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.

I dunno where you'd stay over, unless on Diana's sleeper sofa - and I think things will be under control if you can do either day, not necessairly both.

I can't have the surgery for at least 3-4 wks while my hand recovers, so it might well be Jan. or later. Anyway, it'll be a while before I know for sure. But I wouldn't expect you to use your vacation on my account- maybe I can stay with mom if my recovery's going to be really bad.
