Happy birthday, Kat (or belated if you read this Friday morning)!
I am sorry, msbelle. That seems unhelpful even if they are concerned. I hope you can sleep soon.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hope sleep finds you quickly, msbelle.
And Cass, hope you get some sleep too and get back some of those spoons.

Kat, that's helpful -- thanks!
Bon, I had a metal plate and 7 screws in my arm (I could have had a cast, not surgery, but I elected to have the surgery, as my ortho said my wrist mobility would be better and there would be a lessened chance of arthritis in the wrist as I got older.)
The surgery was out-patient; I wore a soft cast (bandages) over a half-splint with dressings underneath for 2 1/2 weeks, and then a removable velcro brace for 2 months. Let me tell you, in this heat and with my typing intensive job, being able to take the brace off to shower and scratch itches and exfoliate and put on lotion (gently and cautiously) was a GODSEND in this heat.
It all depends on the break and your ortho's recommendation, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thanks, Strix! That is helpful. Meeting with ortho this morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, bon! Good luck!

Hope the ortho goes well, bon!
And yeah, msbelle, you do what you can. I'm disappointed; when you moved, I really hoped that your family would be able to be more support for you, not less.
(Oh, and as an aside, the SO did end up with a Dallas tour date: Aug. 11 at the International Linguistics Center.)
Which reminds me! Strix! Gudanov! quester! Other KC-ish types! I will be in your vicinity (sort of. Louisberg) Fri. August 3rd! I know it's a workday, but is there any chance of meeting up with all y'all for lunch somewhere? I will come to you. The show isn't until 7:30, but I will be just rejoining the tour, so I will want to help with setup and kiss my husband and stuff, so I'll be at the venue by the time workday stuff ends.

THAT.
In my-job news, I still think it's weird to work for a place that gets covered in the newspaper.

Liese --
Yes, and yes! Depending on what time it is, I may need to beg a friend to watch the kiddo, but I am NOT turning down a chance to see Buffistas!!!
bon, so glad I could offer some decent advice, and I hope everything works out well for your poor arm. Hairpats...

I got my payroll notice and it was higher than usual. Nice, but in a wtf way. I got a second payroll notice that broke out a rewards and recognition amount from my regular salary. So, nice - but no idea why. We have a team meeting on Monday, so I guess I'll find out then. Hey, an extra $350 (before taxes) is always nice.
