Why do I bother?
So here is what is going on so far...
McMan maybe getting back together with his ex. I think I overheard something to that effect when I was watching the Yankee game at the bar this evening.
I saw Bartender a week ago and he did not even say hello. It may have been because he was busy, but I don't think the bar was all that busy. I mean is it asking alot for him to come over and see a quick hello, or at the very least to give me a wave from across the bar. Nothing. Which is slightly amazing considering the signals (I thought) I got from him before he switched bars. Or maybe absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder.
I am pretty sure that nothing will happen with Cajun Girardi. It is just a feeling I get. I mean he is very cute, but as far as I know he has not been "associated" with anyone since I met him, but something is telling me that he has. But again that means nothing, it's just a feeling I have. None of my friends can really figure out what his type is. Quite frankly I am a little upset with him. I am trying to figure out why he is always laughing at me. Seriously, I am not that funny. I don't do anything that would require so much laughter. And I certainly hope that my looks aren't inciting his humor. That would suck. On a positive note, he can crack my thumbs, and I make him do it every day. God I wish I could crack my own thumbs!!!
That is really the extent of all of my (non)possibilities. I really need to stop looking, but then again, if I am not looking, then I am not "putting myself out there". It is a catch 22.
On another note, my finger is actually broken. When I hurt it playing football two weeks ago I went to Fremont Medical Center to have it looked at. The doctor initially told me he thought it was broken, but he wanted a radiologist to confirm. He put me in a splint (which held my finger immobile in a straight position) and told me to follow up on Monday or Tuesday of the following week. So on Monday I called to see if I needed to come in, etc. When I called I was told that the radiologist didn't see a fracture or any dislocation. So I made an appointment for the following evening. After waiting two hours to see a doctor, I am told to get one of those stress balls and squeeze it a few times so that I can get full range of motion back in my finger. He also tells me that, and I quote, "I don't want to scare you but if you are still in pain next week, I want you to come back, because there is a slight chance that you have tendon damage." He then starts to try and explain what tendons are. At this point I stopped him and said I knew what a tendon was. He gave me a prescription for Naproxen and said to make an appointment for the following week. Since I was completely unsatisfied with this response, I decided to see an orthopedic.
I saw Dr. Vahey today. Here is the amazing part, he was running a little bit behind. So having worked for an orthopedic, I assumed that I would be waiting a few hours. Not so. I was in and out in a little over an hour. He looked at my xray briefly. Asked me what happened, glanced at my xray again and said, it's broken. I have what is called a volar plate avulsion fracture. This doctor took the time to draw me a picture of my finger so I understood what was going on. He also told me that I should never have been put in a splint. The splint is the reason why my finger is stiff now. I have scar tissue below the joint where the volar plate (a peice of cartilage that acts like bone) gets stuck when trying to move. Had I not been put in a splint, scar tissue may not have been able to form there. So I now get to have about two and a half weeks of physical therapy. Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:30. After my last PT appointment I will also have my last appointment with Dr. Vahey if needed. He was a great doctor who I would recommend to anyone who needs to see an orthopedic who specializes in hands or wrists. So my fear from last night has been relieved.
