*&%$#!!@#@%

i just called an orthopedic/sports medicine place. now, i don't think my knuckle is broken, but i certainly did something to it and in an attempt to be a friggin grown-up i thought i would have it looked at.

this took a lot. i once didn't call the fire department when my apartment smelled like smoke just in case it wasn't really a fire. i feel like an idiot calling someone to look at my hand when there might be nothing wrong. pretty much unless a bone is sticking out so that i am sure something is broken, i am not crazy about calling anyone. but if there is something wrong and it heals funky it could affect my playing and i don't want that.

so i call. and this woman. urgh. i tell her that i may have broken my knuckle. she says "well, first of all he isn't in til tuesday, and even if he was we don't take people without a referral."
i explain that we don't have insurance and just pay our own bills.
this witch says "well in that case we won't see you at all."
and hangs up. no further comment. just hangs up.

i felt the need to call her back and tell her how kind it was of her to do that. how pleasantly she explained herself, and how it was apparent that they were in this field for the sole reason of helping people!!!

ok, done now. but i am not calling anywhere else and my friggin hand hurts!! stupid doctors! i knew it.
