One of the things that I appreciate about my job is that I get to do a variety of things, from driving to looking for stuff, to toting stuff around, and then I get to do computer-y stuff when I get home.
I finally have an acceptable bid for replacing my hot water tank (it's technically not what they call a hot water heater, since the actual heating is done in the high-efficiency furnace) -- the first guy wanted $6K.. how about $2438? That's still a not-inconsiderable amount of money, but still approaching 1/3 what Shady Plumber wanted.
I made a dent in the endless laundry pile today by doing several loads. I even folded it. I took a couple things down from the freezer for food for the week. And we made a weeks worth of oatmeal in the instant pot. Adulting is hard.
Elbow~ma, Tep! That sounds painful. I hope Tim has already been treated and recovery is swift and easy
Oh no, we've been in the waiting room for almost 2 hours. I'm guessing at least 2 more hours before he's seen.
I hope Tim gets some relief soon!
Ugh, I'm so sorry calm~ma and relief~ma
Ouch! Good vibes for Tim! I've been dealing with an injured shoulder and I don't even want to think about how painful a dislocated elbow must be!
Not actually a dislocated elbow! (X-rays just showed a fucked-up joint.) Just extreme, extreme pain from bad arthritis in that joint. I have never seen him in pain like that. It was scary.
So he got a shot of dilaudid and steroids, and has an Rx for Percocet and more steroids, and a referral to an orthopedic doctor. He's not discharged yet, but soon. Hopefully we'll be in bed by 3:30 a.m.
