Going to an orthopedic Monday morning, 9:45 am.
The office is next door. (I’m in 1207; they’re at 1212 on the same street) That’s the way…. uh-huh, uh-huh… I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Workman’s comp starts covering on the 22nd day out. I don’t think I’ll be gone nearly that long, but I am glad that they’re paying for the doctor and all prescriptions. HR at FMM never was on top of things like the *at all*. It’s amazing to work for a company that’s got its act together. Workman’s comp also is willing to pay for any travel I have to do. I’m glad that I wasn’t terribly hurt, but I feel much more secure knowing they’re on the job.
Poop… my paid links aren’t being renewed this month. Ah well, off my page they go. It was nice while it lasted…$160 in free money over 8 months. I’d gladly work with them again in the future.
Since I removed the links, I’ve officially replaced the old index page with the more earthy-one that I’ve had in the works forever and a day. I’m going to set up my other pages using the same style sheet, eventually. I’m also contemplating the insertion of the welcome message inside the title-graphic.
6:29 am trying the later launch…the extra 30 of sleep is a good thing, i know that. Up a bit later tonight because of D and Ciara’s birthday party at the fibber island annex (Polly gone mad)
6:48 am this is the crunch time- to get there by 7. I’m assured that it is, though I’ll be more comfortable once confirmed.
7:01 am made it, just enough time to buy a ticket and hop on. Contact HR about the discount program. Also, pick up shampoo, TP and petty cash on the way home. This week, get another pair of pants, 2 pr. Socks,2 shirts, underwear. Dreamt last night of losing a tooth… All that was left shaped like a moth’s. Wing made of enamel. It was sore but not painful.
7:53 am in with time to spare, even though the cab from the train station didn’t take plastic, so we had to side track to a nearby ATM. Brett and Jeff both came in shortly after me…. good to see early starters!
12:17 pm at the hospital. I tripped over a power cord, landed on my left knee, and managed to further knock my back out of whack.
12:42 pm just had a fit of hysteria from being strapped down for the last 2 hours. My nose is now full of mucus, and i can’t get any tissues. I hate this. I want out now. At least my arms are free, but i still feel trapped here.
2:05 pm out of radiology… Unstrapped at last. Waiting now for what i assume is a shot of an anti-inflammatory.
2:17 pm no shot? Just a prescription for vicodin and a referral to another doctor. Good grief. The referral is for a Delray doctor…I’m also not to report back to work until Monday. I need to Call Donna (xt 102?) re: workman’s comp docs
4:04 pm waited about 2 hours for a cab to the tri-rail… Gave up, went to the bus stop, and got ride there in under 5 minutes. Lesson learned? F yellow cab in Delray Beach and hooray for palm tran.
4:28 pm boo for tri-rail’s 20-minute tardy train and ticket machine that can neither read my visa card, and gives 17.25 in change back to me in Susan b Anthony dollars.
4:39 pm “boarding in approximately 10 minutes ”
4:51 pm aboard. Hm. Days like this (Years like this) make me disbelieve in a “non- reincarnation” one-life karma. I will admit that 2000-now has been mostly great. January 2003-now has been mostly poor save for a few delightful bright spots. I foresee more good than bad in the year to come. A new job, some new friends, and good thoughts are there.
6:04 home! Cute kids on the train… entertaining teens on the way home from school. I found out the mystery package is a returned Christmas box I sent mid-December. I wonder now if all the Valentine’s Day prezzies made it?
