today

Took daughter to the ortho doctor today.

We get to the office and they inform me I'm scheduled at another of their offices.

I live about a 10 minute walk from the office I was being told to leave to go to the other office.......and I was handed a stack of papers to fill out while in the car on the way to the office 20 minutes away by car.

We get to office number 2 and am told I'm late and can't be seen today. I WAS 30 minutes past my appointment but not due to fault of my own..................AND...... the last time I was at their office, I waited in the waiting room on them an hour and 15 minutes past MY appointment time................so I told the chick behind the desk just that. She looked at me like too bad so sad.....................so I looked at her like             fuck you, you fucking bitch( at least I'm not saying it out loud)...................I even told them we were leaving tomorrow for Colorado hoping they'd go that extra mile to help........no help. So I thought fuck you, fucking ass licks.........and I rescheduled...............and then went to my car........called another of this groups offices.......and it was  a little miracle because I recognized the voice who answered the phone. It was a girl I'd gone to high school with. And although we weren't friends.......we had many mutual friends, and still do............. We were friendly with each other back in the day. We even have a mutual friend dying from breast cancer.  I said "Tammy, this is Sandy W. from high school. This IS you isn't it?" And it WAS her! (Why/how I recognized her voice after so many years is beyond me).............. "Hi Sandy! How are you?"

So I went through my story with her. She didn't give me much hope because her doctor was getting ready to leave.............but she asked him anyway if he'd stick around to see my daughter.......he said yes.........and so to his office we went...............he checked her X-rays.......manipulated her leg a bit.........aspirated blood and such from around her knee.........ordered a stat MRI.........re wrapped and immobilized her leg......told us to postpone our trip for a bit.........and so now we're waiting on the MRI Center to call with an appointment.

My guess is that they will have daughter scheduled for surgery by the end of next week.

I hope I'm wrong!

While daughter was still numb, we ran to WalMart and Kohl's to pick up a few things............and since daughters best friends parents are financially strapped right now (both are in school working for a better future), and since said friend helped and has catered to daughter all day long,  we bought her a new bathing suit and sunglasses.............she's a good kid!

I'm tired and plan on resting and reading away the rest of the evening.
