(Actually now with PhD, but Doctor of Philosophy just doesn't have the same evil ring, does it?)Dentist yesterday, leg x-ray today, innards ultrasound today. TheLimey has to take time off work to ferry me around (can't drive w/broken leg) in addition to having to pick up and drop off Limelet which I used to do. Cab costs $25 round trip, which is okay for maybe one trip. Not several.
Dentist: half of fillings done; the worst half. Glad to finally have it over. Originally called them in February--long, long wait, and also had to reschedule once.
Leg x-ray: thank heavens, looks like no surgery on ligaments (or indeed on leg overall) will be needed, and all that foot bruising is pretty normal. Got lesson in difference between tendons and ligaments (more elastin fibers in tendons, was it?) Four weeks, then velcro type brace thing. Wonder if I'll be able to drive then? Allowed to hobble about without crutches a little bit in the house. Good, because I was already.
Ultrasound: the genius schedulers scheduled me for the ultrasound, but not for someone to take 10 minutes to look at it afterwards nor to tell me what the results are. Now I have to go in again tomorrow morning, more Limey worktime eroded as well as yet another medicalized frikkin' day in the week for all three of us. I saw some scary words on the ultrasound that the tech was unable to discuss with me (as always), but Google says that it will probably be alright. Still no idea whether I'll need a surgery for the original issue for that particular innard, though, which the appointment tomorrow will provide. Theoretically.
Played online in a daze after appointments instead of hobbling about in the kitchen, making dinner. Uh-oh.
Discovered there's already something called a Filthy Martini so we'll have to come up with another name for our invention. Grubby Martini? I doubt there's a Coke-a-rita, though. Well, maybe.
