emergency room explanations!
i was lying in bed thinking… hmmm… when one of my 15 pound ‘bowling balls’ jumps from the window sill onto my tummy and bounces off…he could break a rib. he really could. so i go to the emergency room. and they go … huh…how’d you do THAT? do i just look at them and plead the 5th? do i act crazy and they forget they ever asked the question? or do i tell them the truth… ? :-D
and when they listen to me breathe, and they always do that you know, they’ll then see the little wee scars i probably have on my back from elsa climbing me relentlessly during her ‘climbing’ phase… do i explain THAT? or just roll my eyes back in my head and pretend to pass out?! the picture by the way is of Elsa the body climber… she’s actually being relatively good in this picture (cuz she’s ASLEEP!)
now the infection in my elbow last year (which sent me to the e.r.) that has led to persistent bursitus i can explain rationally ok? really…. sigh… no… actually i had to go in there and tell them…. i got slashed cuz the kitty did not want to take his medicine. i did not doctor the slash properly and now i am here in your fine facility making new friends.
took mom to the e.r. cuz she fell down and cracked her head. they go “ma’am how’d you fall?” we just looked at each other… uh… she tripped over a cat…. we didn’t have to roll our eyes that time… the doctor did it for us.
took mom to the e.r. once a couple years ago cuz she got a good little bite from a kitten while giving him some medicine (they don’t much like that pink stuff) and the place got infected (if you get a slashed or a bite, please put some bactine or something on it… really…and learn how to wrap a cat in a towel to give meds … best advice i ever got!). the doctor is all “well we need to send a report to animal control” and blah blah blah. he got an attitude. i had to drag mom outta there cuz she had her hands around his neck telling him ain’t nobody calling animal control on a 7 week old kitten and if she by crickey gets rabies and dies then by God she gets rabies and dies! and she’ll be glad for it! i won’t go into any more details… suffice it to say it wasn’t pretty. kinda fun though…. hahaha!
had to go once because my eye was messed up…. why? cat fight on my head after i got in bed. almost got hooked pretty good but it missed my actual EYEBALL by just a tad. naw, i didn’t get any funny looks when i told ‘em about THAT.
we’ll talk about the fire department in another post. :-D
