lest i forget

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 !

Name dropping

I sure don't like it when other people do it, but hey, it is my turn.  And only in a good way.
You see, on Sunday,  ( The Lord's Day )
I went to church with some friends.
Ron and Tina  ( neighbors ) They drove me
Jesus  ( closer than a brother )  He goes with me
Ann Marie (  she was in my Sunday school class )  singing in the choir
Jim ( neighbor ) also singing in the choir
Debra ( old neighbor ) sitting in the front row with her family
Becky ( avon customer ) sitting right in front of me
Shirley Goodness and Mercy ( BSF and beyond ) waiting for a hug
Martha Ann ( BSF and much more ) in the atrium waiting for ME.
Bonnie ( friend since my wedding day ) visiting for the lst time
Ginny ( neighbor and paryer partner ) stopped by to say hello
Nancy ( friend for many years )  also came by to say hello

There were a few other familiar faces, but I hope I did not forget anyone that I actually chatted with. I would hate to hurt anyone's feelings.

Then Ron and Tina took me home.

Little man, Tanner, came for a few hours while his mom went to a memorial. He was so good. He likes to sing "Jesus Loves Me".

Time for David Jeremiah.

Overcoming fear...
And that ended a very good day.
