My article submission over the last year has gone down immensely and I miss everyone at Search Warp. I would apologize but it is not my fault. I can't help that I have been running around with a broken wrist for almost a year now.
Will someone please remind me to send the old orthopedic doctor a thank you note? I have plenty of other ideas, yet that wouldn't be to Christian of me to follow through on what I am capable of thinking. It just really upsets me that I now will have to have surgery and have wasted money on the other doctor who by the way didn't like my health insurance. I know, I know, I should be grateful that I even have insurance.
1) I would call in using different names and make new appointments for each name I could think of.
2) I would call again with as many different insurance names and personal names and make appointments.
3) I would call and insist on what his credentials are before I made an appointment.
4) Finally I of course, would not keep any of these appointments. After all, he wouldn't have my real name or phone number.
There are many more things I could think of, yet I need to let this one go. DARN!
I realize that my wrist is not completely his fault and I should be grateful that I even have health insurance. However, I am not looking forward to another surgery. I just thank the good Lord that I changed doctors and he is very thorough and won't put up with my bologna. Yes, I am quite impish, just don't tell anyone as I am apt to deny it.
Now I am going to go get that thank you card but would still love to hear some feedback from you about what you might do.

You naughty girl - how about ordering a pizza saying you are the office manager :-) Glad to have you back, missed reading the thoughts that go on in that warped brain of yours :-) Love you Michellie - you were supposed to get ride of that owie!That is a wonderful idea T! I should order the most expensive pizza for that office. Hehe. I was supposed to get over that owie but I didn't. I will be talking to the surgeon on Monday. I guess I will have to find something clever to write about before this all happens. Then while I am down, I might come up with more ideas. Like Bruce said it is true about idle hands.Love you bunches,Michelle

I hope your surgery goes well and the recovery is quick!Thank you so much Brianna!I will definitely "go girl" and I am sure the surgery will go well. We have a have a BIG GOD. Also, the surgeon is the same one that did my carpal tunnel and he was awesome with a sense of humor.Love, hugs and blessings,Michelle

Hi Michelle,I loved your article!!! By the way, there have been 67 phone calls from the doctor's office wanting to confirm your appointment. Apparently they have caller ID.Love ya!MarkThey are not waiting to confirm because of caller id. I know how to block it when needed before making a phone call. You know me better than that silly:-)
Enjoyed your article. Keep me posted on your surgery.Love you, Mom
Bummer about the additional surgery. Maybe the quack was the lowest student in this doctoral class? Love the humor in your article and clearly feel the dismay. It's kind of how I felt when I wrote my bold and out there article about theft at the party store.
