"Cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz. Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing."
OMG this sounds like bullshit, but I loved it!
Vote 3: tell Dan.
Oh, no, Erin. Don't do what I do. If it's any consolation, breaking the bone in my hand was my least painful major injury. Is it your good hand? Did they put a bulky bandage on it to immobilize it?
Have you called your health insurance? I say that because I had to pay additional money because the hand surgeon that was recommended charged more than "reasonable and customary."
I, like Jilli, am trying to learn to tell people when something is wrong. However, I might split the difference and tell him after you have the cast on, because then you'll have more information.
I think he'll be pissed if he comes home and finds you in a cast.
Spouses tend to notice these kinds of things.
well, i have vicodin now. and i was gonna tell him, but like, on wednesday; he'ss gonna be there till thursday and he'll just stress and there's nothing for him to do.
and i am gonna call insurance on tuesday, before orthopedist and call primary care doc, to get a rec.
it's a radial digital fracture on my left hand; my stupid hand, so that's good. with "cortal buckling?" i dunno.
yeah, i have a big ol' compression splint with velcro on it that urgent care put on.
Oh, not telling him before he gets home? Possibly more forgivable. He'll scold you, but he may be persuaded by the logic of "Well, there wasn't anything you could do, and you would have just worried."
edit: Though that didn't really work when Hubby had a heart attack. But that's a whole different level of "Eh, it's nothing."
If it were me on the other side, who is a perennial worrier, I would still be super pissed if I wasn't told.
yeah...i am torn. i mean...6 days with horrid ex AND worry?
ur right. calling now. dammit.
ur right. calling now. dammit.
You can lie to him about how you got hurt! You can say you were saving a rare Medieval manuscript from a dumpster and somebody dropped the lid on you. He'd believe that.
