got back a bit ago getting the hep lock in, will use it until we figure out the best course of action

made a fool of myself in the ER...ortho sent me there to have the line in, they wanted me to wait the usual time of 6-8 hours...
I refused to wait that long and told them they could call the surgeon and explain why they couldn't take 15 minutes (at best) to do it...no, I don't feel I'm any better than anyone else but there are times when you do need to stand up for yourself...
the surgeon didn't want to wait until Monday anyway, told me I'd be in and out. held him to it in my own petulant way

rats! ya know? sometimes
sometimes it's hard to be brave or whatever
I'm more angry about this happening than sad...disappointed in a strange way, too.

FUBAR...for a few days
then I'll bounce back
