Interesting week part deux

Aug 20, 2009 11:31

Today I went back to the surgeon for the "last" time.  I told him about the sutures causing the staph infection.  he appologized and said that sometimes they can take up to a year to dissolve.

Now wait a minute....when he first put them in, he said that they would dissolve in 10 to 14 days.  The second visit, he said it could take up to 6 weeks for them to dissolve.  Last visit he said to give them another couple of weeks and they should be right as rain.  Today it's a year.  :sigh:  Why can't he just say that my body is rejecting it totally and they will probably never dissolve?

So as I was leaving, I noticed two things in the parking lot that were really interesting.  First there was a couple selling "pills" out of their convertable.  I was in scrubs.  WTF?  I wanted to say, "I can get way better if I wanted to," but I thought better of it.   Second, there was a sticker on a car that read "My son's in the Drum Line!" and had a picture of an anthropormorphic  wheaten Scottie playing a marching snare.  I had such a fangirl moment a'la "Of Strings and Kevlar" that I completely forgot about the couple selling drugs.  My cell phone wouldn't take a picture or there would be one here.  It was just such a sudden shock that I had to laugh.  The couple selling drugs thought I was laughing at them.  I quickly got in my car and sped out.

Have any of you had an unplanned fangirl moment?
