Those little intern fellas are interesting folks. Either they act as if they're the epitome of knowledge, or they act as if they ain't got the brains G-d gave geese. (I apologize to geese for that saying.....)
Seriously.
"Has anyone told you that the break isn't healing?"
I had that 'blink and stare', pausing as I tried to figure out if I wanted to play with him or not....
"......as in 'not at all'. Has someone told you that? How about I show you the CT..."
CT's are kinda funky. I had no clue what I was looking at until he showed me the view of the waist down--and pointed at the femur with it's very evident break in the bone.
THIS is when I tapped on the screen and said "oh look.....an unhealed femur"
And THIS is where things went haywire.....
Did I know it was a touch screen?!
Notsomuch.....
He's carrying on trying to get the CT photo back, I'm apologizing for touching--I'm forbidden 'touching' of things in stores for this very reason. Sorrysorrysorry!
......And in walks the doc!!
*laughing*
I gotta say it was quite the comical moment with 'ain't got the brains G-d gave geese' trying to LOOK like he had the brains and me shaking my head, attempting to look innocent and saying "I dunno--- but I think he lost my CT scan..."
No worries--I told on myself right after the remark.
RIGHT before the doc shook my hand and said "Let's do it--we gave it a good try, but it's time."
The talk of plates, screws, nails and hospitalization somehow made its way to he-who-has-big-ears was sitting and he joined us for the permission giving and signatures.
I offered to show him the pictures--but SOMEone wasn't able to pull the screen back up.
*laughing*
Ah well....we tried.
Sometimes things just....stay broken, I told the little intern fella. (yes, I'm a bit cagey at times....)
Uh huh.......
*laughing* That sucker was still whirling in a blue dance when we exited.

At least now you know what's in store. And I wish I could have seen the intern.
Mel, I was giggle so hard at your 'touching the screen' and having your photo disappear!
"-I'm forbidden 'touching' of things in stores for this very reason. Sorrysorrysorry!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Same here!
And I'm also one of those people that when there is a sign saying "Please Don't Touch"....I TOUCH!
Libra thing perhaps?
True dear lady, you gave it a good try. You gave it a GREAT try, in fact.
I'm sending ya a super big HUG right now.....
(((((((((((( YOU )))))))))))))
And know that you are loved!

Hm, I suppose you've got to laugh. Hope all goes smoothly.
I have rather the opposite problem, in that I can't get it into my head that my husband's laptop doesn't have a touchscreen.
Oh Mel, that's - I don't know, half way between a total bummer and a sort of horrible relief?
I suppose at least you don't have to keep trying to make the symptoms fit the wrong result.
And yes, you've got to laugh otherwise we'd all be crying.
((((((((((((((Mel))))))))))))))
On the other hand, I'm absolutely loving you touching the touch screen - they might have told you!!!
I'm sorry to hear about the broken bone but this story was hilarious. "Some things stay broken", I am sure you got the evil eye from the intern! Wish I was there to see that!
What a tough appointment. Somehow it seems that the intern was provided to give a little comic relief....I have no doubt you needed it. That wasn't the answer we were hoping and praying for....but we'll trust and believe for an incredible recovery. I'm so sorry Me. [hugs]
p.s. Wish I could have seen the look on the intern's face when you tapped away the scan. :)
oh man are you an ornery patient!
Our thoughts and prayer are with you my dear friend.
Bill and Vi
