Further adventures of the tiger mutt
11 years ago
Okay, full on update of the good news bad news variety that is of the bi-polar variety this season (haha, get it, snowpocalypse to 60s in a week okay shut up)
Trouble was caused by the snowpocalypse by pushing finals for EMT class back a solid week with no school. What that meant was while we gained an extra week to study for it we only had a night to practice for our state board practicals that was now the day after our test. All that said I passed my finals, my state board, and the national test so I should just be paperwork finalized away from having my EMT number.
Other news, had a go cart at work malfunction take off at top speed with me on it. Rather than hit the pole at the end of the lane and get thrown I tried to abandon and in the process broke my wrist. I've been told that according to the security video its amazing more didn't happen. Just like the last five breaks it was a right extremity, this one the radial at the joint. Good news and terrifying news is I was sent by the orthopedic clinic to a local hand specialist (dad thought the nearest one was Kentucky, not that common). This means best possible care for the injury, but this also means this break was odd enough an orthopedic wanted me to see a specialist which is terrifying. We're waiting for Workmans Comp, holiday season, etc to get through to get a CT scan to see if I need surgery. He said its a 50/50 chance, but some of the things he said makes me think it was just to be comforting. Oh well, will know after Christmas.
Going to see family this weekend. Seeing less family than usual because of... complications... but *shrugs* is life.
That is all

*hugs back* definitely. If not I'd have had to splint it myself and call it good.

Aye, according to those that saw it, looked like I hit my face. But no injury there. Heh, and I'll admit, once pain goes down I'm not to well known for taking care of injuries. Started welding last broken wrist.
