MY BRAIN, IT IS NOW MUSH

[lumy12]

I saw Dr. Hottie today! And - and - OMG - he was sooooooooooo adorable!

First of all, when I was waiting to be seen, the X-ray lady didn't close the door behind her when she left, so I could see out into the hallway a bit. I saw the doc out of the corner of my eye (just a glimpse - no eye contact or anything) and he went out of his way slightly to poke his head in the room and smile at me charmingly and say he'd be right with me. Awwwww. He didn't have to do that.

Then I saw his assistant, and shortly after that he graced me with his presence. And you know how he greeted me when he came in? "So how's my favorite complicated patient?"

I'M HIS FAVORITE! EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

I laughed and said "don't you mean 'problem child' or 'troublemaker'?" He says he sees a lot of carpal tunnel, that gets old after a while. I'm a challenge so I'm fun ♥ Hee!

Of course, what he REALLY means is he's madly in luuuuuurve with me. Yup yup!

lolz - okay, so, some hand stuff: I'm doing well! Too well to consider any more surgery at this point. The X-ray showed him what he had hoped to see, with the way the bones are aligned. I took a pic with my camera phone:



See the holes? I didn't know those were there, I thought they would spackle them up after removing the plate. Apparently my body will do the spackling over time. Neato! I wish I'd taken a 'before' pic to show the plate (and the head of that one bone that he removed). Oh well. Doc is happy with my wrist's progress but it's still disappointing overall... oh gosh darn, guess I'll have to keep going in... ;)

I'm to continue physical therapy and keep wearing my regular splint at night, due to two of my fingers still "lagging". He asked if it affects my sleep, and no it does not, so yeah, I'll keep wearing it. But if I forget sometimes, no biggie (I've only forgotten once, when I was ubertired, and I felt guilty about it, heh). And I'm almost done with the finger splint, I'm wearing that 1-2 times a day now instead of 3, and when I master this tightness level I'm done.

And I'm supposed to see the doc again in 4 weeks, but he looked at the calendar and said "Oh, no, that's the week I'm going to be gone, can you make it 5?" LOL I don't know if I can "make it", can I survive without seeing him for that long? ;) Since I'm his FAVORITE he has to make SURE he sees me. Let the carpal tunnel people come in when he's gone, the assistant can handle those! :D

*le sigh* Happy Wendy is on a fangirl high <3

P.S. LJ isn't delivering notifications again. So I have to REMEMBER where I commented and go check for responses... lame!

Of course, what he REALLY means is he's madly in luuuuuurve with me. Yup yup!

LOL. Awww.

OMG they drilled holes in you bone? *shivers*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Back in 1995 when they put the wrist plate in to make the bone heal correctly. The break was too messed up to just fix with a cast >.>

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

LOL at your fangirliness! Sad to see your results were dissapointing, but clearly the pay-offs were worth it. I once had a crush on a guy who worked at the petrol station who looked EXACTLY like a young, hot, Havelock Vetinari... it was painful getting petrol there because I'd get teased SO badly by whoever was with me in the car... >_<

Hehe... the circles look strange... but kinda cool. Glad to see you're happy again! Clearly when you feel down, visiting the doctor's is the thing to do!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I'm not done yet, though! And I'm still improving. So it's all good.

LOL - that guy doesn't strike me as hot...? But who am I to poke fun after what I said on your LJ yesterday. *snicker*

Yup, definitely less bitchy today, we'll see what happens once the high wears off ;)

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

*O_O y-y-your icon!!!! WUV!!*

Yeah, there'll no dissing my fantasy men from you, young lady! Now when I've got BLACKMAIL material on my lj!Still, who's more likely to be blackmailed, the girl who asks for the palpy!porn or the girl who writes the palpy!porn...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ehehee thought you'd like that one <3

Good point. I think we should both tread carefully!

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

The x-rays look really amazing! Great idea to take a pic with the camera phone, though I'm surprised that they let you. I would have thought that there would be sensitive equipment or something such in the vicinity.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

The X-ray tech suggested it to me, actually! Heh. There's a sign on the door before you go back saying to turn off your cell phone, so I didn't even have it on. But maybe that's more so people aren't rude and take phone calls when the doctors are in with them?

