What might be making you a tad apprehensive, but might not, as it's too soon to tell

[monster]

it was the number nerd thing they liked -my job to make sure all the products scan correctly, UPCs etc are correct, and shelf labels are correct and sales labels are timely etc. not necessary my job to do all of those things personally, but I won't really be the boss of anyone, I'll just have shitty jobs for them when they're sent over (because they've been bad somewhere else ). Detention Mistress if you like

But knowing my luck I'll arrive on Weds and it will be nothing like that..... but at least there can't possibly be any predecessor's shit to sort out.... can there?

Right, you'll be setting precedents daily, or do it Wednesday then say just do it like we always have.

Was to have lunch with my granddaughter tomorrow and she put it off till Thursday. Best laid plains are WTF. But it saved me from looking for my cleanest dirty shirt and shaving in morning.

It's so nice when they start to get good. Hearing pleasant music instead of grating noise is such a treat.

My finger.

I injured it almost a month ago. The index finger on my dominant hand doesn't move away from the middle finger with any strength at all.

I overtaxed it during a night of rope climbing with the Scouts. I spent hours belaying others, and while holding the rope tightly for hours on end, making sure they didn't fall to their deaths, I started to feel a mild burning sensation between my thumb and index finger. That finger hasn't worked right ever since. No numbness at all. All the sensations are there, it just doesn't move in one specific direction. It feels fine though. No pain.

I finally got around to seeing a doctor this morning, for a routine physical, and asked him about it. He confirmed that it was fucked up and gave me the names of some specialists.

I had switched to a very high deductible insurance plan a year ago to save money on outrageously expensive premiums, and I'm almost certain that this will not be covered by insurance until I meet that $3k deductible.

So I'm a tad apprehensive that I might need surgery followed by a long recovery with an immobilized dominant hand, and that it will cost a lot.

But it's too soon to tell.

Saw a specialist today. She told me to rub some dirt on it Nancy. It may take 6 more months, but it will be just fine on its own. Shit just takes time to heal when you're getting older.



Yay!
