Tired
Long day. And it's only 1:30!
A few of us went out last night after badminton since one of the people there is moving to the Bay Area to work for Roche. She had a little too much to drink, not so much that she was absurdly drunk but enough that we could tell. She seemed fairly normal, but the things she said were a little...different. After eating we went to a small park on Queen Anne Hill overlooking downtown, and I think I got a couple good pictures of the Seattle skyline at night. That was beautiful -- if only the moon had been a tiny bit lower when we were there it would have been perfect.
Despite our friend's assurances that she was ok, we didn't relent and drove her home. That is, I'd carpooled with another friend, so she drove the friend's car and I followed. Then we went home. I got in a little after 1:30. And then had to get ready for bed for a 9am dermatologist appointment downtown. 8:06am bus since I had to be there early to deal with paperwork.
The facility I was at, Harborview Medical Center, is a teaching hospital, and it was fairly obvious. But the staff and physicians were all friendly yet professional which made me happy. I felt like I was on display for a while as they invited people in to look at me, but they made sure to be respectful. I was introduced to everyone who came in and they all thanked me as they left. Then they did two skin biopsies on my right elbow. So I now have 2 stitches down there -- they said you don't necessarily need one for the 3mm holes, but they like to use them anyway. I can either have the nurses at the local facility remove them in like 10 days, or they gave me a sutureu removal kit so I can do it myself. Except I'd hafta do it left handed. In a mirror. Hmm...
The actual procedure was done by a 4th year med student. I didn't feel a thing after the anesthesia, and there didn't seem to be much blood, so I'm reasonably content. I just hope they can figure it out from the samples they took.
It just would have been nice to break 5hrs of sleep, especially since I'm supposed to go to Mt. Rainier tomorrow morning.
I wonder if the anesthesia has worn off on my elbow yet? I think she used kinda a lot.
