Hi, guys. This time, it's Kelly,

subluxate.

Starr called into Geico today about the fact that her arm is broken and she's supposed to have today and tomorrow off. Her boss was cool with this; HR was not. The nurse called and informed her that, unless she went to the occupational clinic downtown, her time off wouldn't be covered and she could be fired. (Bitch.) So we went off to the clinic. (It's my day off.)

Mind, Starr had thrown up once by this time.

We waited in the lobby for...an hour and forty minutes, during which time she threw up five more times. They got us into a room after the fifth time, mostly because they could hear her. And then we waited another forty minutes for the doctor, during which time she threw up twice more. The doctor finally showed, felt her arm, looked at the X-rays, etc. The verdict? BIG SURPRISE, her arm is broken. It's a chip fracture on her radius. Now we're waiting to hear from the orthopedist about an appointment to see if she needs it set or anything.

As an aside, she's supposed to be going back to work unless Geico okays the time off. I have Thoughts on the subject, but it's her journal, not mine.

I don't know what the term I'm looking for is, but my mom fought with the hospital she works for when she was out with a broken wrist and surgery and then a torn ligament and surgery. It was a mess.

GECKO, YOU HAVE LET ME DOWN.

Pfft, I defriending you now and am totally BFF with newts.

(Seriously, I am so pissed)

I'm serious ... if you want me to go downstairs & choke a bitch for you in HR, just say the word. They tremble when they see me anyway .. no one in HR can forget the incident from 7 years ago. Believe me they don't want to incur my wrath again. *eg*

Seriously ... I hope you get feeling better. I got you a little prezzie .. was holding onto it 'til Christmas, but this seems like an emergency need f cheering-upage. I'll stop by Wednesday after work. *hugs*

Not a good day huh, sweetie?

*snuggles*

PLEASE DO. They tried to make her wait to see an orthopedist until next week, because the one who usually does workman's comp is out of town. Her boss had to yell at everyone to get her an appointment for tomorrow.

Hope Starr gets well soon. :-)
