I tried to sleep last night and I got a few fitful hours punctuated by my coughing my head off, followed with the joy of fever-sweats. That, combined with my voice going to hell convinced me to go to the doctor. I got an appointment at my allergist, Allergy & Asthma Specialists downtown and went in. Yep, I'm sick. I'm not working again tonight, and I've prescriptions for Prednesone and an antibiotic that I couldn't read; I'll pick that up later today from Walgreens. I dropped the note off at my work as well, and found out that I can burn some vacation days to cover the time off! So I WON'T lose pay for these three days. Thats ONE good thing at least!

Current Mood: Bleh. Also hungry.
Current Location: Home
Current Music: None

Well, I had the followup appointment for my hand with the specialist today. Its interesting just how many forms they expect you to somehow fill out without the ability to write...

In any event, I got to see my hand for the first time since the accident.

Amazing the colors that come from injury!

Also, it smelled. Bad. So, I washed up before it was rewrapped. Ugh. It didn't hurt, but eeyew... Not that the disinfectant soap they had smelled any better. :P

And the prognosis?

Surgery on Monday, at 3 PM, outpatient, to reposition and pin the broken bones.

I've NEVER had surgery before, Unless you count wisdom teeth.

Whee.

In any event, I'll be down a hand for a month more.
