My awesome tale of woe, part the second

[owlectomy]

Really, nothing more needs to be said about my hospital experience than that I got there at 8:30 and got home just now.

They took my x-rays and splinted me up and sent me to the hand doctor upstairs; due to some stupid miscommunication no-one knew I was there for another hour and a half, by which point my pain had spiked again. They totally failed to give me meds - I just got a prescription for Motrin, and it had better have some great narcotics in it.

ANYWAY, the hand doctor confirms it's not just any fracture - I have a benign bone tumor that was eating away at the bone, hah, which is why my Hello Kitty handbag sufficed to break it. And I will need surgery, which I'm not even capable of thinking about right now.

If my day weren't great enough already, I dropped my cell phone and cracked the screen. Truthfully, I wanted an excuse to replace it, bu the timing is pretty bad.

One-handed typing is so not my favorite thing. But I'm better at it than expected.

If you would be able to come over Saturday night or Sunday morning to help me pack, that would be awesome - movers are coming between 1 and 3 Sunday, and I have to work Saturday. It's so nice that you would volunteer your vacation time, but I think I can handle things okay... I'm not taking any sick days except yesterday to go to the hospital. Maybe when I get this surgery thing figured out. Which could take a while because I need to find a primary care physician to get a referral to someone who can do the surgery, and then if I switch my health plan to one that sucks less it will be a pre-existing condition.