So do you like bones or just hands? :D

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

*closes eyes* mmmm... hands... pale hands... *totally does NOT have a fetish*

Now I'm thinking of the fic you wrote with the "bones" prompt...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hee! You're pacing yourself with those fics, aren't you. I thought you were all done - OH GREAT DEPARTED SITH LORDS, I won't know if you commented on anything today! *pouts and whines*

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

*pouts and whines* I'm still waiting for Ziggy's reaction to the palpy!porn... :( But yep, I'm totally doing a proper, methodical excavation of your fic/art!lj... reading and (commenting) on EVERY SINGLE THING takes time.

Just check your lj "home" page, though. That has the three latest posts on your lj.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh are those still working? I figured if LJ boffs one thing it boffs them all.

Eventually I'll see everything because I still need to get in there and tag/organize things. It's on my To-Do List of Doom :)

ZIG IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS, GO REACT TO THE PR0NZORS

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

*does the happy dance* I just wrote around 2000 words!! In one epic-fast stream-of-conciousness-thingy!! ^_^ *points at her lj*

(if it's crap, that would be why)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I saw that!!! I'm linking it in jedi_news! (hopefully will read & comment at bedtime <3)

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

Ah~! I am interrupting the sterling work of the serious-minded editor as she busies herself linking all those mountains of Obi/Ani to her comm? :P

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, there is no such trash to post tonight!!

[caffeinatedkate.livejournal.com]

Damn, that means I'll have to read something icky instead.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

LJ needs to come up with a ban feature for O/A icons :P

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

The bones are very nice as well. They're essentially hands, after all, pared down to the, er, essentials. XD

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

And bones remind us of our favorite Sith Lord :D

By the way, I did remember to ask at therapy about the apologizing thing... she says she was never apologetic about it, ever. BUT she used to supervise students, and she had to tell them not to do it. Ha! So apparently it IS a n00b thing.

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

How obscenely fascinating that compassion could be considered a fault. I understand the logic behind the concept, but it is not, I think, a tenet that I could adhere to. The medical profession is definitely not for me!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair, showing compassion is fine, you're just not supposed to apologize for causing pain when you're doing it to help. My person will say "hang in there" or ask if someone's okay if it looks like they're possibly NOT okay. She doesn't really need to do that with me anymore. I'm getting better AND I'm tough! Bwah!

[albumsontheside.livejournal.com]

HE WISHES HE COULD DO A DOOKU WITH YOUR ANAKIN ARM :D

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

ASAFERUYGHB;EAOITHBSAE/BVDRAEGHJHKLJ,BVNJKLIUYTFYGJ

YOU HAD TO GO THERE, DIDN'T YOU!

[albumsontheside.livejournal.com]

YES. OBVS. WHAT ELSE AM I GOOD FOR?

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

F***ing Lj ate my first response!!! And I'm not feeling witty twice tonight! So, I'll just say I'm glad you are Dr. Hottie's favorite complicated patient. Have you talked to him, yet, about your other complicated issue???? teeeee heeee!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Damnit, LJ, no eating my shnookums's wit!

And noooooooooo he doesn't need to know about anything else!!!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Gee Wendy, what is your eyesight reading? 20/"he's madly in luuuuuurve with me. Yup yup!"?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

He so obviously is :P

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

You might want to ask for weaker drugs; the ones you're on are clearly affecting your vision.

[caffeinatedkate.livejournal.com]

Cool, X-Rays. Aren't they great quality? :D

So the hand is getting better but not so much better you can stop seeing the doctor? Sounds like your ideal situation, maybe it's doing it deliberately. :P

Also, I am proud to say I know what you mean by "spackle them up", my American is that good.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

And that's just the camera phone pic! Heh, it's amazing how fast they can produce those. I don't think I even waited 5 minutes.

LOL my hand is obeying the will of my subconscious? I... really wouldn't mind having more surgery, as long as I don't have to pay for it. I only care about the $$$. I wonder how long the office visits will continue.

I didn't realize "spackle" was an Americanism! Hehe.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Spackle is actually American slang based on a commercial product.

Be careful how you use spackle though since it does have a specific sexual definition associated to it. :P

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

O_O

Uh... do I even want to know what that definition is??

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Of course you do. Otherwise, how would Palps ever get to use it in conversations?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Maybe they didn't spackle in the GFFA, even in his crackverse?

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he has but you just didn't know that.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

:D
