01 May 07 - 01:39 AM (#2040054) Subject: BS: Me Sorcha is broke From: Sorcha Yes, surely we all are, but he managed to break his right arm today. Radius, just below the elbow joint. I only glanced at the X rays, but I don't 'think' the actual joint is involved. He is seeing an Osteo Dr in AM to decide whether to reduce and cast or surgery and pin. I am supposed to be in Cheyenne at 0930 for nerve conduction tests (carpal) but if I can't go to sleep I'm postponing that. I'll have to postpone my carpal surgery (no date yet) until after he gets some use of HIS right arm anyway. He said he learned that the 'ground is fookin' hard and I don't bounce like I used to'. Sheesh. S@#T Reduction needed here. |

01 May 07 - 01:55 AM (#2040062) Subject: RE: BS: Me Sorcha is broke From: Sorcha Yes, Brian. He doesn't bounce well anymore. Hope you can make it this summer. He's bummed cause he can't ride his motorcycle but we 'fixed' the problem of him working too many hours....... |

01 May 07 - 09:26 AM (#2040295) Subject: RE: BS: Mr Sorcha is broke From: Rapparee I still want to know if the canoe is okay. You don't get a free canoe everyday. Just ask my brother. He got a free cedar canoe, only he had to do a little work on it. Like replace all the strakes, which didn't come with the canoe. His wife finally told him to "get that junk out of the garage!" While he'll be okay, Sorcha will have to put up with him. At least she's a good shot.... |

Maybe they can transfer you to Vegas to chase down one-armed bandits. Or else, maybe confine you to a paddled cell...... And Sorcha, without your carpal tunnel, where will your goldfish find any shade this summer?, he asked koi-ly. Good healing and moral re-armament to the both of you! |

01 May 07 - 02:35 PM (#2040524) Subject: RE: BS: Mr Sorcha is broke From: Sorcha Oh Severn, you are hopeless! The hospital got a big charge out of 'he broke the long arm of the Law' tho. OK, the top of the radius has slid up into the joint. We're taking him to Laramie (150 miles) either tomorrow eve or early Thurs morning for surgery. Plates and pins. LOTS of PT later. Rap, the canoe is fine. Never accept a free canoe. It'll cost you a LOT. I don't even want to know how much. |

They don't seem to help, and the right wrist swells so bad that the bracelet, made to fit snug, is just too tight. I do keep trying them, tho. Can't wear them at work either as I stick to everything. Steel tables, sinks, oven, pans.....LOL. I'll get it fixed eventually. One day at a time right now. |

His mom will be here in about 3 hrs. Now, WHAT the hell would cause an onboard computer, car, 06 Saturn Vue, to just quit? Car would turn over but not run. Key button/door locks wouldn't work, headlights wouldn't shut off. FINALLY got hold of Saturn and they said to disconnect the battery and re connect it. That worked, but of course it DID pick the most awful day to have a nervous breakdown. Yes, it was at the Surgery Center when we were trying to get him out of there and into a motel room. Owen only looks like Ralphie when him Mom gives him a Mowhawk. |

Our records regarding your insurance tell us that your portion of this will be $282 blah blah. Again, please note this is only an estimate. You may owe more or recieve a refund. We would appreciate you taking care of this matter as soon as possible. Please include the section below with your payment' Self addressed envelope, with the hospital's return address. No stamp. I wrote on the return portion: You must be joking. I don't pay estimates. I pay Final Bills after the insurance has settled and I have recieved an EOB. I certainly am NOT paying a non itemized 'non bill' estimate. I didn't put a stamp on it either....it will be 'returned to Sender' which is where it is supposed to go anyway! I can't believe it!!! |
