Orthopedic Visit..
So.. I set out for my ortho appt today for my knee. My husband is in town so I get to drag him along for the fun.

I'm standing on my prospective "X" 6' away from the person in front, all masked up and just trying to wait patiently. My husband asks if hes even allowed to go in? "pfft. I don't know the rules anymore, I guess we will see." Theres a couple behind us so maybe were safe.

In reality, that was his nice way of asking if I'd mind if he just waited in the truck!🤣One by one we get screened thru one door (notified he COULDNT ENTER,so he got his way after all 🥰) and I was shuffled off into what's now just a massive empty waiting room with one chair per wall...the waiting room chairs, what options there was, are officially the time out corner for now on! 🙊

I get my turn, I sanitize my hands at the station just past front door screening and I wait in my prospective "Time out corner" till I'm flagged down.

The lovely nurse comes to get me and shes trying to hurry me off to any room available..I say hurry...but its orthopedics, I'm in a knee brace.. theres NO HURRYING possible! So now I'm just amused with myself TRYING to keep up with this sweet young lady.

We get to the room, she explains since I didnt bring my xrays we will have to do another. No worries here, I'd rather pay for xrays from a specialist than urgent care doc in a box scenario any day.

So she tells me to hold tight, xray tech will be right in to grab me. "No problems, thank you!"

So ANOTHER delightful nurse comes to grab me, only this time we are going on a deep space mission thru this building of mazes to get to xrays.. of which she assures me thru laughter shes not gonna make me hobble off on my own and figure out where my room was. Whew, thank you lady! I can check that off the mental list of shit to figure out!
Finally in for Xray and as we are "trying" to get my too tall towering ass into position... I noticed the one chick quickly disappeared and I suddenly felt panic.

I immediately stop what Im doing on this table to look for her...found her! I forget how utterly ridiculous I am sometimes!

This poor womans just trying to do her job as PROFESSIONALLY as possible and now my disgraceful display on how not to do things in the future to prevent said injury has this woman hiding behind a wall so I can't see her laughing at me!☠😂😂😂

Oh, I usually warn people when they meet me but this was a new day, new facility, sun was shining, I was happy as a clam with a bum knee! She didnt get THAT warning..oops👀🤦‍♀️😂

I forgot to wear my "keep your shit together while in public mask" Needless to say, they've never seen anyone, especially an Adult, as hyper as I am let alone entertaining. I would apologize in advance for any delays anyone received following me..but I'm pretty sure my 15 minutes of entertainment trumps whatever bad news you need to share. Sure, you can piss them off later and delay everyone elses visit...but soon your tantrum will be forgotten...but my "bullshit" will keep them smiling and laughing for much longer!🥰🌞🌈🌻🌹🤣
