To feel like a terrible mum?

I have two DS ds12 had surgery on his foot this week and is due back in this afternoon for a dressing change and check his foot etc. highly prone to infection so no way I can miss this appointment. Already tried to change the time but I couldn't.

Ds8 had a Mother's Day event today at school at the exact same time as ds12 appointment. Obviously as much as I'd like to spilt myself into two I cannot.
DH doesn't drive so can't take ds12 instead of me and hospital is a 45 min drive away so no bus/taxi and even if they could ds12 can't wear shoes yet or walk properly.

Queue ds8 crying hysterically this morning before going into class, I went to a school event yesterday afternoon with him and I try to never miss any of them but he's taken this so badly. Sad
Promised to bake a cake with him and have a lovely day on Sunday going to the park, hot chocolates etc. but still hysterical.

AIBU to feel like the worlds worse mum here? Obviously I know there's working mums as well who can't go but I feel awful as I'm a carer to both children who both have disabilities so I should be there 😩
