gee

Morning Bonnie Lea,

For nothing to say you can sure still roll the words. 

It sure seems like the stars aren't aligned right, karma might be off and I think someone has stole my mojo.  (Austin Powers)  A lot of my friends and family have been hit by a series of unfortunate events, including me.  Grrrr

So there I was, sprained hamstring and broke little toe, everything seemed to be healing ok until the baby toe started turning red, then swell, then hurt like hell.  Sent a pic. of the toe to a buddy as a joke and his wife tells me I HAVE to go to the Urgent Care.  Like an obedient child off I go.  'You are #5 to see the doc., shouldn't be too long'  Fine… well, when you are big enough to eat hay and sniveling about your baby toe, people tend to forget about you and let every other Tom, Dick and Harry go before you.

So finally I'm laying on the bed and have to hold my leg up with hands 'cause the pain is now so bad.  Toe is swelled like a sausage and my heart has moved into it.  Nurse looks at it and makes the gross face.  "See, you need to fix my toe," says me.  'About 5 minutes and the doc. will be in'.  I stare at the clock as an hour goes by.  Finally I hobble out and start bitching.  Nurse checks in on my and I ask her what these funny red streaks are going up my leg.  She gets a little twitchy, hits me in the chest and says they haven't gone up to here yet.  WTF????

"We have to get an xray"  hop, hop, hop down to get that done.

Wait, wait, wait.  The dr. comes in and starts to panic abt. the red lines and is asking why nobody has given me a shot in the arse yet.  Crabby nurse comes back with big honkin' needle and takes her anger out on me.  Doctor now says that the next procedure might hurt….. He sticks the needle in my sausage toe to try to freeze it.  (Didn't work)  That really smarted until he took his little scalpel and or needle to try to get a sample.  I totally spun out from the pain.  Screaming like a school girl and throwing out f bombs he eventually was done.  Nurse bandages me up and has to wheel me out to my truck.  Drive home and hop, hop, hop up the stairs to my apt. 

Toe is much better now in case you are wondering

Other than that life is good…. ha

I'll give the most sympathy to Mrs Bonnie, Still praying that mel is staying away.  Those call backs and waiting are their own pain!

Not sure what to say about Mr Yoops Big little toe!  HOP, hop, hop.!  Maybe, boy you were lucky, you could still hop!  Now if you want a real problem.  Imagine having both legs and feet mangled in an auto wreck in Germany and the military hospital telling you that you (a DOD civilian)  only have a sprained ankle.  After 3 or 4 hours I finally stole a wheelchair and had my wife drive me home.  We lived on the 3rd floor.  Cannot hop with two bad legs.  So how do yo go up 7 sets of stairs?   Maybe sitting down and trying to slide backwards?  Not fun!  Oh, how about half way up you badly need to have a bowel movement?  Simple, right, just have to knock on a neighbors door and ask to use their bathroom.  We all had a 1/2 bath just inside the front door. 

        Oh, now for the real problem, remember that they never even have given you any pain meds at the hospital emergency room.  Now back to the REAL problem.  The 1/2 bath was barely big enough to get into.  NOw remember that you cannot put ANY pressure on your feet or legs.  Sit down on the floor and figure out how to get your A-S   up on the throne!  That is A PROBLEM.  OH YEAH, I hadn't mentioned that my right chest was slightly bloody from where the steering wheel had pinned me to the seat back as the steering column and firewall crushed into the base of the drivers seat.  

    Yeah, you laugh now, bet you wouldn't have when sitting on the floor then!

PS, did you know that a civilan cannot sue the military medical system for malpractice unless the overseas incident that led to the injury occurred on base.  Where the malpractice ocurred and how bad it was is not relavent according to the Supreme Court rulings.

PPS.  Glad your toe is getting better.
