A day to remember,
Sunday's usually are..
this one was starting off with some pain
So, off to the ER we go
wearing a favorite Blue Jay Jersey
( one of the few tops that fit over my splint )
and Mimi as my chauffeur .
We are greeted by the same receptionist as Monday - her sister Jo is my daughter's good friend, so that makes us almost related. She was also on duty when Darrell cut his leg with his chain saw, but that is another story.
The nurse on duty is very nice .
Both her daughter and her sister share my name, Kathleen.
I like her already
The attending ER doctor, Dr T. makes
a very favorable impression.
New pain,
in my elbow and more swelling are worth checking into. I explained that I had seen an orthopedic
Dr. on Friday, but I did not think she
liked me. Since I had not made an additional appointment, I was not sure what
to do. Now it is Dr. T’ s turn to talk
and after sharing his evaluation, he orders an x-ray and leaves the room
I turn to Mimi and tell her “ I am very glad we decided to come, I am impressed with Dr. T and he’s cute. “ We both stifle a laugh.
We go to get the pictures which are
taken by Cathy, the x-ray tech.
Once the x-ray results are ready Dr.T
returns with his recommendations.
He says that if I would like a second
opinion, he will give me the name of a hand specialist to see. “he is highly regarded in his field, I have
complete confidence in him, and he’s cute"
I don’t remember what happened after
that, but I definitely took his advice
But first, we collected the rest of
the family and headed to Ivar’s Salmon House.
Have you ever been to their Sunday
seafood buffet ? It is over at 2:00 so it can be tight to make connections
after church. Worth it !
