FINALLY! A glimmer of hope in the form of an orthopedist

This doesn’t seem like something one would be excited about, but I’m ecstatic! I’m FINALLY going to see an orthopedist!!

FOR MY STUPID, DUMB, BUSTED ELBOW!!

Humana agreed to let me see Dr. Bruce Holladay at Commonwealth Ortho and he has amazing, awesome credentials. Now, that said, I saw many doctors in NYC with “amazing, awesome credentials” who were complete ____ (insert four letter word of your choice there!). They either called me a drug addict, dismissed my claims of pain, decided to drug me like crazy or told me to take Tylenol (ha!), didn’t care that veins around my elbow are black or that I couldn’t DO MY JOB. But I have high hopes for this guy. And that’s scary. High hopes have equaled dashed dreams for lots of past doctors. But we’ll see. Please keep your fingers crossed. I need this appointment to go well. I’ll let you all know when it’s scheduled!

What are you all up to this weekend? I’m watching the Kitten Bowl and checking in on the Super Bowl for Team Spirit for my Cali fam. 🙂

Making “here” home

In the spirit of yesterday’s post, I have a lot of DIY projects! 🙂 

You saw the dresser that I’m going to paint. Well, today, I got this awesome piece!

And these are paint colors I’m going to get! These “samples” cover up to 16 square feet. PERFECT for my furniture projects. All together, paint will be under $20!

There is a color, obvi, missing from above. 😉 But I already have a pint of hot pink. 

Now to order paint then decide what gets X color and Z pattern. FUN!
