So the Mrs. had a spill at 4 pm yesterday---damned ice.

To ER by 5 pm, xray at 8:30 pm, and at 11 pm she saw the ortho.

Are you kidding?

Small local hospital, just the kind thaty will fail under the new cuts to medicaid/care. But it's the one people use. And not the staff's fault, as far aswe couldtell...just UNDER STAFFED.

Fractured upper humerus, and it wasn't funny. Seeing ortho (who did her hips and shoulder) Monday if we can get in. Thankful for good sturdy Irish bones.

Have I ever stated publicly here that I feel incredibly fortunate to have insurance?

I was stupid and ate something that was left out too long on Monday. It’s now Thursday night, haven’t been able to eat or drink anything since then. Dehydrated, the ER filled me back up and hopefully with the right meds to fix the symptoms and knock out the cause. Bleh.

Bit of a dog fight today while my wife was working from home. My eufe broke it up, BUT...
She lost the end of her ring finger! And of course, I did find it once I got to cleaning up.

Let me tell you, those crime shows nail fake body parts. It looked fake, was real. Oof.

Various tests conducted. IV and antibiotics in the arm. Mom came to keep me company. Ultrasound definitely looked at exactly where it hurts. I think the Tylenol is wearing off though. #ERVisit
