We now had a place to live. It was time for me to start packing what I could take on the plane and what I couldn't pack up in my car for my husband to drive out at a later date. I needed a big suitcase and since I already had to sell some vital organs and appendages to pay for our deposit on our new home, I decided to go Goodwill hunting. I took my dad along with me as he too is a Goodwill junkie. It was between two amazing suitcases. How did I decide you're wondering? It was simple. One came with a pair of dirty socks and the other had nickel inside and a "I visited Yellowstone National Park" sticker on the outside. Clearly I chose the suitcase that not only survived Yellowstone & I could tell survived was the correct term due to what looked like bear claw marks on the outside, but was also five cents cheaper. When we made our pilgrimage home with our new treasures, my 4 year old informs me in tears that his ears hurt. "Well, crap!" I thought. He'd been struggling with ear infections and a year ago we put tubes on his ears. Well, not "we" as I'm sure that is frowned upon in the medical field, but the ENT doctor did. I quickly booked an appointment for him since we were flying out in three days! We were so close to being a whole family again and this was going to be a major set back. The day before we were to fly out the doctor generously made time to see us. As Doc was looking at his ears he says, "Good news, mom. Tubes have come out naturally and there is no infection!" This statement was followed by his taking what looked like long stemmed scissors and pulling out a small chunk of earwax. I knew Doc felt terrible as soon as my son began sobbing. I went to pay my co-pay and am surprised that the two second earwax removal procedure cost me, out of pocket $85! *insert wide eyed emoji here. I keep telling myself, "It was an $85 payment for piece of mind. You'll be home tomorrow! We fly tomorrow!!"
