Trying to Stay Calm
I just got back from the ortho doctor and apparently it is fractured…below the ankle. Nice big calf to toe walking cast which makes it much easier to walk but DANG. Someone couldn’t have figured this out a freaking week ago? Grrr… So I called the monkey run bandaid butcher shop (I apologize to all monkeys and butchers for the comparison) and they said they couldn’t give me the report over the phone…I’m like you can’t tell me if it says broken and she said No M’am we don’t do that. You’ll have to come in…So I said can you send a copy of the report to my doctor and she says sure…I was like without a signature or any way for you to verify who I am? and she says yup? OMG my head is going to explode.
So my doc (family doc) calls back and says the report said I was fine. Yeah…not so much. That’s why she sent me to a real hospital in the first place I guess I just wanted to know for sure how much our ‘hospital’ sucked. Note to self….drive the extra 45 min even if bleeding to death.
