Elisabeth hurt her finger in gym today. In true Elisabeth style, she thought it was broken and has been 'wondering' how badly it was damaged since she got home from school. After much convincing to buy her a splint (she even got Nurse Rebekah) in on it. Of course, we ended up at Wal-Mart with a clerk who HAD to know WHY she was wearing a splint.
Clerk: What happened?
Me: She hurt it in gym. A ball hit the tip of it.
Clerk: Did you take her to the doctor?
Me: No, I think it is okay.
Clerk: Oh, and you are a doctor?? (in a snotty tone)
Me: She can move it and we consulted a nurse (who happens to live in Alaska and didn't exactly see it).
Clerk: What if it is broken?
Me: It's not.
Clerk: How do you know?
Me: Trust me. It is fine.
Clerk: Are you an M.D.??? Are you a doctor??
Me: No. I am mother who is not paying another 20 dollar co-pay to have the doctor tell me there is NOTHING wrong with her DAMN finger. Now give me my DAMN money and shut your DAMN mouth!!! Okay..I didn't say it using those exact words but she understood what I meant by the nasty look I gave her.
What a DAMN witch. You should have asked her when she had the time to get her social work degree.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading about Bella's birth parents. Still thinking about what to do for Aimée. Seeing that I never met her mother, I am afraid that our agency/orphanage/family would be angry if I tried to contact her birht mother through the service you suggested. If I knew nobody would be pissed off, I would do it in a flash. I completely understand why you are doing what you are doing and I think it is very good for Bella regardless of what she choses to do with the info.
Yes, I did get the red dress from Jacqueline. It is so sweet. I guess it is the dress that just keeps on giving. I got lots of compliments on it!!!
WOW...what are people thinking when they say things like that?! Mind your own business!! I cannot believe some people!
ReplyDeleteWe HAVE to get together! I cannot believe that we have been home nearly a year already. You need to fill me in on your birthfamily contact. I met Son last year. I would love to hear your reasoning behind using them, in ADDITION to CAS? We will talk!!
