Now that I've caught something, falling down a somewhat detailed report on the topic and hospitals. While outside, everything was frozen and the people fell down in rows, nothing happened to me there because I was so careful. But at home I just went quickly into the bedroom to get an eraser, in thought at a drawing that would not like me and Zack, I was long. And I was lucky, because the edge of the desk was only a few inches from my head and as my arm out for whatever reason, landed on me, I would not even support. The right hand was still holding the eraser Meanwhile ... The cat jumped up in fright from their deep sleep and then came back to me very carefully. After a while I struggled to me, held his hand under cold water and felt sorry for the rest of the time my now blue rather hip and left leg.
as Anand came home, he had to resist the first smile, because I am the wife of a shelf in the office, including file folders on the head falls in India hinunterstolpert stairs with the neck braking method for glass doors and running only last year, I rammed my little toe in full run to the phone in a bed post ... So obviously, I am inclined to self-destruction and a fall on the bedroom carpet as absolutely fit into the picture.
On Saturday evening began to hurt the thumb more than the hip and Anand selfsame fixed on the flat side of half a clothespin, which helped. We were with friends to visit, I drank a glass of wine, I was feeling good, the matter seemed settled. Sunday morning, however, was nothing more and a red ring around his finger did not look very healthy. I was still thinking of bad sprain, feared However, a break and then we step sparkled without breakfast (!) to the hospital emergency room because they are on the phone for immediate release one hour wait time promised. (I would not wait even until Tuesday in order to go to the doctor, because Monday is a holiday.)
get there, each new patient, first a paper tape with barcode through the hand-tied and my words were just on the receiving nurse this: I just want to know that nothing is broken.
I have my problems with doctors and hospitals, as a result of my chronic illnesses: migraine and asthma, in which each one only has to make credible not only a duly an der Schacke zu haben, sondern möglicherweise tatsächlich krank und fühle mich deswegen im Angesicht eines Arzttermins stets als der gesündeste Mensch der Welt. (Das letzte Mal war ich 2008 in Indien beim Arzt, Tier- und Zahnarztbesuche in Kanada nicht mitgerechnet.) Sie gaben mir etwas Eis für den Daumen, was ich sofort als Allheilmittel erkannte und natürlich hatte ich überhaupt gar keine Schmerzen/Probleme/Sorgen mehr.
Zweieinhalb Stunden und drei Röntgenaufnahmen später, verkündete mir der Arzt eine Knochenabsplitterung, wobei ich ihn so erstaunt angesehen haben muss, daß er mir lang und ausführlich meine Röntgenaufnahme erklärte, wo er den zweiten Bruch vermutet und den Knochensplitter zeigte, der jetzt quasi neben dem Gelenk herumliegt ... Danke, so genau wollte ich es gar nicht wissen, ich bin eigentlich nur hungrig. Anand wollte von mir danach jedoch wissen, was denn nun mit dem Knochensplitter passiert, bleibt der da, muß der raus... aber an die Frage hatte ich nicht gedacht, wie ich mir überhaupt nie Fragen vorstellen kann, die ich einem Arzt stellen würde, das kommt jeweils erst zwei Stunden nachdem ich zu Hause angekommen bin... Ich bekam eine Schiene, wir durften unseren Eigenanteil von $ 50 bezahlen und auf ging es, in die Kantine des Krankenhauses zum -mittlerweile- Mittagessen. Danach beschloss Anand, wenn wir schon direkt neben seinem Büro waren, kann er noch schnell ein paar Kalkulationen durchlaufen lassen, have occurred to him suddenly over the weekend and it went up to the Physics Department of the Cook building. There we met the secretary of the faculty, which currently has a death in the family and between funeral arrangements in Massachusetts and working in Vermont, had just gone over to work on Sundays. She wanted to be essential now to take care of me, I should lie down and rest, and came here before me like the worst Simulant ... I felt hurt but only the thumb.
We then slid carefully down the hill towards the city university (a two-day thaw period, followed by Frost has all the way since then transformed into slides) and arrived home I placed firmly at once, can open as much a rail on the arm but the daily life, ranging from Jack Zipper, let alone how to get themselves out of the jacket, hinder. Together with Linus, the hinfiebert for a day with diffuse disease before, I slept through it the rest of the day ... yes it can only get better:)
PS Linus nachwievor eats and cleans itself, so we did not suspend him until now the stress of a vet visit. If his behavior (a lot of sleep, fever, difficulty in movement) does not improve, we are him but not be able to save.
