It's Wednesday, and oh lord, it's early. My ortho appointment is at 7:30, and they want me there at 7, so I got up at 5. It wasn't that hard, since I didn't sleep great anyway.
I'm nervous. There's so much unknown right now. Will my doctor be nice? Will I like him? Will he want to do surgery? What kind of surgery. How long will the recovery process be? Will be be upset if I have to push it out a ways because of work? Will he give me pain meds in the meantime?
My shoulder was super pissed last night, because I attempted to empty my small office garbage can into the trash bag. I'm assuming that the doctor is going to do some range of motion stuff today, so I will definitely be taking ibuprofen this morning. I can't take the tramadol, since I'm driving and I want to be clear headed for the appointment anyway.
Work was fairly quiet yesterday. I ended up at 45 calls, which is less than my normal 55. I kept getting calls from Hopkins clinics each with 3 or more patients to schedule, which slowed me down a bit. I don't mind doing those, since you can actually tell them what you're doing and where the challenges are, So that's helpful.
It's going to be tough to come straight from the doctor's office and hop directly on the phone, but I'll manage. Then, tonight, I'll have an hour between work and game. It might be a lot, but we'll see.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get myself together for the doctor. Gotta look like a responsible adult who isn't a fucking trash fire. Everyone have an amazing Wednesday!
